[Childcare] June Wall Decoration Ideas (1–10)
raincoat
A raincoat is indispensable during the rainy season.
Here’s an idea to use raincoats—something familiar and friendly to children—as a wall decoration.
Instead of simply cutting out raincoat shapes and displaying them, why not try adding a creative twist? Prepare raincoats in a variety of bright colors, then create patterns by rolling marbles dipped in paint over colored construction paper, or by flicking paint from a brush in a dripping style.
After adding the patterns, cut the paper into raincoat shapes to make unique, personalized raincoats.
Hanging ornament of umbrellas and raindrops
These days you can even find transparent origami paper at 100-yen shops.
How about using that transparent origami to make a hanging decoration of umbrellas and raindrop shapes? Use pipe cleaners to make the umbrella handles.
With umbrellas in different colors and raindrops fluttering gently, it’s a delightful, mesmerizing decoration to look at.
You can make it with colored cellophane too, but transparent origami paper is sturdier and holds its shape more easily.
You can also get pipe cleaners and nylon thread at 100-yen shops.
It should look even more beautiful when the light hits it.
toothbrushing
June 4th is Cavity Prevention Day.
How about making a wall decoration inspired by toothbrushing, with a message encouraging kids to brush their teeth thoroughly? You could show children and animals holding toothbrushes and brushing their teeth, or introduce a character who got a cavity to convey the message, “Let’s be careful so this doesn’t happen.” Create a piece that helps everyone pay extra attention to daily habits in June.
It’s also recommended to design it so the mouth can open, letting kids “check” by opening the mouths and asking, “Does everyone have no cavities?”

Mr. Kaminari
With rumbling booms and sudden flashes of lightning… thunder can be scary—many children, and even adults, don’t like it.
But since it’s inseparable from the rainy season, why not make a cute thunder god as a wall decoration? Tiger-striped pants and horns might sound intimidating, but let’s create a round, adorable thunder deity that looks like a character from an animated show.
Give them fluffy, shaggy hair in a variety of colors to add extra cuteness!
[Stickers] Colorful Umbrellas and Frogs
Let’s try making a cute craft with a colorful umbrella and a little frog.
With this idea, kids can enjoy fingertip stamping and sticking stickers.
Have the children use finger stamps to make a rainy pattern on a sheet of construction paper that will serve as the background.
Next, cut out the umbrella and frog parts from construction paper.
An adult should do the cutting.
Once the parts are ready, decorate the umbrella by adding stickers to make patterns.
You can draw the frog’s face, but it’s also recommended to paste a photo of the child—this makes it look like they’re wearing the frog’s raincoat and it’s super cute.
Finally, glue the umbrella and frog parts onto the background sheet, and you’re done!
Hanging Umbrella Decoration for Ages 0–2
A perfect craft for the rainy June season is a hanging decoration with an umbrella motif.
By making it together with the teacher, even very young children from ages 0 to 2 can take part.
First, prepare paper plates and let the children color them freely.
Finger painting, crayon-resist (wax-resist) techniques, or using dabbers/tampons can be used—choose according to age and preference.
Once colored, cut the paper plates in half and attach the cut edges together.
Then thread a pipe cleaner through the center to make the umbrella handle—and it’s done! After the coloring step, you can let the children choose the color of the pipe cleaner and the shape of the umbrella’s edge, while the teacher handles the actual assembly work.
Hydrangea torn-paper collage art
The rainy season can feel damp and muggy, and the overcast skies can make it seem dim, so it may carry a strong negative image.
Hydrangeas, however, might be just the thing to brighten that gloomy image of the rainy season, even if only a little.
Let’s enjoy and get through the rainy season with a torn-paper collage featuring hydrangeas—an essential motif for this time of year.
It’s a simple activity: color construction paper with crayons and cut it into small pieces, then paste them onto a hydrangea-shaped outline so the flowers appear to bloom.
Being mindful of finger movements is important—the light coloring process and the fine motions of cutting and pasting help exercise dexterity.
