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!

Setsubun wreath

[Origami] How to Make a Setsubun Wreath [With Voice Commentary] Cute Ideas for Setsubun Decorations!

Let’s welcome the arrival of spring into the classroom with a Setsubun wreath! By using motifs associated with Setsubun—such as ehomaki sushi rolls, oni (ogre) masks, and holly leaves—you can create colorful pieces that will catch children’s eyes.

It’s recommended that the teacher prepare the wreath base, while the children help by folding origami and drawing pictures.

Hang the wreath you all make together on the wall, and the Setsubun atmosphere will really come alive.

Why not enjoy the change of seasons together as you watch the children’s smiles?

Easter garland

Easter Garland [Craft]

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.

Honey and Clover

Here’s a wall decoration idea featuring clovers that start blooming around March and ladybugs that herald the arrival of spring.

Most clovers you see are three-leafed, but it’s said that finding a four-leaf clover brings good luck.

If you’re making a clover-themed wall, it could be fun to include one or two four-leaf clovers as a surprise! Ladybugs in red or yellow would go well with the green clovers.

If you’re creating this for childcare settings, it might be cute to have the children make themselves as ladybugs!

Threading fluffy yarn is so much fun! Here’s a heart-shaped gift craft that’s perfect for 3-year-olds.

First, cut construction paper or cardstock into a heart shape.

If you draw a large heart, it’s a great chance to practice using scissors.

Next, punch holes along the edge of the heart with a hole punch.

Once the holes are made, thread yarn through any hole you like.

It’s done when you randomly lace colorful, thicker yarn through the holes! A radiating pattern looks cute too.

Thicker yarn is easier to thread, so prepare something your child can handle easily.

Setsubun Tapestry

Why not try making a tapestry perfect for Setsubun? A tapestry is a fabric decoration you can hang on a wall.

There are many types—some are woven fabrics, others have printed illustrations—but if children are giving it a try, how about drawing on plain fabric with markers or attaching felt pieces they’ve made? Using stencils sounds fun too.

Feel free to draw things related to Setsubun, like oni (ogres), beans, and ehomaki sushi rolls.

Once it’s finished, hang it on the wall to decorate your room!

Snowman wreath

How about a snowman wreath as a winter-appropriate item to brighten up your walls? It’s an idea even 0-year-olds can enjoy making! First, cut thick paper into a wreath shape and attach a paper doily.

Next, crumple tissue paper and arrange it on top of double-sided tape.

You can make it even more festive by decorating with cut origami paper, round stickers, and washi tape.

Finish by adding a snowman made from construction paper, and you’re done.

Adjust the steps—like using glue or scissors—according to the children’s ages, and have fun creating!

Onigashima

When you think of Setsubun, you probably picture oni (demons).

I imagine many preschools and kindergartens incorporate them into wall decorations.

How about taking inspiration from Onigashima, the island from the picture book “Momotaro,” and making that your theme? Onigashima is the island where the oni live and the place Momotaro travels to defeat them.

Try creating an island with bright colors that prominently features cute oni faces.

If you make several Onigashima islands in different colors, and vary the number of horns and the facial expressions on each oni, you’ll end up with a fun and lively wall display.
