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.

Kimie Gangi February wall decoration: Daffodil flowers made with tissue paper

daffodil

Daffodils bloom even in February, when winter’s cold is at its peak.

They’re characterized by their straight, slender stems and the beautiful hues of their petals.

While you can make them with origami or construction paper, using tissue paper will give your piece a more delicate finish.

First, use a stapler and scissors to create the petal parts.

Next, use a pen or similar tool to curl the top of the stem.

Finally, attach the stem and petals to complete the flower.

Try making this wall decoration of flowers to brighten February as we look forward to the arrival of warm spring.

Mount Fuji

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.

As the children’s song lyric says, “Cats curl up under the kotatsu,” the fluffy, cozy image of cats is perfect for winter wall decorations.

Plus, February 22 is Cat Day—meow meow meow—so they’re especially recommended as decorations for February.

Another perk is that cats on their own work year-round.

For February wall decor, try combining cats with winter motifs like a kotatsu or snowmen.

Set a theme—cats relaxing under a kotatsu, or playing while making a snowman—and create a lovely piece! It’s also a great motif for crafts you can make together with your child.
