[Childcare] Ideas for March wall decorations

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.
9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

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.

Hanging weeping cherry (branch)

Hanging weeping cherry (branch)

Great for events too! Let me share an idea for a hanging weeping cherry blossom decoration.

You’ll need a clear plastic umbrella, string, tape, glue, a stapler, scissors, pink tissue paper, and light pink tissue paper.

First, use the two colors of tissue paper to make cherry blossoms.

If you trim them into a forked shape with scissors, you can capture the characteristic look of cherry blossom petals! Next, glue the tissue paper blossoms onto the string.

Finally, tape them to the clear umbrella and you’re done.

It’s portable too, so give it a try!

Easy and cute March wall decoration with pattern: “Dandelion”

The dandelion wall decorations bring a warm sense of spring’s arrival.

Glue together yellow pieces cut to resemble the dandelion’s fine petals and green pieces cut in the shape of the involucre beneath the petals.

Once you’ve rounded the flower portion, attach it to the stem, add the leaves, and it’s done! If you decorate the wall with cute butterflies and honeybees fluttering around the flowers, spring will arrive in your classroom in no time.

After you’ve decorated the classroom, why not go on a walk to look for real dandelions?

Tissue-paper butterfly

Kimie Gangi’s spring wall display: super-easy tissue-paper “butterfly” with template included

Tissue-paper butterfly

Why not try making fluffy butterflies using soft tissue paper? If you use a template, you can easily make them in bulk.

Start by creating a butterfly template with dark-colored tissue paper.

Divide the tissue paper into six equal parts and cut out the template with scissors.

Once cut, stick it onto copier paper and make copies.

Stack several sheets of butterfly tissue paper on top of the copied paper, staple around the edges, and then cut them out along with the template.

After cutting, twist a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) around the center of the butterfly paper to finish.
