[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.

Here are some bulletin board ideas for childcare, themed around dandelions—perfect for spring!

There are ideas using a variety of materials, so be sure to try incorporating them into your classroom.

Draw or paste bright yellow dandelions and create artwork together with the children.

They’ll feel the spirit of spring, and you can also convey the message, “Grow up healthy!”

They’re easy to do, so give them a try.

Make fun spring memories together with the children.

[Colored Construction Paper] Dandelion

[Easy Craft with Drawing Paper & Origami] I Tried Making a Dandelion Wall Decoration! Free Template Spring Childcare Elderly Care

[Colored Construction Paper] Dandelion

A wall decoration of dandelions in bright yellow that instantly catches the eye.

Dandelions have many fine petals, which can make them time-consuming to craft.

So how about creating a wall display that expresses large dandelion shapes using colored construction paper instead? If you give the petals a two-tone gradient, it conveys the texture and feel of the flower more effectively.

Slightly stylized dandelions look vibrant and striking.

And don’t forget to make the fluffy dandelion seed heads as well.

Adding those feathery seed heads beside the flowers—so inviting you’ll want to blow on them—will make for a visually impressive wall display.

Dandelions blooming in the meadow and rabbits joyfully hopping around them are perfect for a spring wall display.

The rabbits are made by combining round pieces.

The Mole and the Dandelion

[Easy craft with drawing paper & origami] I tried making a mole wall decoration! Free template, mole, spring

The Mole and the Dandelion

Let’s emphasize the vibrancy and exhilaration of dandelions peeking out from the ground in the warm spring by adding a mole.

Imagine a mole popping its head out of freshly dug soil; by layering in the order of the original ground, the mole’s body, and then the disturbed soil on top, you can create a sense of depth.

The mole’s expression is also crucial.

Showing a smiling mole beside the dandelions evokes the joyful atmosphere of spring.

Pay attention to the size balance between the mole and the dandelions as well.

If you want the dandelions to be the star, it’s best to place the mole on the smaller side.

Dandelions with stamping

I painted dandelions using toilet paper rolls and cotton swabs — a simple, fun spring wall display with stamping. ❤︎ dandelion/painting ❤︎ #634

Dandelions with stamping

A wall decoration using stamping that lets you enjoy the sensation of pressing stamps onto drawing paper.

Prepare a toilet paper roll and make fine cuts along one end.

Then simply apply paint to the cut surface to create dandelion petals.

Using the round end of the roll or adding patterns with cotton swabs will give the piece a more polished look.

After you’ve made the petals, you can also add leaf parts or illustrations of fluffy seeds.

You’ll end up with a gentle, airy dandelion wall decoration.

Paper and yarn garland

Paper and yarn garland

Decorate with yarn dandelions and bring a touch of spring to your room! Wrap yellow or white yarn around four fingers, slide the bundle off gently, and tie the center with a short piece of yarn.

Snip the loops on both the top and bottom, then trim and fluff it into a round dandelion shape to finish.

Make leaves from construction paper and attach them to the dandelion with glue.

If you insert the leaves slightly into the dandelion as you glue, it will look more realistic.

They’re cute on walls or hallway displays, and also charming when hung as decorations.
