[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.

The Emperor doll and the Empress doll

[Easy Crafts with Construction Paper & Origami] I tried making a Hina Matsuri wall decoration of the Emperor and Empress! Free template | March | Spring

The Emperor doll and the Empress doll

These are the Emperor and Empress dolls with gentle faces that bring a sense of calm when you look at them.

Let’s decorate the classroom walls and get ready for Hinamatsuri.

Prepare parts like the faces, hair, and kimono by cutting colored construction paper, then assemble and glue them together.

It might be fun to let the children draw the faces freely and display a row of unique hina dolls on the wall.

Now that chances to see five-tiered or seven-tiered displays are decreasing, it could be nice to decorate the wall with the three court ladies and five musicians as well, and share stories related to hina dolls.

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!

Let's make tulips with tissue paper!

Tulips made from flower paper

Cute tulips with a gentle, calm vibe! Here are some ideas for making tulips with flower paper.

Flower paper is a material often used in crafts; it has a soft, delicate texture and comes in a wide range of colors.

It’s lightweight and easy to work with, so kids can make things without needing much strength.

What you’ll need: flower paper, wire, double-sided tape, scissors, green masking tape, and a straw.

Take this opportunity to give it a try!

Torn-paper cherry blossoms

[Craft Idea] Sakura - Cherry blossom crafts (April, spring) (torn-paper art) (3D) (activities for seniors) (preschool/educational) (wall decorations) (creative) (easy crafts) (spring flowers) (flower crafts) (DIY)

Torn-paper cherry blossoms

Let me introduce a torn-paper collage of cherry blossoms that captures the warm feeling of spring.

Get your materials ready: origami paper, construction paper, colored pencils, scissors, glue, and double-sided tape.

First, make a draft, cut out the cherry blossoms, and start sticking torn pieces of origami onto them.

The key is to place the pieces so there are no gaps.

If you glue cherry blossom-shaped origami cutouts on top of the collage, it might create a more three-dimensional look.

Once you attach the cherry blossom trunk, it’s complete! Cutting additional origami into cherry blossom shapes and decorating around it will make it even more vibrant.
