flower shop
A cute flower shop wall display lined with colorful flowers.
Don’t you feel a little excited and cheerful when you see spring blossoms, even as an adult? As the weather warms, sprouts emerge, plump little buds form, and the flowers bloom beautifully—each one brimming with vitality.
A flower shop filled with such blooms offers many kinds of flowers that bring out the spirit of spring.
Try placing some cute animal customers around the flowers.
It’s a lively, fun wall display that almost lets you hear cheerful chatter.

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.
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.
