20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

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.

Valentine’s Day on February 14th is an event that kids really look forward to, isn’t it?

Since it involves chocolates and sweets, some preschools or kindergartens may choose not to hold it, but how about expressing a cute and festive atmosphere on the wall displays?

In this article, we’re sharing lots of wall display ideas featuring adorable motifs that are perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Even without a candy exchange, we hope it becomes a wonderful day to express gratitude to those important to you.

These ideas can also be used for at-home Valentine’s events.

Be sure to give them a try!

Heart mobile

[Craft Play] Let's make a heart mobile you can use for Valentine's Day decorations

Heart mobile

Let’s make a heart mobile using construction paper.

In this idea, we’ll create two types of heart decorations.

For the first one, prepare four heart-shaped cutouts, fold each in half, stack them, and glue them together so they form a 360° heart.

For the second one, cut two long, narrow strips of construction paper, overlap one end at a 90° angle and glue them.

Then overlap and glue the other ends so that the base of the heart forms a lattice pattern—this completes the piece.

Make several of each, then thread twine through the center to finish the mobile.

Easy! Heart Stick

[Valentine’s Craft] A Heart Stick That 3-, 4-, and 5-Year-Olds Can Make

Easy! Heart Stick

When you shake the stick, the beads inside the heart jingle and look adorable.

If you bring this to a Valentine’s event, something wonderful might happen! You’ll need construction paper, beads, an OPP bag, and a straw.

First, cut the construction paper into a heart shape and cut out the inside as well to make a frame.

You’ll need two of these frames, one for each side.

Put the beads into the OPP bag and seal it, then attach it to the heart frame.

Next, glue a straw to the bottom of the heart as a handle and place the remaining heart frame on top.

Tie a ribbon around the straw for an even cuter finish.

Heart-shaped woven basket

[Valentine Craft] February Valentine Heart Woven Basket [Easy Craft] Valentine work

Heart-shaped woven basket

Let’s make a heart-shaped basket using soft, textured reversible crepe paper.

It’s a fun idea that lets you experience a bit of weaving! First, cut the parts from the reversible crepe paper: two pieces measuring 24 cm × 9 cm for the basket, one piece measuring 24 cm × 2 cm for the handle, and one piece measuring 24 cm × 1 cm for the decorative ribbon.

Fold each 24 cm × 9 cm piece in half so the two sides show different colors, then make cuts from the fold at widths of 3 cm and 1 cm, respectively.

Leave the top 3 cm uncut.

Weave the slits over and under alternately, layering them to create a lattice pattern and form the basket.

Once woven, round off the corners to shape it into a heart, attach the handle and ribbon, and you’re done.

Heart paper fan

[Heart Decorations] How to Make Heart-Shaped Paper Fans

Heart paper fan

Here’s an idea for heart-shaped paper fans that will give your room a cute, charming vibe.

A paper fan is a decoration made by combining accordion-folded paper.

This time, we’ll fold a rectangular sheet into an accordion and then bend it into a V-shape to form a heart.

Once it’s finished, try sticking it on the wall or displaying it as you like.

By the way, using a clip makes it easy to hold the V-shape in place.

Another appeal of this idea is how simple it is—you don’t need scissors or glue.

Two-Color Heart You Can Make with Kids

[Origami] A Valentine’s “two-colored heart” to make together with a 3-year-old

Two-Color Heart You Can Make with Kids

Here’s a cute two-tone heart idea using double-sided origami paper! First, fold the paper in half so it becomes a rectangle.

Then overlap the left and right sides to fold it into a square, and repeat the same fold once more to crease it well.

Return the paper to the rectangular shape and place it with the creases at the bottom.

Fold the bottom-left corner up to align with the outer crease.

Open that fold into a triangle and flatten it.

If the left side of the paper looks like a house shape, you’re on the right track.

Next, lift one layer of the top-right corner and fold it down into a triangle along the bottom edge.

Once folded, fold the right edge in to meet the center line.

Lift one layer of the lower-left corner of the part you just folded and fold it into a triangle, then flip the paper over.

Fold the right edge inward to form a square again, and fold down the top edge about 5 mm all together.

Open the topmost layer of the folded-down section and squash the corner into a triangle.

Finally, fold both bottom corners in to meet the center line, and it will form a heart!
