[Childcare] Perfect for spring! Dandelion wall decorations

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Finally, add antennae with pipe cleaners to finish.

Display it together with dandelions made from yellow and green construction paper to feel the arrival of spring.

Three-dimensional dandelion

It looks just like the real thing! Here’s an idea for making a 3D dandelion.

You’ll need yellow origami paper, yellow-green origami paper, green origami paper, pink origami paper, scissors, and craft glue.

First, connect strips of yellow origami paper that you’ve cut into long, narrow pieces.

Make 1 mm-wide fringe cuts, then roll it up while applying craft glue; once it’s rolled, the dandelion flower is complete.

After making the stem and leaves with green origami paper, create a frame with the pink origami paper.

If you add some curves and motion to the stem and leaves, it will look even more like a real dandelion.

Would you like to make a strip-style decoration that captures the warm image of dandelions? This idea uses a tanzaku (poem strip) as the base, onto which you attach dandelions folded from origami.

Dandelions and clover

Origami Easy! How to Fold a Four-Leaf Clover Step by Step [Tutorial]

Dandelions and clover

How about trying to fold a dandelion and a four-leaf clover as a set? Four-leaf clovers are not only cute in appearance but are also cherished as symbols of good luck.

They can instantly brighten your mood, and displaying them in your room or wearing them is considered auspicious.

Also, since dandelions are mainly yellow, they pair nicely with four-leaf clovers in terms of color.

You could make several of each and combine them, too.

Enjoy a fun time with origami.
