[Childcare] Perfect for April: Wall decoration ideas to celebrate starting school and moving up a grade

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.

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.

April marks the start of a new school year!

Here are some wall display ideas for celebrating nursery school enrollment and class promotion.

Use these as a reference to create lovely wall displays that express the children’s growth and excitement.

First, unifying everything with a colorful theme is a great recommendation!

Incorporate seasonal illustrations and motifs to create a bright, fun atmosphere.

Ideas that include the class name on the wall are also enjoyable.

Have fun creating a wall display that helps children feel a sense of belonging!

Fun to make! Hot Air Balloon Mobile

[Den Art Room] Hot Air Balloon Mobile [April Assignment]

Fun to make! Hot Air Balloon Mobile

Let’s celebrate the children’s new beginning with this setup that creates a sky filled with hot-air balloons! First, cut multiple pieces of construction paper into identical, perfectly symmetrical balloon shapes.

Fold each cut piece vertically in half, then glue six pieces together to give the balloon a three-dimensional look.

You can use the same color for all the pieces, or alternate patterns and colors—both are fine! You can also draw pictures inside.

Attach thread to the finished balloon, then fasten it to two wooden sticks arranged in a cross to complete it! It’s also recommended to make clouds and round ornaments in the same way as the balloons and hang them together.

Why not try making soft-looking cherry blossoms using tissue paper? First, cut the tissue paper into squares, then accordion-fold it and fold it in half.

Cut the edge opposite the fold into a petal shape, staple the center, and open it into a cherry blossom.

Next, take a smaller piece of tissue paper, accordion-fold it the same way, staple it, and snip both ends to create the flower center.

Layer the center onto the blossom and glue it in place, and you’re done.

Make lots of them to create a cherry tree or a flurry of falling petals.
