We’ve gathered many ideas—from wall displays you can put up in classrooms and hallways to impressive designs perfect for bulletin boards in entrances and halls.
It would also be lovely to add your favorite motifs, such as spring animals or birds.

Cherry Blossoms Made with Paper Quilling
It’s fun to twirl with your fingertips! Here are some cherry blossom ideas you can make with paper quilling.
You’ll need pink construction paper, a toothpick, scissors, and glue.
First, cut the paper into 1-centimeter-wide strips to make long, thin quilling paper.
Next, use the toothpick to roll the quilling paper into tight coils.
Finally, pinch and shape the coils to form petals, and your parts are complete! Keep making more parts and assemble them to finish your cherry blossoms.
four-leaf clover
A four-leaf clover is seen as a symbol of happiness, and it’s exciting to find one, isn’t it? How about making your own four-leaf clover? Using coffee filters and paint, you can create a cute effect, and it’s fun to watch the paint gradually seep in and form a gradient.
Leave a small part of the coffee filter uncut so the center of the clover stays connected, then cut the leaf parts into rounded shapes.
Holding the connected part, dip it into colored water made by diluting paint.
Let it dry as is, then open it up—and your clover is complete! If you vary the shades of green and make lots of them, you’ll create an even stronger spring-like atmosphere.
Cherry Blossoms and Rapeseed Flowers
When you think of spring in Japan, you think of cherry blossoms.
Sakura also helps elevate the atmosphere of graduation and entrance ceremonies.
Let’s create a wall decoration that combines cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers to liven up the preschool for the new term.
Paper crafts featuring cherry blossoms come in many varieties—from petals made in a single pink color to layered combinations of red, white, and pink.
Choose according to the size of your wall and the time you can spend.
Scattering some three-dimensional petals here and there adds impact.
The bright yellow rapeseed flowers have a presence that rivals the sakura.
Aim to fill the bottom edge of the wall with yellow.
Adding bees and butterflies will enhance the mood even more.
Cherry blossom petal wreath
Make it with origami! Here’s an idea for a cherry blossom petal wreath.
You’ll need eight quarter-size sheets of origami paper and glue.
The origami cherry blossom petals look like they’re connected—so cute! Using a single pink color works well, but it’s also lovely to mix in petals made from light pink or white paper.
Using washi-patterned origami changes the vibe even more, so it’s highly recommended.
It’s a perfect idea for decorating a room wall or your entryway!
Butterflies and cherry blossoms
Butterflies are strongly associated with the blossoming of spring, but many species lay eggs multiple times in their lives, so you can see them even into early autumn.
Let’s liven up springtime at the preschool with a wall decoration that combines these beautiful butterflies with cherry blossoms.
While silhouette-style cutout butterflies are nice, here we’ll take an extra step and try making three-dimensional ones.
Cut construction paper into strips, then attach the ends to form a pear-shaped paper ring—this will be one of the butterfly’s wings.
Attach it to the body, add thin antennae, and your butterfly is complete.
If you give the butterflies expressive faces, the children might each find a favorite.
Create the scene with butterflies dancing beneath a large cherry tree.
It’s sure to make a cheerful wall decoration to welcome new preschoolers.
