[Nursery/Daycare] Ocean wall display, summer sea, sea creatures

Fish made with paper plates

Here’s a paper-plate fish craft idea that lets you enjoy a hallway or classroom that feels like an aquarium.

All you need are paper plates, doilies, and origami paper.

First, use the paper plate as the fish’s body and create the eyes and mouth with origami paper.

Next, cut the doily to make the dorsal fin and tail fin.

You can also substitute fruit netting for the dorsal and tail fins.

This gives it a look somewhat like a tropical fish.

Even this alone creates an ocean vibe, but making seaweed out of raffia tape (Suzuran tape) will enhance the underwater feel even more.

A sea picture made with stamps

Drawing: Let's Paint the Ocean ♪ [kids play]

Combine different stamps to create the ocean! Prepare a sheet of drawing paper with a basic ocean scene or use blue construction paper, then start stamping on top.

For stamps, you can use dabbers, eraser stamps, any store-bought stamps, or even handprints, footprints, and fingers.

By getting creative with how you stamp and combine them, you can depict sea creatures, seaweed, and more.

It’s fine to just press stamps freely, so even younger children can enjoy it easily.

Display the children’s originality-filled artworks in your room and immerse yourselves in an ocean world.

Let’s try making a big ocean!

“Paint Play!” [Ages 0–2] | Gakuenchō Yūiku-en [Nursery/Kindergarten Event]

Let’s experience the joy of painting a big ocean on a large sheet of drawing paper using plenty of paint.

Lay down a plastic sheet or something similar to protect the floor, and wear clothes that can get messy so you can paint freely and boldly without worry.

There are no strict rules—use your hands, brushes, rollers, or wide brushes however you like.

Part of the fun is trying different tools; the result changes depending on what you use.

Savor the joy of creating freely.

Let’s make sea creatures out of scrap materials

[5-year-olds] Let the children’s imaginations run wild! Let’s make sea creatures out of scrap materials!

Crafts made from recycled materials are a great way for kids to casually engage with eco-friendly practices and the SDGs! Try combining everyday recycled items—like empty tissue or snack boxes, gashapon capsules, cardboard, and wrapping paper—to create sea creatures.

An empty box can transform into a big fish, and wrapping paper can become beautiful fish scales—there are countless ways to use them.

Of course, you can also mix in construction paper or origami.

If everyone sticks their creations onto a large sheet of poster paper imagined as the sea, you can bring an ocean right into your room!

Underwater exploration by submarine

Many children may associate summer with the beach, but it’s not often that we get to take a good look at the scenery under the sea.

So how about creating a wall decoration that shows an underwater exploration in a submarine? Put cute animals or the children themselves aboard the submarine, and arrange lots of colorful fish and sea creatures around it.

For the fish patterns, we recommend adding cut-paper pieces, doing finger painting, or using stickers.

Let’s let the children enjoy the rare undersea views that they don’t often get to see!

Sea creatures made with paper chain links

Ocean-themed wall decor with paper chain rings for summer #shorts

Let’s use paper chains like the ones you see at birthday parties to make sea creatures! You can create animals using only paper chains, or use them as parts of your creations.

When used as parts, they can become the tentacles of octopuses, squids, or jellyfish, seaweed, or even fish scales.

By getting creative with how you link the loops, you can make starfish or shells using just paper chains, too.

Depending on the age group, it’s also a great idea to have the children help make the chains.

Penguin you can make with two sheets of origami paper

I will show you how to make a cute penguin that feels cool for summer.

Prepare two sheets of origami paper, round stickers, and glue, and let’s get started.

We’ll begin with the penguin’s face.

Take one sheet of origami and fold one corner by about one third.

Flip it over, then fold the left, right, and bottom edges to form the shape of the penguin’s face.

For the body, fold the left and right sides of the origami diagonally, flip it over, then fold up the tip of the bottom section to finish.

Attach the face and body together, then add the beak, eyes, and facial expression to create your cute penguin.
