[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.

A butterfly with beautiful watercolor-like bleeding effects

Gently blending colors make it so beautiful! Here are some ideas for butterflies using a bleeding painting technique.

Bleeding painting is a form of art that takes advantage of the way paint or ink bleeds and spreads across paper or canvas to create beautiful effects.

Its charm lies in the dreamy atmosphere and soft impression it gives.

This time, let’s use paper towels to make original butterflies.

Color the paper towel with water-based markers, then use a dropper to let water soak in.

Once it’s fully dry, cut it into a butterfly shape and wrap a pipe cleaner around it to finish!

Tulips Painted with the Wet-on-Wet Technique

♬ I wonder – Da-iCE

Let me introduce tulips made with a bleeding-painting technique that lets you enjoy how colors blend.

Prepare a coffee filter, water-based color pens, a spray bottle, construction paper, glue, and scissors.

Draw on the coffee filter with the color pens.

When you spray water over it, the water-based ink will bleed and blend.

Once it’s dry, cut it into a tulip shape and glue it onto a backing sheet to finish.

If you like, adding eyes made from round stickers to the tulip could be cute too!

Chick and Four-Leaf Clover

Here’s an introduction to making chicks and four-leaf clovers.

Prepare paint, brushes, a palette, drawing paper, and crayons, and let’s get started.

Put paint on the children’s palms and have them do hand painting to color and create the four-leaf clovers.

Older children can try drawing chicks and ladybugs on the drawing paper.

For younger children, it’s also nice to have them paste pre-made chicks or ladybugs.

For the background paper, we recommend spring-like colors such as pink or light blue!

Sticky Felt Balloon

Here’s an idea for making balloons that make the most of felt’s soft, fluffy texture.

First, cut light blue construction paper into a balloon shape.

Next, cut felt in three colors into triangles or squares.

Finally, use wood glue to attach the felt pieces onto the balloon and make a handle with yarn—that’s it! It’s also cute to display the balloons as if animals or characters are holding them.

Adjust tasks like cutting the paper and using scissors according to the children’s age and developmental stage.

Besides felt, it’s also fun to try various materials like ribbons and beads to decorate the balloons.

Give it a try for inspiration!

Fun flip-and-find Easter eggs

We’d like to introduce a fun Easter egg wall display where cute animals pop out of eggs when you peel them open.

Get scissors, construction paper, double-sided tape, glue, crayons, and colored pens ready, and let’s get started.

Sketch on the construction paper and cut out animal shapes.

The key is to cut them to the same size.

On the base sheet, place the animal cutout and then attach the egg on top so that the opening lines up with the animal’s face.

Once it’s complete, gently tear along the slit by hand—the egg will ‘crack,’ and the animal will peek out from inside! It’s a perfect wall decoration for the Easter season.

Colorful butterfly

Three-dimensional, vibrant butterflies capture children’s interest! Here are some colorful butterfly ideas.

Decorating the classroom walls can stimulate children’s creativity and deepen their curiosity for learning as they explore colors and shapes.

Seasonal motif decorations are also a great opportunity to convey a sense of the seasons and the unique scenery they bring.

This time, let’s use construction paper and tissue paper to make colorful, festive butterflies.

Using a craft punch will enhance the charm of the creations even more!

Butterflies made with colorful tissue paper

♬ Colors – Stella Jang

Let’s make your very own special butterfly! Here are some ideas for butterflies made with colorful tissue paper.

Tissue paper is thin and soft, and it’s often used for crafts that have a gentle, festive feel.

With its wide range of colors, it’s perfect for creating three-dimensional flowers and decorations.

It’s lightweight and easy for kids to work with, so they can cut, crumple, and twist it to freely express different shapes.

This time, we’ll make a butterfly from the popular children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The patterns and color choices really show off each person’s individuality.
