[Childcare] Ideas for March wall decorations
Here are some ideas for March wall decorations that are useful in childcare settings.
March is packed with end-of-year events—Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day), farewell field trips, graduation, and preparations for moving up or starting school—so it’s easy to wonder what kind of wall displays to make and when to find the time.
The ideas introduced here focus on decorations that can be displayed as complete wall pieces or used as parts.
If you work on them little by little in your spare moments and put them up, your room will not only look more vibrant, but just seeing them will lift everyone’s spirits!
As the weather gradually warms, enjoy creating colorful wall displays to match the season.
[Childcare] March wall decoration ideas (1–10)
Fluffy Balloon Sakura
March marks the end of the fiscal year and is also a month for celebrating new beginnings.
Here’s a perfect idea for March: hot-air-balloon cherry blossoms.
Prepare several strips of warm-colored construction paper cut lengthwise, then gently paste them on the wall in a rounded shape to form a balloon.
Scatter cherry blossoms and leaves in the gaps, add a basket and strings, and you’re done! If you place animals or people in the basket and decorate the area with children’s self-portraits or photos, you’ll have a wonderfully festive wall display.
Let’s celebrate new beginnings with a cute hot-air-balloon cherry blossom wall decoration!
Plum Blossoms and Bush Warbler
This is a three-dimensional wall decoration featuring plum blossoms in full bloom—bright and elegant even in chilly March—and bush warblers that herald the arrival of spring.
Cut plum blossom shapes from construction paper, gently curl them with a thin stick to add roundness, and attach stamens made by finely cutting yellow paper to the centers.
For the bush warbler, layer light green and white construction paper cut into teardrop shapes to form the body, add a yellow beak, and draw the eyes.
Since assembling the 3D pieces can be tricky for small hands, adults should help.
Finally, attach the plum blossoms and warblers to brown construction paper cut to resemble a tree trunk, arranging them in a balanced composition—and you’re done! Seeing the cute warblers might even make the kids say, “Let’s go find them at the park!”
Dandelion flowers and butterflies
Let us introduce a wall decoration of dandelions and butterflies that will make you look forward to spring.
The dandelions are made from yarn.
Wrap the yarn around and around to create fluffy yarn pom-poms.
Make the leaves from construction paper.
For the butterflies, fold your favorite origami paper in half, draw a butterfly shape, and cut it out.
When you open it, you’ll have an adorable, symmetrical butterfly.
If you attach the butterflies vertically with string or fishing line and hang them as a mobile, they’ll sway in the breeze and look very cute!
clover
When spring comes, clover spreads across the fields.
The four-leaf clover, a symbol of luck and love, is perfect for wall decorations, too.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle with the green side facing inward.
As with the crane, open the pocket and flatten it into a square.
Fold the bottom corner up to the center, then fold upward where the creases intersect.
While pinching the center, open it and fold the middle inward.
After that, fold each section back while slightly overlapping them to shape the leaves, and it’s done.
Adding butterflies or flowers alongside makes it feel even more like spring.
Peach Blossom and Hina Doll Wreath
This is a wreath that’s perfect for Hinamatsuri and easy to make using a paper plate as the base! Cut out the center of the paper plate and wrap cellophane ribbon (suzuran tape) around the rim to create the wreath base.
Stick origami cut into peach blossom shapes onto it, and hang the Emperor and Empress dolls—made by gluing together pieces of origami—from the back so they sit in the center of the wreath.
Your cute Hinamatsuri wreath is complete.
Adults should handle cutting out the paper plate and preparing the small parts.
After Hinamatsuri, swap the central dolls for spring-themed motifs like a bush warbler or butterflies so you can keep the wreath on display for longer.
A balloon visible from the window
Make it with origami! Here’s how to create a spring-like wall display featuring hot air balloons seen through a window.
First, prepare a balloon template.
Next, place the origami paper face up and fold it into a square twice.
Fold the front layer back in half.
Flip it over and fold the same way.
Align the template with the origami creases, cut along them, and make the balloon pieces.
Each balloon uses six pieces, so you can make two balloons from three sheets of origami paper.
Glue the balloon pieces together with wood glue and assemble them.
Then, use quarter-size origami to make the lower part of the balloon.
Make a wreath out of origami, and glue a light blue sheet in the center of the wreath with wood glue.
Finally, attach the balloons and clouds, and you’re done! If you use masking tape to stick them on, you can easily swap them out each season, which is highly recommended.
Rainbow Dove
Let me introduce rainbow doves that are perfect for March wall decorations.
Fold a sheet of origami paper into a triangle, let the tip stick out slightly, and fold it in half.
The section where you fold the whole piece in half will be the center of the dove’s body, so make sure the corners line up precisely.
Change the direction of the head, offset and fold the left and right wings, then make an inside reverse fold at the tip for the beak to finish.
If you make doves with seven-colored origami and arrange them like a rainbow, you’ll have rainbow doves.
When everyone makes rainbow doves together, you’ll complete a lovely March-themed wall display.
