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.

[Childcare] Special feature on ideas you’ll want to use for July wall displays! (1–10)
sunflower
Bright, cheerful sunflowers that symbolize summer are perfect for wall displays! For these sunflowers, prepare origami paper, scissors, and glue.
Cut the yellow origami paper into vertical strips to make individual petals.
By adding creases, you’ll create a more three-dimensional sunflower.
Glue the petals on one by one to form a large sunflower.
The key is to stagger the petals as you attach them so they don’t overlap too much.
For the center of the sunflower, make fine cuts into folded origami paper with scissors, then roll it into a tube to add dimension.
Create sunflowers in various sizes and turn your wall into a bright, summery display.
Milky Way
Speaking of July, there’s Tanabata, a festival that children look forward to.
It’s also fun to create a Milky Way on your July wall display.
Get some origami paper, felt-tip pens, glue, scissors, and bamboo skewers ready, and let’s start making it.
For the stars, use three pieces of origami paper cut into quarters; fold each into a triangle and glue them together.
For the bamboo leaves, crumple the paper to add dimension, then cut it into leaf shapes with scissors.
For the streamers, choose color combinations for the top and bottom to give it a more original touch and a Tanabata feel.
Write your wishes on tanzaku strips and enjoy a delightful Tanabata!
3D Morning Glory
Let’s create three-dimensional morning glories—one of Japan’s quintessential summer motifs—on a wall display.
Prepare origami paper, scissors, glue, and poster paper.
To make the morning glory flowers, cut one piece of origami into a circle and another, slightly smaller than the circle, into a star shape.
Crumple each piece to add texture, then glue them together to form the flower.
If you slightly fold the circular piece and glue the overlapped edge, the flower will take on a three-dimensional shape.
Next, make the leaves and vines.
When creating the vines, twist the paper as you roll it to form a spiral.
Make a support stick, glue everything onto the poster paper, and you’re done.
You’ll have soft, gentle-looking morning glories.

Here’s how to make cute transparent film tanzaku decorations for your wall.
First, take a white sheet of construction paper and punch holes in it using a star-shaped craft punch.
Once you’ve made lots of holes across the sheet, use a sponge with paint to add color.
Navy, blue, yellow—any colors you like are fine.
Cut the paper into the shape of the Milky Way, then attach yellow transparent film to the back.
Trim off any excess.
Glue a larger star—made from a different colored sheet of paper—at the top of the Milky Way, write your wish on the star, and you’re done! It’s also cute to make Orihime and Hikoboshi from construction paper and stick them on.
fluffy shaved ice
Let me introduce fluffy shaved ice that looks delicious, too.
Put cotton and food coloring into a bag and mix them to dye the cotton.
It might be fun to imagine what flavor you’re making as you go.
Stick double-sided tape onto the shaved-ice base you made, then attach the cotton.
The key is to layer it on loosely to create a fluffy, voluminous look.
Dissolve paint and glue in water to mimic condensed milk, and drizzle it over the shaved ice.
Your tasty-looking shaved ice is complete!
Summer and Animals
Here are some July wall display ideas perfect for the hot summer, featuring summer motifs and animals.
With classic summer treats like shaved ice, rhinoceros beetles, and watermelon, the display really gives off a summery vibe and looks delicious.
By adding animals around them, the wall display gains a sense of story.
Try making shaved ice in different flavors to increase the variety.
It’s also a great idea to create a summer-festival-like display by incorporating elements like rhinoceros beetles, watermelon, fans, and food stalls to capture the summer atmosphere.
Setting a clear theme for the display can make it more concrete and easier to create.
3 summer wall decoration ideas
Here are three summer craft ideas for infants.
The first is a refreshing-looking fish made with a clear bag and tissue paper.
The second is a whale made with flat plastic ribbon (suzuran tape) and construction paper.
The third is a wall decoration of a rabbit made with a paper plate and construction paper.
Crumple tissue paper, stick on stickers, and draw patterns and designs with crayons… These are all wonderful ideas that help little ones use their fingers a lot.
With a few adjustments, toddlers can enjoy them too, so feel free to use these as references and give them a try!
