Puffy tulip wall decor
When children see these cute, puffy tulip wall decorations, they might just want to poke them! Fold a square of origami paper in half, then fold it in half again, and fold it into a triangle.
Draw a teardrop shape and cut along the outline to get four petal pieces.
On the non-pointed side of each piece, make a slit and overlap the edges by about 1 cm, gluing them to create a plump, three-dimensional shape.
Then, layer the pieces while imagining the shape of a tulip to complete the flower.
Make the leaves and stem from origami paper as well, and decorate the wall.
Tulips made with teardrop-shaped stamps
Here’s how to make tulips using a teardrop-shaped stamp.
Prepare a plastic bottle cap, sponge sheet, cardboard, paint, drawing paper, tissue paper (for crafts), and crayons.
Cut the cardboard and sponge sheet into teardrop shapes and stick them together with double-sided tape.
Glue the caps together to make a handle for the stamp, then attach it firmly to the teardrop so it won’t come off.
Dip the teardrop stamp in paint and start stamping.
Stamp three times to complete the tulip shape.
Try changing the angle to make cute tulips!
Tulips made with a bleeding/blending technique
Here’s a wall decoration of tulips made by letting colors bleed on kitchen paper to create vibrant effects.
Prepare construction paper, kitchen paper, paints, scissors, and glue.
Lightly dilute the paint and apply it to the kitchen paper, letting it blend in.
Once the paint is dry, cut the paper into teardrop shapes.
Cut the construction paper into teardrops of the same size.
Glue the kitchen paper and construction paper teardrops together to form tulips, and you’re done.
Give it a try—these softly blurred colors make beautifully delicate tulips!

Tulips Made with Swipe Art
Let me introduce tulips made with swipe art featuring beautiful patterns.
Prepare paints, a sponge, construction paper, crayons, and round stickers, and let’s get started.
Drip about three colors of paint vertically onto the construction paper.
Use the sponge to swipe the dripped paint horizontally.
By swiping across several times, the colors will blend and create enjoyable patterns.
Cut the paper into a tulip shape and glue it onto a backing sheet, draw the stem, add leaves using round stickers, and you’re done! It makes a great wall display where you can enjoy the color transitions, so give it a try.
Tulip Train
Let me introduce the Tulip Train, where spring tulips transform into a train.
Get construction paper, origami paper, crayons, scissors, and glue, and let’s get crafting.
First, cut the construction paper into tulip shapes to make the base.
Then glue pieces of origami paper onto the tulips.
Cut out leaves, wheels, and animals, and attach each part to the tulip.
When you connect the tulip trains the children made, you might see each one showing a different expression of the train.
Tulips made with handprints
We’d like to introduce a tulip wall display made with handprints that will be a lovely keepsake of children’s growth.
Prepare construction paper, green paint, brushes, and a palette.
Cut out the flower and stem parts from construction paper, then glue them onto a background sheet.
Apply paint thinned with a little water to the children’s palms and press their handprints onto the stem area of the tulips.
The key is to press quickly when making the handprints.
Make sure to prepare everything thoroughly in advance so the activity goes smoothly.
The tulip leaves will turn into adorable handprints.
If you like, add paper cutouts shaped like butterflies for a charming, springtime wall display.
Tulip made by gluing origami pieces
Here’s how to make a tulip by tearing and pasting origami paper.
Gather origami paper, construction paper, crayons, glue, and scissors.
Tear the origami paper by hand or cut it with scissors to create small shapes.
Glue the pieces onto the construction paper, trying to place them so there are as few gaps as possible.
Arrange and glue together pieces with similar patterns and colors so they are close to each other, then cut them into the shape of a tulip and paste it onto the backing paper.
Finish by drawing the stem, leaves, and other details around it with crayons.
