Wall Decor: Celebrate April! A Special Feature on Cherry Blossom Wall Decoration Ideas

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Let’s create a vibrant cherry blossom wall display to decorate in April.

May this cute cherry blossom wall become something that cheers on children as they begin their new lives.

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.

Please try making a cherry blossom wall display that will energize children, teachers, and parents alike.

Because items made by the children are treated as “artworks,” we refer to them in the text as seisaku (制作).

Cherry-Blossom Viewing by the Animals

When it comes to cherry blossoms, hanami and picnics are a must.

It’s heartwarming to see little children pouring juice into tiny cups and imitating the grown-ups.

I think it would be fun to recreate that hanami scene with cute animals.

Start by making animals that are popular with kids, like a squirrel with a big tail or a lion with a bold mane.

When you make a rabbit, use pink instead of white, and make the elephant blue to set the mood.

It’s fine to make all the animals the same size, but making just the elephant extra large could have a big impact! It would be great if it became a photo spot for graduation or school entrance season.

I’d like to share a perfect idea for decorating wall displays for entrance and graduation ceremonies.

First, prepare pink and light pink construction paper, and cut them into cherry blossom petal shapes.

Once you’ve cut about four petals, layer them together.

You’ll get a cherry blossom with a nice thickness.

Repeat this many times, and attach them to a drawn cherry tree to finish.

Depending on the size of the display, you can also add some falling petals.

Feel free to adjust the shapes and layout to fit your space.

Birds and Cherry Blossoms

Birds joyfully flying over beautiful cherry blossoms.

They say “flowers, birds, wind, and moon,” and spring is indeed the season when birds become lively.

It might be lovely to recreate a postcard-like spring scene—birds flying over cherry blossoms—as a wall decoration.

Instead of cutting each bird from a single sheet, it’s better to cut out the head, body, wings, and legs separately and layer them; by changing how you layer the parts, you can create birds in many different shapes.

For example, if you make rounded parts in green and white, you’ll get a Japanese white-eye or a bush warbler; in brown and white, a skylark.

Use sharper-shaped parts and you’ll have a swallow.

If you make the cherry tree a bit larger, it’ll be easier to place the birds.

A bird soaring high on its own, birds flying alongside their companions—be sure to check the balance before you stick them on!

In conclusion

We introduced a charming wall decoration themed around cherry blossoms that herald the arrival of spring.

You can create three-dimensional representations of elegant pink and white petals, stage scenes of blossoms dancing alongside springtime creatures, or depict the majestic form of weeping cherry trees.

Let these works, which fully showcase the beauty of sakura, envelop the smiles of children as they begin the new school term.
