[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.
Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
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.

Dandelions made with stamps

Easy yet wonderfully eye-catching! Let’s make dandelion flowers using a stamp! The process is very simple.

Prepare a toilet paper roll and make lots of slits on one end.

Add many fine cuts while imagining dandelion petals.

Fold the cut sections outward, and your stamp is ready! Draw the dandelion stems and leaves on a sheet of construction paper as the base, then dip the toilet paper roll stamp in yellow paint and start stamping on top.

The toilet paper roll stamp is large and easy to grip, so even very young children can enjoy it.

It’s a great craft that uses familiar recycled materials, so give it a try!

Let's try painting with cotton swabs

Making dandelions with children

This is a dandelion decoration made by pressing cotton swabs like stamps.

All you need is a bundle of cotton swabs secured with a rubber band and some colorful paints to get started.

There’s no cutting and pasting paper—kids simply draw their favorite illustrations using cotton swabs, so they can work on it with confidence.

Once the petals are finished, it’s also a good idea to draw the stem and leaves using colored pencils, etc.

Try making vibrant dandelion decorations with fine patterns together with the children.
