[Childcare] Decorate in April! A collection of recommended wall display ideas for Easter

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.
9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

In April, many people think of bunnies and eggs because of Easter events.

Easter, also known as the Resurrection Festival, is a Christian holiday that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

That’s why eggs, symbols of vitality, and rabbits, known for their strong powers of fertility, are used as Easter motifs.

This time, we’re sharing ideas for wall decorations to brighten up your Easter festivities.

From origami and construction paper to creations using fun techniques, these ideas are packed with ways to spark children’s curiosity!

Let’s make lots of colorful, pop-style bunnies and eggs to create a festive Easter atmosphere together with the kids.

Easter eggs made with a stamp

Here’s how to make colorful Easter eggs using a pom-pom stamper.

Gather paint, a pom-pom stamper, white drawing paper, paper cut into egg shapes, and round stickers.

Dip the stamper in paint and stamp it onto the paper to add color.

The key is to choose bright, spring-like colors.

Cut one sheet of paper into a bunny base, and cut the painted paper into a cracked-egg shape, then glue them together.

Finally, attach the eyes and ears to finish! Drawing the face with crayons is also a great option.

Salt Art Egg

Let's try salt art! 2 easy art projects

Salt Art Egg

These are Easter eggs made with salt art, created by sprinkling salt.

First, draw the outline of an egg on a backing sheet with glue, then add patterns inside.

Before the glue dries, sprinkle salt over it and shake off the excess.

Next, load paint onto a brush and gently let the color soak into the salt—then it’s done! If you’re making them with kids, it’s also a good idea to pre-tint the salt with paint.

It’s fascinating that everyday table salt can become an art material, isn’t it?

Punch art egg

Production: Do you know about punch art? [Easter 🥚]

Punch art egg

Punch art is a craft that uses the tiny round paper pieces that are usually discarded when using a hole punch.

First, prepare papers in various colors and use a hole punch to make lots of round pieces.

It’s also recommended to work together with children while paying attention to hand placement and how much force to apply.

Next, spread glue on an egg-shaped backing sheet and simply sprinkle on the pieces made with the hole punch.

By varying how you apply the glue, you can create different patterns such as dots and stripes.

To keep the paper from scattering, it’s a good idea to set the backing sheet inside a shallow box or similar container.
