[January Childcare] Rabbit-Themed Wall Display Ideas

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.
Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Rabbits often appear in picture books and songs, making them one of the animals most familiar to children.

They’re also frequently used as motifs in crafts.

So for teachers who are looking for January wall display ideas, how about creating a wall display that features rabbit motifs?

If you combine them with New Year–themed items like snow bunnies, fukuwarai, or daruma, children can also learn about New Year’s traditions.

We’re also sharing ideas you can make together with the children, so please use them as inspiration for your wall displays.

Because the children’s creations are treated as “artworks,” we use the term “seisaku (制作)” in the text.

Let’s make a winter animal—a snow rabbit—using colored construction paper.

First, use white paper to make a plump, egg-like shape.

Cut out nandina (heavenly bamboo) leaves and berries from colored paper as well.

Create a window with falling snow from colored paper, then paste the rabbit there.

If the snow pieces for the window are too small and tricky, a parent or guardian can cut them, or you could draw them with a white crayon instead.

Putting this on a wall or mounting it on a backing sheet will enhance the winter mood and look lovely.

You could also change the wall decorations with each season.

Papercut Rabbits and Daruma Mochi

[Origami] How to Cut a Daruma and Mochi Rabbit — Kirigami ☆ Dharma Doll and Mochi Rabbit

Papercut Rabbits and Daruma Mochi

The set of a kagami-mochi, a rabbit, and a daruma—especially the plump, rounded daruma mochi rabbit—is just so cute, isn’t it? Get your scissors, origami paper, and a pencil ready, and let’s make it.

Fold the origami paper in half, and on one half, draw the shape of a daruma with a pencil.

The key is to make it like a rice ball (triangle) shape.

For the rabbit mochi, fold another sheet of origami paper in half and, keeping the shape of kagami-mochi in mind, draw the rabbit’s body.

Draw the eyes and mouth, then cut along the lines with scissors.

Finally, paste the finished daruma and rabbit mochi onto a sheet of construction paper as a base, and enjoy displaying your creation.

New Year decorations of rabbit Daruma

[Craft Idea] Rabbit Daruma New Year Decorations with Templates (January) (Wall Decorations) (Activities for Seniors, Occupational Therapy/OT, Daycare, Preschool) (Daruma, Carrot, Kadomatsu)

New Year decorations of rabbit Daruma

When it comes to New Year’s good-luck charms, daruma dolls are a classic.

Let’s make a craft that combines the zodiac animal with a daruma.

Prepare construction paper, origami paper, glue, and scissors.

First, create the base for the daruma and decide on its size.

Then cut out the parts to fit the base and glue them together.

It might be nice to change the color of the origami paper for the daruma, too.

Make the favorite food of the zodiac animal, and combine it with a gold fan for a New Year’s touch to finish.

Finally, glue the daruma and the food onto the construction paper base, and you’re done.

Give it a try!

A rabbit folded from two sheets of origami paper

Easy! How to fold an origami bunny | Moon-viewing craft for ages 2 and up — Origami Bunny

A rabbit folded from two sheets of origami paper

Rabbits are often depicted together with moon viewing because the white patterns on the moon are said to resemble a rabbit pounding mochi.

Let’s make such a rabbit using two sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the first sheet into a triangle twice, then open the triangle and fold it into a square.

Next, fold down the top single layer in half.

Flip it over and repeat the same steps.

Fold both ears toward the center, then fold the tip of one ear outward to finish the face.

Now take the second sheet of origami, fold it into a triangle in half, and open it.

Fold all four edges inward along the crease to form a diamond shape.

Fold the bottom part up, then fold it slightly back down.

Fold the top part inward as well, then fold everything in half to complete the body.

Finally, glue the face and body together and draw the face to complete your rabbit!

A daruma transforms into a cute rabbit! Let’s make an adorable rabbit daruma! First, here’s how to make the daruma.

Fold the paper in half into a triangle twice to make creases, then open it.

Fold the bottom corner up to the crease and open it; repeat this twice, then fold up from the very bottom twice.

Match the lower left corner with the corner you just folded and crease; do the same on the right side.

Next, fold the opposite corner up to the center line, then fold the left and right corners straight in toward the center line.

Fold the top upward, flip it over, and fold any parts sticking out along the edges of the paper.

Fold the corners in to meet the center, and fold up the bottom—your daruma is complete.

Attach ears made from origami and draw the face to finish your rabbit daruma! It stands on its own, so it looks lovely as a display piece.
