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

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.
9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

It’s fun to make while thinking, “What kind of face should I do?” The steps are simple, so it’s an easy project for the beginning of a new school year or right after entering school.

Cute and easy! 4 butterfly picks

Simple and cute! 4 ways to make butterflies 🦋 Which one do you like? #craftvideo #walldecorcrafts #kindergarten #nurseryschool #walldecorations #butterflies #springwall

Cute and easy! 4 butterfly picks

Here’s how to make butterflies in four different, fun ways.

The first is to draw swirling patterns with crayons on construction paper.

The second is torn-paper art: glue small pieces of origami paper onto construction paper.

The third is to color aluminum foil with color markers, spray it with water, and then transfer the color onto construction paper.

The last idea uses cooking parchment: attach pieces of colored cellophane to it.

Each method is lovely and results in a uniquely personal piece.

Finish by attaching pipe-cleaner antennae and gluing on the body with a drawn face.

Let’s make a butterfly with heart-shaped packing material

@atsumichan774
Spring Craft: Hello! I’m Atsumi, a nursery teacher. Today I made a butterfly using heart-shaped cushioning material I found at Daiso! No glue needed—just thread a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) through and tie it. Super easy idea. Using springlike pink-toned cushioning makes it extra cute. Perfect for spring decorations or wall displays! I think it’ll look even cuter combined with spring flower motifs. Give it a try! ■ Materials: Heart-shaped cushioning material; chenille stems or twist ties ■ How to make: 1) Thread a chenille stem through two heart-shaped cushioning pieces. 2) Tie the stem to create the antennae.

When you ask a 4-year-old, “What comes to mind when you think of spring?” they’ll likely say “butterflies”—a true symbol of the season.

How about making a butterfly using materials you can buy at a 100-yen shop? Combine two heart-shaped cushion pads with pipe cleaners or twist ties to form a butterfly.

The cushion material is soft, so it’s easy to thread the pipe cleaners through.

Use a pen to curl the ends for a rounded finish.

This cute, tiny butterfly craft is sure to delight your child.

Cute Footprint! How to Make a Caterpillar

A craft that can be fondly looked back on as a wonderful memory when your child grows up: a Very Hungry Caterpillar made using footprints.

Paint the soles of the feet with paint and make four footprints on construction paper.

Once dry, cut them out and stick them onto a backing sheet along with a caterpillar face made from construction paper, and you’re done.

Decorating with round stickers as you like makes it extra cute.

Preserving those tiny footprints that exist only now will be a lovely memory for your child, as well as for caregivers and parents.

It’s also delightful to feel how much they’ve grown when you look back on it later.

Be sure to try making it together with your child.

Bees can be scary, but kids are fascinated by beehives! So let’s make a beehive using bubble wrap, which is often used as cushioning material.

First, paint the bumpy side of the bubble wrap with paint.

Yellow and orange are recommended.

Once the paint is applied all over, stamp it onto white construction paper to transfer the pattern.

After the paint dries, cut the paper into multiple hexagons and paste them onto black construction paper to form a beehive.

Finally, stick on a bee made from construction paper—and it’s complete!

Perfect for walls! A butterfly craft that makes paint play fun

Cut an A4 sheet of drawing paper into the shape of a butterfly, then apply paint on just one side.

Once you’re ready, fold it in half and lift the wing—your design will have transferred beautifully to the other side! You can also enjoy the excitement of seeing what pattern appears the moment you open it.

After that, attach the wings to another A4 sheet for the background, and stick a photo of your child in the center.

You’ll have a one-of-a-kind, adorable butterfly! It will look very spring-like on a wall display and become a wonderful, memorable piece.
