[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!

Tulip made by gluing origami pieces

Here’s how to make a tulip by tearing and pasting origami paper.

Gather origami paper, construction paper, crayons, glue, and scissors.

Tear the origami paper by hand or cut it with scissors to create small shapes.

Glue the pieces onto the construction paper, trying to place them so there are as few gaps as possible.

Arrange and glue together pieces with similar patterns and colors so they are close to each other, then cut them into the shape of a tulip and paste it onto the backing paper.

Finish by drawing the stem, leaves, and other details around it with crayons.

Teacher Hen and the Chick Preschoolers

A wall display featuring chickens as nursery or kindergarten teachers and chicks as the children attending can convey a cheerful school atmosphere.

Put an apron on the chicken to make it look like a teacher, and give the chicks uniform hats or little school bags.

A scene where many chick children gather around the teacher will likely help people easily imagine daily life at a daycare or kindergarten.

If you want to capture the fluffy feel of the chicks and chicken, it’s recommended to use fabric materials like felt for parts of their bodies.

Easter

In recent years, Easter has started to be seen and heard in various places when spring arrives.

Overseas, it’s a very popular event celebrated as the Resurrection Festival of Christ, and it has been gradually catching on in Japan as well.

Here’s an idea for wall decorations themed around Easter.

Wall displays centered on pink, yellow, and pastel colors feel springlike and create a warm atmosphere.

Rabbits and eggs also add to the cuteness.

These wall decorations might even give children a chance to learn about Easter.

Tulip

There are many flowers that symbolize spring, but tulips are familiar and perfect for conveying the feeling of the season.

The children’s song “Tulip” is well known not only among kids but also older people.

Tulips carry that cute, storybook image just like in the song.

Wall decorations featuring tulip flowers in various colors catch the eye with their bright primary hues.

In addition to the red, white, and yellow from the song, pink and purple tulips are also beautiful.

It could be nice to create them with the image of the schoolyard or the garden beds at your preschool in mind.
