[Childcare] Wall decoration ideas to make for Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day)

Anpanman’s Hina Dolls

Hinamatsuri☆Anpanman wall decoration

Why not make a Hinamatsuri wall decoration using Anpanman characters that kids love? Use a large piece of Japanese-patterned fabric to represent the tiered stand, and create the characters by cutting out parts from construction paper.

Think about each character’s gender and relationships, and decide who will be the Empress (Ohinasama) and the Emperor (Odairisama).

If you want to include more characters, try making the Three Court Ladies and the Five Musicians, too.

If you want it to last, laminating is recommended! Delight the children with an Anpanman-themed Hinamatsuri display!

Five-tiered Hina dolls

Hinamatsuri: I tried making a wall display of a five-tier Hina doll set!!

Why not try making a five-tier Hina doll display using construction paper and origami? From the top: place the Emperor and Empress on the first tier, the three court ladies on the second, the five musicians on the third, the two attendants (zuijin) on the fourth, and the three servants on the fifth.

If you also create accessories like bonbori lanterns and a byobu screen, each tier’s decorations will come together into a very festive wall display.

For the tiered stand, try representing it with wide strips of construction paper, each slightly different in length.

We recommend using Japanese-pattern origami for the kimono sections.

You can either cut the paper into kimono shapes or fold it—whichever you prefer.

Have fun making it your own!

Hina Dolls and Peach Blossoms

[Craft Idea] Hina Dolls, Peach Blossoms, Peaches, and Three-Color Dango — Hina Matsuri (March) (Wall Decorations) (Senior Recreation / Occupational Therapy / Daycare / Childcare) (DIY) (Easy Craft)

Let’s make an Ohinasama (Empress) and Odairisama (Emperor) with origami! First, fold one corner of the origami paper inward to form the kimono.

Then attach a paper face you made from construction paper to the inside of the corner on the opposite diagonal.

Don’t forget to add the head ornaments.

Next, roll the two bottom corners of the origami toward each other so they overlap and glue them together.

If you give them a ritual baton (shaku) and a fan to hold, your Ohinasama and Odairisama will stand on their own! After that, arrange them on the wall along with peach blossoms, tri-colored dango, and other decorations for a balanced display.

I think the teacher should handle the decorating, but making the Ohinasama and Odairisama is a great activity idea for kids.

Hina dolls you can make just by cutting and pasting

Origami, but you just stick it on?! ✨ Hinamatsuri craft 🎎 #shorts #childcare #crafts

Attach a light orange origami paper, representing the face, onto a black origami paper representing the hair, offset at a 90-degree angle.

Fold the overlapping corners of the papers to the back to complete the hina doll’s face.

Next, on the lower half of the origami, paste a washi-patterned origami cut to 1/2 size to represent the kimono.

Cut the same patterned origami into 1/4 to make two squares, layer them with red origami slightly offset, and paste them together.

Attach these to both lower corners beneath the face origami to finish.

Draw the face with a pen to complete it.

A fan made from a single sheet of origami paper

[Made with a single sheet of origami] Easy and beautiful “Fan” folding method ◇ Origami How to make a Fan New Year’s decoration Hinamatsuri ◇

In this idea, the step of making creases is important.

First, fold the origami in half, then use that crease to make finer creases.

Next, cut the origami with scissors at the designated sections.

Add more creases to the remaining part and shape it into a fan.

The key point is to connect the corners of the creases and make diagonal folds.

By folding diagonally, the square origami will ultimately transform into a fan shape.

The folded-back white part will be the handle.

Let’s proceed carefully, step by step.

Cherry blossoms made with newspaper stamps

Let’s make use of familiar materials! I’ll show you an idea for creating cherry blossoms using a newspaper stamp.

You’ll need drawing paper, crayons, newspaper, paint, and a paper plate.

First, use crayons to draw the cherry tree trunk on the drawing paper.

Next, put some paint on the paper plate.

A single color looks nice, but I recommend using two colors so you can enjoy the way they blend.

Finally, pick up some paint with a crumpled piece of newspaper and dab it onto the paper—stamp, stamp—and you’ll have a tree full of cherry blossoms!

Cherry blossom petals made with coffee filters

Color with water-based markers! Let me show you how to make cherry blossom petals using coffee filters.

You’ll need white coffee filters, water-based markers, scissors, a spray bottle, and old paper like newspaper.

First, color the coffee filter with the water-based markers.

You can draw spirals, or straight lines vertically or horizontally.

Using 2–3 colors of markers lets you enjoy the blended effect! Next, spray the coffee filter with water.

Finally, once it’s dry, cut the coffee filter into petal shapes and you’re done.
