[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.

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.

Colorful Eggs of Little Bunny

A warm, cozy finish using yarn! Here’s a colorful bunny-egg idea to try.

This is a great recommendation if you’re thinking of making Easter crafts this year using materials other than paper.

Using yarn gives it a soft, gentle look and feel.

You’ll need construction paper, yarn, a craft punch, and craft glue.

Cut the construction paper into an egg shape, then cut out a bunny silhouette from the center, and use the craft punch to add a decorative border.

On a separate backing sheet, lightly sketch the egg shape, apply craft glue, and lay the yarn side by side.

Finally, glue the two sheets of paper together, and you’re done!

Fun for babies and toddlers! Here’s a colorful egg craft idea using tissue paper.

It’s an activity even infants can enjoy, so it’s perfect for anyone spending time with a baby class.

The bright colors make it a cute, pop-style craft.

You’ll need construction paper, tissue paper, scissors, glue, and crayons.

For easier participation, try applying the glue directly to the egg-shaped construction paper so the children can simply press the tissue pieces onto it.

Tulips made with teardrop-shaped stamps

Butterflies made with torn paper collage

Here’s how to make butterflies flying around a flower field.

Cut construction paper into the shapes of butterfly wings and a body to create the base.

If you layer two sheets of construction paper for the base, it will be sturdier.

Tear pieces of origami paper and glue them onto the wings.

Using patterned origami will make it look more festive and give it a spring-like feel.

For the body, add round stickers to distinguish it from the wings.

Draw facial expressions, and your butterfly is complete.

Tearing the origami by hand lets you enjoy differences in shapes and sizes.

Cut the construction paper into teardrops of the same size.

Glue the kitchen paper and construction paper teardrops together to form tulips, and you’re done.

Give it a try—these softly blurred colors make beautifully delicate tulips!
