Perfect for spring: Wall display ideas with a horsetail motif you’ll want to make in March!
How about incorporating a cute horsetail (tsukushi) motif into your wall display?
If you make lots of horsetails using various materials like origami, construction paper, or cardboard and decorate the wall, you’ll have a field of tsukushi in no time.
It will instantly give the nursery a spring-like atmosphere.
We’re also introducing motifs that can be displayed together.
With the teachers’ sense of style, you can arrange them in many ways, and it would be fun for several people to make motifs and combine them.
Create a wall display filled with the excitement of welcoming spring.

Cute little horsetail with bubbly texture
I also recommend making “bubble wrap horsetails,” which you can create using only items from a 100-yen shop like bubble wrap, colored construction paper, glue, and pens! First, cut a circle out of beige construction paper with scissors, and stick bubble wrap onto it so it fits snugly.
Next, use brown and green construction paper to make the root and leaf pieces.
Finally, attach the three parts together and you’re done.
Since the face part uses bubble wrap, it gives the display a unique, three-dimensional look.
Make lots of them and enjoy a spring atmosphere.
A collection of spring motifs! Vibrant wall display
How about a wall decoration filled with lots of spring motifs that will delight children with its bright, festive look? The process is very simple: cut out papers in various colors to create each motif—horsetails, tulips, dandelions, moles, and more.
Finally, stick them onto a single board and you’re done! You can even have the children help with attaching the pieces.
A wall covered with these varied motifs will bring a cheerful, spring-like feeling.
Rabbits and horsetail
Rabbits are popular animals among children, aren’t they? How about a craft that combines a rabbit motif with horsetail plants? You’ll need dark pink, light pink, brown, beige, and green construction paper.
First, make the face and ears from the dark pink paper, then attach light pink paper to the inside of the ears.
Next, cut the brown, beige, and green papers and glue them together to form the shape of a horsetail.
Finally, glue the horsetail near the rabbit’s feet, and you’re done!

Looking for horsetail shoots on a walk
For children, walks where they can feel nature are a lot of fun.
In particular, creating wallpaper featuring horsetails and then heading out for a spring-themed stroll is a highly recommended activity! You can make horsetail wallpaper by cutting colored construction paper—brown, orange, yellow, etc.—into parts with scissors and gluing them together.
Try it with teacher support as needed.
And during the walk, let’s look together not only for horsetails but also for other spring-related plants and flowers that might be blooming.
It would be wonderful if, through communication, the children make all sorts of discoveries!
Dandelions and Horsetails
These wall decorations of horsetails and dandelions let you feel the warm, gentle spring weather indoors.
Let’s make three-dimensional pieces that evoke real flowers and plants! Fold origami separately for the dandelion’s flower, stem, and leaves, then connect them to assemble.
When making the horsetails, vary the length and thickness to capture a natural, lifelike look.
Add illustrations of grass, attach everything to a base, and your wall decoration is complete.
It’s also nice to display it with a spring-themed message.
Try creating these decorations with children and enjoy the arrival of spring together.
Horsetail and Ladybug
Decorations featuring ladybugs and horsetails—both familiar to children—are also recommended! First, cut red origami paper into a circle, then stick many small black paper circles on top to create the ladybug’s spots.
Next, use beige or yellow origami to make horsetails, and draw faces on both the ladybugs and horsetails with a pen to finish.
For a more polished look, you can cut and paste construction paper to make the facial features instead of using a pen.
It’s also fun to have the children draw the faces themselves to create a variety of unique ladybugs!
Renge and Horsetail
This decoration pairs with Chinese milk vetch, which blooms vivid pink flowers in spring.
You’ll make the vetch blossoms by cutting and pasting origami paper.
By adding random slits or layering origami with gradient colors, you can achieve beautiful color effects.
When making horsetails, the trick is to keep accordion folds in mind and create fine creases.
When arranging the finished items, it’s also best to consider the placement of flowers and foliage.
How about creating a decoration that evokes the arrival of spring and telling children the names and origins of the flowers?
