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!
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.
Holly and sardines
Holly and sardines hung on the front door as protection from evil during Setsubun.
Nowadays, few households may actually practice this custom, but it’s said to have been observed since the Heian period, so it’s something you’ll definitely want your children to know about! If you’re thinking of making an oni wall decoration for a Setsubun event, why not make holly and sardines as well and have fun with it? They’re easy to craft with origami or construction paper, so it could be a great activity to try together with your kids.

plum blossoms
Plum blossoms, which bloom with retro, cute flowers around January to March each year.
They instantly brighten up a wall, so why not use them as a February decoration for kindergartens and nursery schools? It can also be a great way to help children learn the flower’s name! You can make plum blossoms out of construction paper and either decorate the wall with just the flowers, or go big by creating branches and the whole tree.
If you have time, adding bush warblers that herald spring will make the display even more fun! It’s also lovely to create it together—have the children stick the flowers onto the wall one by one.
Bean-throwing (Mamemaki)
While chanting “Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi” (“Demons out, good fortune in”), people scatter beans on Setsubun to drive away evil from the home.
Since it’s now established as a February event, your children are probably familiar with it too.
Let’s make a wall decoration with a bean-throwing theme! Try crafting essential Setsubun elements like the oni (demon), roasted lucky beans, and ehomaki sushi rolls by cutting colored construction paper.
Playing with color schemes or using patterned origami paper and stickers can also make the display more vibrant.
If you’re creating it with children, try making cute, friendly-looking oni rather than scary ones.
Rainbow balloon made with looped paper chains
Here’s a perfect wall display idea for spring: a rainbow hot air balloon! This uses a familiar paper chain technique that kids love.
Prepare seven colors of construction paper or origami paper and cut them into strips.
Adjust the length of the paper chain to match the size of your balloon.
Make the balloon out of construction paper; a light color might work best so the rainbow stands out.
Once you’ve made the balloon parts and the rainbow parts, stick them on the wall.
Arrange the rainbow with a good sense of balance.
Besides a regular balloon shape, heart, star, or animal-shaped balloons would also be adorable.
