[For Seniors] February Wall Decorations Are All About Setsubun! Fun Ideas with Oni and Ehomaki (71–80)
A demon eating an ehomaki (lucky sushi roll)
A very humorous-looking ogre eating an ehomaki sushi roll.
Made with paper cups and origami, its playful appearance is sure to captivate children! The main materials are just a paper cup and origami, plus a few everyday supplies.
The key is the ehomaki the ogre is chomping on.
By carefully rolling the origami instead of cutting corners, you’ll create a realistic 3D effect that kids will love.
It’ll make a fun wall decoration that even helps little ones who are afraid of ogres warm up to them—“Even ogres eat ehomaki!”
Setsubun hanging ornament
This is a hanging Oni decoration that lets you enjoy both origami and kirigami during the making process.
Materials and tools include origami paper, tissue, elastic beading cord, tape, colored pencils, scissors, a craft knife, wood glue, and more.
Create both two-horned and one-horned oni, and use colored pencils to give them a variety of expressions for a richly varied finish.
Be sure to make some oni pants too—the kind that will make kids want to sing their favorite song, “Oni no Pants.” If you add lots of Setsubun-themed elements like holly with sardines, ehomaki sushi rolls, and plum blossoms, kids will get excited and say, “I know this!”
In conclusion
If you decorate the walls in February with Setsubun-themed crafts, your facility or rooms will instantly be wrapped in a seasonal atmosphere.
Motifs unique to Setsubun—such as oni (ogres), Otafuku masks, and ehomaki sushi rolls—can also serve as prompts to evoke fond memories for older adults.
Craft activities using stamps or origami not only make for enjoyable hands-on work but also spark lively conversation.
