[Childcare] A collection of ideas you’ll want to use for July wall displays!
By July, the children have gotten used to their new environment and are full of energy as they play.
Here, we’ll share wall display ideas you can use for July in childcare settings.
Speaking of July, the first thing that comes to mind is Tanabata.
To create a summery feel, the key is to use simple materials and small parts.
For example, making and putting up decorations like tanzaku strips, stars, flowers, and sun shapes will make the space feel lively.
A fun wall display brightens the atmosphere of the center.
Enjoy arranging the decorations and try creating a wonderful wall display together with the children!

Fireworks made from scrap stamping
https://jp.pinterest.com/pin/992621574095426241/Let me introduce a super fun stamping firework craft using recycled materials.
Get a toilet paper roll, paint, and aluminum foil ready, and let’s make it! Use scissors to cut thin vertical slits into one end of the toilet paper roll, then flare the strips outward.
Squeeze some paint onto the aluminum foil, and dab the cut end of the roll into the paint.
Stamp it onto construction paper to create beautiful fireworks.
Layering a few colors can make the fireworks even more striking.
Stamping on black construction paper is recommended!
A rhinoceros beetle and a watermelon made with origami
We’re introducing two summer favorites: rhinoceros beetles and watermelons.
For the watermelon, cut red and green construction paper into circles and glue them together.
Tear pieces of origami paper by hand and glue them on to create the watermelon pattern.
For the rhinoceros beetle, sharpen the horn shape and make crisp folds.
It’s also fun to fold a stag beetle along with it.
Finish by adding round sticker eyes.
Glue the watermelon and beetles onto a background sheet to enjoy the seasonal feel! A flip feature where a pattern appears when you lift the watermelon is also a fun touch.
Definitely try making this for your July wall display!
Papercraft watermelon
Perfect for a July wall display! Here’s a paper craft watermelon.
Get some construction paper, glue, scissors, and a stapler ready.
When cutting the watermelon using a template, staple the construction paper and the template together first—this keeps them from shifting and makes cutting easier.
For the seeds, using round stickers is also recommended.
When attaching the inner part of the watermelon to the outer rind, line up the fold lines and the edges.
Glue them together in a way that creates thickness.
A three-dimensional watermelon is sure to excite the children!
Summer wall display using paints
In summer, even if things get dirty, the laundry dries quickly, doesn’t it? Here are some summer wall art ideas using paint that are perfect for July.
Put paint on bubble wrap wrapped around a paper cup, and stamp it onto the center of a sunflower like a stamp.
The bubble wrap’s texture makes the sunflower look three-dimensional.
For the water yo-yos you often see at summer festival stalls, mix glue into the paint and gently flick the brush to add color.
You’ll get wonderfully accidental patterns.
You can display them however you like, but decorating them in a festival stall style for a summery feel is also recommended!
Bamboo branches and decorations made of colored construction paper
Here’s a great paper craft idea for displaying Tanzaku with your Tanabata wishes: bamboo branches and decorations made from colored construction paper.
Cut the construction paper to make each part.
If you shape the bamboo stems with a gentle roundness, they’ll look just like real bamboo—soft and rounded.
Use glue to attach the stems at an angle to add a sense of movement.
Fold each leaf in half to create a crease and give the whole piece a three-dimensional look.
Finally, attach the wish-written Tanzaku and bamboo ornaments to finish.
Adding paper chain loops will make it even more festive and perfect for Tanabata.
flower wind chime
Let me introduce flower wind chimes that make hot summer days feel cooler.
Prepare a clear file folder, scissors, origami paper, tissue paper, kite string, and a bell, and let’s get started.
Cut the clear file to the size you want for the wind chime base.
Tear the tissue paper into pieces you like, roll them into small balls, and glue them onto the wind chime base.
Cut the origami paper to make a tanzaku (a hanging strip), thread the kite string through it, and hang it.
Adjust the size of the bell you hang on the wind chime to your liking.
Using patterned origami for the tanzaku can make it look even prettier.
Give it a try!
Pop-up wall decoration
Here’s a pop-up wall display craft that will make a great summer memory.
Use the templates and keep the overall balance in mind as you create.
It might be fun to vary the facial expressions.
You could make the hats in your class color or add a small accent to create cute, approachable hats.
It’s also a good idea to prepare by making your favorite summer foods to place inside the mouth.
Write messages and enjoy making it as a wall display or a summer craft!
