[April] Cute spring-themed classroom wall decoration ideas for early childhood education

Butterflies made with finger painting

Happy little fingers that stay clean! Here’s a butterfly craft idea using finger painting.

By using a zippered plastic bag, there’s no mess on their fingers, so even infants in the 0-year-old class can enjoy it—such a great point.

With finger-painted butterflies, kids can press with their fingers, step with their feet, or grab with their hands, enjoying art in any way they like.

Using their hands helps develop their senses and fine motor skills, and they can also enjoy the excitement of not knowing exactly how the artwork will turn out.

Let’s create together with the children and have fun seeing what kind of art emerges.

A flower field made with fork stamping

Let’s make a colorful, cute spring flower field using fork stamps.

Prepare paint, a fork, green-toned tissue paper, construction paper, and glue.

Tear the tissue paper vertically by hand to create stems and leaves.

Tissue paper is delicate, so tear it gently.

Once you’ve glued the tissue paper onto the construction paper to represent stems, start stamping with paint applied to the fork.

If you load the fork with plenty of paint, the flowers’ shapes and colors will stand out clearly.

The softness of the tissue paper will help express the movement of the stems and leaves, too!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar made with fluid art

🐶 @buchiko_hoiku ◂◂◂◂ Check out my other posts, too 🌼 Thank you so much for all the likes 🩷 This time: A Very Hungry Caterpillar made with a new kind of art 🐛 Do you know fluid art (pouring art)? With just liquid laundry starch/glue and acrylic paint, you can enjoy a super fun paint play activity 🩵 I had so much fun that before I knew it, I’d been playing for two hours 🤣 My recommendation: use four colors, and make one of them gold paint—the sparkle is so cute 💖 Since it has laundry glue in it, it takes time to dry! Mine was completely dry in about a day and a half ☺️ I used the pieces I made with fluid art to create a Very Hungry Caterpillar theme 🍎🍐🫐🍓🍊 I didn’t have yellow, but I still made a butterfly and it was so fun! Please try making it yourself 🌈 Thank you for reading to the end 🐶 I share easy, copy-ready ideas you can follow from the intro to the craft ♬︎ I’ll be over the moon if you like ♥, save 𖤘, and follow 𖤐 😂 Comments are super welcome, too 🤍🤍Nursery teacher / Childcare workerKindergarten Teacher#Spring crafts#Wall CreationToddler CraftsPlay that expands from picture books#FluidArtPooling Art#TheVeryHungryCaterpillar

Let’s create a popular picture-book character! We’ll introduce ideas for making The Very Hungry Caterpillar using fluid art.

The picture book The Very Hungry Caterpillar is famous worldwide, and many children are likely familiar with it from reading it at preschool or at home.

Some kids might also know it from hand-play activities or songs.

This time, let’s try making it with fluid art.

Fluid art is an art technique that uses flowing paint to create natural movement and patterns on surfaces like canvas or drawing paper.

Because the movement of the paint is unpredictable, you can create unique and original works!

Cherry blossoms made with lace paper

Recommended for infants! Here’s a cherry blossom craft idea using lace paper.

You’ll need lace paper, construction paper cut into a tree shape, paint, glue, construction paper, round masking tape stickers, and scissors.

First, color the lace paper with paint diluted with water.

Once it’s dry, attach the tree-shaped construction paper.

Next, cut slits into the round masking tape stickers to create cherry blossom petals and stick them on.

Finally, cut the backing paper along the silhouette, and you’re done!

Congratulations on your admission (to kindergarten/preschool)!

Let’s create a lively wall display to celebrate the children who are newly joining! If you include a big “Congratulations” in the design, the children will feel a surge of joy at first glance.

You can craft the letters using motifs like rainbows, flags, or ribbons and place them within the illustration.

Then, decorate around the text with cheerful images such as beautiful cherry trees, spring flowers, the nursery or kindergarten building, and children coming to school.

For the cherry blossoms, it’s also a great idea to have current students draw them or make them out of origami or tissue paper.

Stamp Cherry Blossoms Made from Scrap Materials

Here’s how to make cherry blossoms using recycled materials.

Prepare construction paper, scissors, glue, a toilet paper roll, and paint.

First, create the base of the cherry tree on the construction paper.

Shape the toilet paper roll into a heart, dip it in paint, and stamp it onto the tree.

The stamped shapes look like cherry blossom petals, giving the artwork a springtime feel.

Since children’s hands are small, it’s recommended to cut the toilet paper roll in half to make a stamp that’s easier for them to hold firmly.

Tulips made with handprints

We’d like to introduce a tulip wall display made with handprints that will be a lovely keepsake of children’s growth.

Prepare construction paper, green paint, brushes, and a palette.

Cut out the flower and stem parts from construction paper, then glue them onto a background sheet.

Apply paint thinned with a little water to the children’s palms and press their handprints onto the stem area of the tulips.

The key is to press quickly when making the handprints.

Make sure to prepare everything thoroughly in advance so the activity goes smoothly.

The tulip leaves will turn into adorable handprints.

If you like, add paper cutouts shaped like butterflies for a charming, springtime wall display.
