Cherry blossoms made with balloons
When it comes to flowers that represent April, cherry blossoms come to mind.
This time, we’ll introduce a wall decoration of cherry blossoms made with balloons.
Balloon art may seem difficult, but let’s check the tricks—how to twist the balloons and where to tuck them in—and give it a try.
If you also make the cherry tree branches with balloons and attach the blossoms, the result will look plumper and even more charming.
A classroom with three-dimensional cherry blossom balloon art looks absolutely adorable.
Children starting a new chapter in their lives are sure to feel excited and delighted when they see the cherry blossom balloon art.

Butterfly made with felt
Combine different materials to create your favorite butterfly! Here are some felt butterfly ideas.
It’s a good idea to prepare a few types of materials in addition to felt so children can choose and mix them on their own.
Cutting the inner materials smaller than the outer ones enhances the butterfly’s three-dimensional look.
You can also use jute twine instead of pipe cleaners.
Making a favorite butterfly while enjoying the softness and colors of felt is sure to be a fun time for kids.
Butterflies made with round stickers
Here’s a spring-like butterfly you can make using round stickers.
Prepare in advance the round stickers, felt-tip pens, pipe cleaners, pre-cut butterfly wings, and pre-cut butterfly faces.
Start by decorating the butterfly wings with round stickers to create patterns.
It’s recommended to use a variety of colors for the stickers.
For the butterfly’s face, have them draw the eyes and mouth with felt-tip pens.
Attach a pipe cleaner to the butterfly’s head and curl the tips—that’s it! You’re done.
You might also like to stick them on the wall and add spring flowers around them for a soft, spring-themed display.
A rabbit and cherry blossoms at the kindergarten entrance ceremony
How about combining animal characters with a cherry blossom wall decoration? This idea uses cut-and-paste construction paper to create parts and make a rabbit dressed like a child attending an entrance or graduation ceremony.
For a graduation ceremony, have the rabbit hold a diploma; for an entrance ceremony, give it a yellow school bag—adjust the design as needed.
You can also customize the rabbit’s facial expression.
Try to create a cute face that makes viewers feel warm and happy.
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.
Units that can be applied to fit the size of the wall
Here’s an idea for units you can arrange to fit the size of your wall.
You’ll need light green construction paper, brown construction paper, dandelion flowers made from tissue paper, buds, leaves made from construction paper, craft glue, and scissors.
First, cut the brown construction paper to create the ground.
Next, arrange and glue the leaves, flowers, and buds.
Finally, attach the stems cut from the light green construction paper, and you’re done.
Adjust the arrangement by adding leaves and buds as needed to keep the balance.
Cherry blossom wall with handprints
From infants to adults, let’s get everyone involved! Here are ideas for a cherry blossom wall display using handprints.
These cherry blossom–themed crafts are perfect to make with children in infant classes who have just entered or moved up.
Children grow so quickly, don’t they? Let’s create a dynamic cherry blossom design using their tiny handprints that can only be captured right now.
Making it together with classmates and teachers will help build memories and strengthen bonds.
In small-scale centers, it can also be wonderful to have all enrolled children participate.
