[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.

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.

Honeybees and a flower field

Honeybees and a flower field

Shall we make a spring-themed wall decoration of a flower field with bees flying overhead? First, create a template, place it on yellow origami paper, and make the bee’s body.

Draw the black stripes and face with a black colored pencil or felt-tip pen.

Use the template to make the wings all at once as well.

For the flowers, fold the paper into a circle shape and cut; to add a three-dimensional look, use a pencil to gently curl them.

Vary the cutting style and colors for different flowers to create a rich, varied flower field.

Arrange and glue everything neatly onto a colored construction-paper backing to finish.

Animals & Flowers

Seasonal wall decorations. This time, we’re introducing the March “spring” wall display.

Animals & Flowers

This wall decoration featuring a lively collaboration between energetic animals and spring flowers is absolutely adorable! From a pig frolicking in a flower field, to a bear taking a comfy nap in a clover patch, to a dog happily picking strawberries, it’s the kind of display that makes children want to reach out and say, “So cute!” With a setup like this, time spent in nurseries and kindergartens will feel richer and more fun.

There are plenty of free downloadable materials for animals and flowers, so even teachers who aren’t confident in drawing can create charming decorations.

Try making them while imagining the children’s smiling faces!

cherry blossom

Easy cherry blossom decoration made with tissue paper (with audio commentary)

cherry blossom

Let’s use soft crepe tissue paper to make a cherry blossom wall decoration! Stack about three sheets of tissue paper and accordion-fold them, then tie the center with a vinyl string.

The vinyl string will serve as the stamens, so trim it to even lengths and split the ends.

Round off the corners of the tissue paper with scissors, then gently open it up to create a fluffy cherry blossom.

Because cutting with scissors and spreading the petals are delicate tasks, have students do them in small groups.

After that, simply arrange the blossoms in a balanced way on a trunk and branches made from brown construction paper.

With the wall full of cherry blossoms in full bloom, the classroom will be filled with spring colors, and everyone will look forward to the arrival of spring even more.

Sakura made of yarn

No knitting! Cherry blossoms made with yarn 🌸

Sakura made of yarn

Here’s an idea for making yarn cherry blossoms without knitting.

First, prepare white and red yarn and a template shaped like the letter “凸.” The template should have slits at the tips.

For detailed measurements, refer to various websites or homepages.

Then follow the steps to wrap the yarn around the template and form the cherry blossom petals.

Since you’ll be gluing the pieces together, there’s no need to knit.

Even people unfamiliar with knitting can try this easily.

If it doesn’t come out well, I recommend adjusting the size of the thick paper template.

bouquet

[Easy craft with construction paper and origami] I made a bouquet wall decoration! Free templates | Entrance and graduation ceremonies | March, April, Spring

bouquet

A bouquet wall decoration is perfect for spring, when celebrations like graduation from kindergarten and new enrollments follow one after another! First, prepare flower parts made from colored construction paper, varying the number and shape of petals as well as the colors and sizes.

Next, attach the flowers you made to the base part of the bouquet—including the wrapping—while keeping the overall balance in mind.

Finally, add a ribbon in the center to complete the bouquet.

It’s especially ideal for the classroom of the oldest kids who are about to graduate! How about decorating the room with a bouquet to express your gratitude for “all the wonderful smiles”?

Balloons and butterflies

Easy spring/March wall decorations! Create two types for a gorgeous display (Nursery/Kindergarten)

Balloons and butterflies

A festive wall decoration of balloons and flowers that’s perfect for March as we wrap up the school year! Cut small pieces of washi paper and add patterns by dripping paint or brushing on color quickly.

This step is great for the kids to do themselves! Once the washi paper dries, cut it into flower shapes and stick them onto a backing sheet to finish.

For the balloons, simply attach pipe cleaners (to look like strings) to cardstock cut into balloon shapes.

Draw wishes or future dreams in the center and decorate the wall.

You can also have the children write what they want to be able to do next school year!

butterfly

[Craft Idea] Butterfly crafts (March/April spring) (origami) (senior recreation) (childcare/early learning) (wall decorations) (creative) (easy)

butterfly

The fluttering butterfly decorations around the flowers pair perfectly with other spring motifs like rapeseed blossoms and tulips! Cut your favorite colors and patterns of origami paper into three butterfly sizes—large, medium, and small—and add diagonal creases to the medium and small butterflies.

Make the body and antennae from different origami paper, and draw a face on the body.

Finally, layer and glue the large, medium, and small butterflies together, attach the body and antennae, and you’ll have a beautiful butterfly with a lovely, dimensional overlap of wings!
