[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 as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

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.

Butterflies made by dyeing with colored water

Let me show you how to make butterflies dyed with colored water.

Prepare kitchen paper towels, construction paper, pipe cleaners, tape, scissors, paint, and empty containers.

Cut the paper towels into four equal pieces, stack them, and tie the center with a pipe cleaner.

Round off both ends of the paper towels with scissors, then unfold them to form the butterfly’s wings.

Dissolve the paint to make colored water in your favorite shades, and dip the paper-towel butterfly in to add color—your spring-like butterfly is complete.

Add a face made from construction paper to create your own cute, original butterfly!

Butterflies drawn with colored ice water

Also great as a sensory play activity! Here’s an idea for painting butterflies using ice made from colored water.

It’s a highly recommended sensory play activity! The chill of the ice combined with the vivid colors will engage children’s senses, making the creative process fun.

As they watch the ice melt, they can enjoy the way the colors spread, making it a fulfilling activity.

It’s also nice to do on warm days out on the terrace or in the playground.

A wonderful idea to enjoy both coolness and art!

Butterflies made from footprints

It’s great that even children in the infant class can make this! Here are some butterfly craft ideas using footprints.

Using footprints in crafts is wonderful because you can keep them as a record of growth.

When you look back, seeing the size and shape from that time will help you feel how much they’ve grown.

This time, let’s arrange a child’s footprint into the shape of a butterfly.

For the butterfly wings, it’s nice to add stickers or cut out pieces from drawing paper with scribbles.

Be sure to give it a try!

The bouncy, tapping feel is so much fun! Here’s an idea for making colorful butterflies with balloon stamps.

A balloon stamp is an art technique where you inflate a balloon, dab it in paint, and tap it onto drawing paper to add color.

This time, we’ll use balloon stamps to create butterflies that let you enjoy beautiful color blending.

Adjust the size of the balloon to fit your child’s hand.

Butterfly made with felt

[Spring Craft] From 1-year-olds! Easy Felt Butterfly

Butterfly made with felt

Combine different materials to create your favorite butterfly! Here are some felt butterfly ideas.

It’s a good idea to prepare a few types of materials in addition to felt so children can choose and mix them on their own.

Cutting the inner materials smaller than the outer ones enhances the butterfly’s three-dimensional look.

You can also use jute twine instead of pipe cleaners.

Making a favorite butterfly while enjoying the softness and colors of felt is sure to be a fun time for kids.

Butterflies made with round stickers

[Preschool Craft] Spring Craft! Colorful Paper Butterflies Made with Construction Paper

Butterflies made with round stickers

Here’s a spring-like butterfly you can make using round stickers.

Prepare in advance the round stickers, felt-tip pens, pipe cleaners, pre-cut butterfly wings, and pre-cut butterfly faces.

Start by decorating the butterfly wings with round stickers to create patterns.

It’s recommended to use a variety of colors for the stickers.

For the butterfly’s face, have them draw the eyes and mouth with felt-tip pens.

Attach a pipe cleaner to the butterfly’s head and curl the tips—that’s it! You’re done.

You might also like to stick them on the wall and add spring flowers around them for a soft, spring-themed display.
