snow rabbit
Snow bunnies with their soft, cute silhouettes bring a sense of comfort.
They’re perfect for February wall decorations, when activities like snowball fights and building snowmen are in full swing.
Just prepare origami or construction paper, make the eyes, ears, and body parts, and assemble them to finish.
In childcare settings, it’s a great project even for children who haven’t done crafts before.
You can simply display the finished pieces, or pair them with memorable photos and illustrations.
Try creating wall decorations that will spread smiles among children attending daycare or kindergarten.
snowman
When it snows, building a snowman during outdoor play is a classic, isn’t it? How about drawing faces on pure white construction paper or adding stickers to create your own original snowmen? Whether you live in a region with lots of snow or not, these make heartwarming wall decorations for the chilly month of February! Snowmen have simple shapes, so kids can easily cut them out with scissors.
You can also personalize them by, for example, sticking your child’s photo on the snowman’s face.
Feel free to use this as inspiration for your next craft project!
oni; demon; ogre; spirit (depending on context)
When it comes to early-February events, Setsubun comes to mind.
Throwing beans at home is a classic custom, but in recent years eating ehōmaki has also become widely known! And if there’s a star of the increasingly lively Setsubun, it’s definitely the oni (ogres).
Scary oni appear in the hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba as well, so children are probably familiar with them.
Why not decorate the walls of your kindergarten or nursery with cute oni? They’re easy to make with everyday materials like construction paper and yarn, so try creating them together with your children.
Ogre Pants
Among the many events held in February, Setsubun is one of the most well-known.
It’s famous for the phrase “Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi” (“Demons out, fortune in”) and for throwing beans at oni (demons).
A perfect wall decoration for this season is the oni’s pants.
Prepare construction paper or origami paper and use watercolor paints or crayons to create a resist painting on top.
You can go with the classic yellow-and-black pattern, or let the children draw any designs they imagine.
It’s also fun to display the finished oni pants as if they were laundry hanging out to dry.
This seasonal wall decoration is sure to shine during Setsubun and help everyone feel the time of year.
butterbur sprout
Butterbur buds (fukinotō) peek out from the still-snowy ground.
As a herald of spring, don’t they just warm your heart? Since fukinotō have a pleasantly bitter taste, they might be a bit early for children to eat, but they’re great for learning plant names—so please consider them as inspiration for your February wall decorations! Fukinotō have a distinctive shape and features, which makes it easy to create the parts.
If you make two types—a blooming version and a bud version—it will enhance the overall design.
Mount Fuji
Mount Fuji is a classic motif for New Year’s as well.
In fact, February 23 is Mount Fuji Day! Why not take advantage of this commemorative day and use it as an idea for a February wall decoration? It’s also a great opportunity for kids to remember, “Today is Mount Fuji Day!” Mount Fuji, capped with white snow against a bright red sun, looks striking on a wall.
That alone is lovely, but if it feels a bit plain, adding animals or characters will delight the children.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced a whole range of recommended wall decoration ideas for February.
From event-themed designs like Setsubun and Valentine’s Day to seasonal motifs such as plum blossoms, bush warblers, snowmen, and penguins, there are plenty of great ideas for February.
When crafting, choosing colors children like or letting them draw and paste their favorite pictures will help create a wall display that reflects their individuality even more.
We hope they’ll feel the joy of crafting as they freely turn their ideas into shapes.
Please use this article as a guide and enjoy creating wall decorations that capture the spirit of the season.
