[Childcare] Recommended crafts and activities for March, such as Hina Matsuri (Doll’s Festival) and cherry blossoms

March, when you can feel spring arriving.

The warm, sunny spring weather naturally lifts the spirits, doesn’t it?

This time, we’ve gathered recommended craft ideas perfect for March.

From events like Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day) and graduation ceremonies to seasonal themes such as cherry blossoms, butterflies, and strawberries, there are plenty of ideas that capture the feeling of spring!

Before you start making things, we recommend going on a walk with the children to see and touch the charming spring plants and insects unique to the season.

It will surely expand their image of spring and help them create wonderful works!

Display what you make around the room and fully enjoy the spring atmosphere.

Because items made by children are treated as “works,” we refer to them as “seisaku (制作)” in the text.

Cherry-blossom viewing craft

Speaking of spring, it’s the perfect season to enjoy cherry blossom viewing.

Here’s a fun craft for hanami using paper plates and tissues.

Prepare tissues, paint, tissue paper, paper plates, construction paper, and glue.

Stick torn pieces of tissue paper in the center of the paper plate to create volume, then glue tissues around the edges.

Add paint to the tissues to instantly create a cherry-blossom vibe.

Finish by placing a photo of a favorite animal or a child in the center! You can also change the background colors to your liking for a more original look.

Easter wreath

Here’s how to make an Easter wreath using a paper plate.

Prepare a paper plate, yarn, glue, scissors, round stickers, and construction paper.

Cut out the center of the paper plate to create the wreath base.

Cut construction paper into egg shapes and glue them onto the plate to form the wreath.

Using colorful egg cutouts will give it a stronger Easter feel.

Attach chicks and bunnies to the yarn and add a loop for hanging, and you’re done.

Making an Easter wreath is a great way to liven up April festivities.

Let’s paint using the delicate motion of watercolor! Here are some ideas for creating cherry blossoms with the spattering technique.

You’ll need drawing paper, a paper stencil cut into a cherry blossom shape, a blending mesh (screen), a toothbrush, and paint thinned with water.

Spattering is great because you can depict your motif without using pens or crayons.

No two large or small paint splashes are ever the same, so each person’s individuality will shine! Give the spattering technique a try and paint beautiful cherry blossoms.

When decorating, it’s also lovely to display the children’s photos next to the cherry blossoms.

Just looking at it is enough to make you excited!
