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.
9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Wall decorations can brighten up a room and spark children’s interest in seasonal changes and special events.

Since it’s something we do every month, many teachers may be wondering, “What should we put up this month?”

In this article, we’ll share recommended ideas for February wall decorations.

We’ve gathered lots of ideas inspired by February events like Setsubun and Valentine’s Day, as well as winter-themed designs.

If you display items made together with the children, you’re sure to create a wonderful space!

Enjoy making wall decorations together.

[Valentine’s Craft] Making Fluffy Heart Decorations with Cardboard and Yarn♪

[Cardboard and Yarn] Fluffy Heart

Let me introduce a fluffy wall decoration that’s perfect for the cold season! First, cut cardboard into a heart shape and apply double-sided tape to one side.

The idea is simple: just wind yarn around it.

By using thick, soft yarn—like the kind you can find at 100-yen shops—you’ll get a decoration that looks and feels wonderfully fluffy.

If you make a small loop with the end of the yarn and secure it at the top before wrapping, you can hang it on a hook.

You can also tuck artificial flowers between the yarn to add a Valentine’s touch!

Japanese bush warbler

The bird that heralds spring with its “hoo-hokekyo” song is the Japanese bush warbler.

As the term “uguisu-iro” suggests, its indescribably soft olive green is striking, isn’t it? February is still cold, but why not express your anticipation for spring with a wall decoration of the bush warbler? It’ll also help children learn the bird’s name! If you make the bush warbler with a round shape, it will look cute.

Adding seasonal flowers like plum blossoms or daffodils would be lovely, too!

Easter garland

Let’s make the venue festive for the Easter event! Here are some ideas for Easter garlands made with construction paper.

Prepare construction paper in your favorite colors, decorative materials like stickers and washi tape, jute twine, a pencil, a ruler, double-sided tape or tape glue, scissors, and a hole punch.

Cut the construction paper into egg shapes and decorate them however you like! Using sparkly materials and patterned washi tape will make the finish even more vibrant.

chocolate

For Valentine’s Day in February, chocolate is a must! Many of you have probably given handmade chocolates to someone you have feelings for.

Those sweet, melt-in-your-mouth chocolates are also great ideas for February wall decorations! When it comes to chocolate, the variations are endless—think chocolate bars, chocolate drops, or designs inspired by luxury chocolates.

It’s a perfect motif to make with children, so feel free to use it as a reference for your early childhood education materials!

heart

When it comes to big events in February, Valentine’s Day tops the list! Girls get butterflies, and boys feel a little fidgety.

For a Valentine’s Day that kids will look forward to, heart-themed wall decorations are highly recommended! Combine heart-shaped paper fans that pop on the wall, origami hearts, and wreaths made by assembling origami hearts to create a fun and varied display.

It would also be lovely to paste your child’s photo on the hearts or have them add drawings or messages.
