[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.

Tulips made with teardrop-shaped stamps

Here’s how to make tulips using a teardrop-shaped stamp.

Prepare a plastic bottle cap, sponge sheet, cardboard, paint, drawing paper, tissue paper (for crafts), and crayons.

Cut the cardboard and sponge sheet into teardrop shapes and stick them together with double-sided tape.

Glue the caps together to make a handle for the stamp, then attach it firmly to the teardrop so it won’t come off.

Dip the teardrop stamp in paint and start stamping.

Stamp three times to complete the tulip shape.

Try changing the angle to make cute tulips!

Tulips Made with Swipe Art

Let me introduce tulips made with swipe art featuring beautiful patterns.

Prepare paints, a sponge, construction paper, crayons, and round stickers, and let’s get started.

Drip about three colors of paint vertically onto the construction paper.

Use the sponge to swipe the dripped paint horizontally.

By swiping across several times, the colors will blend and create enjoyable patterns.

Cut the paper into a tulip shape and glue it onto a backing sheet, draw the stem, add leaves using round stickers, and you’re done! It makes a great wall display where you can enjoy the color transitions, so give it a try.

Drawing transforms into tulips!

Drawing transforms into tulips!

Introducing an original wall display where kids’ drawings transform into tulips.

Gather construction paper, crayons, glue, and scissors, and let’s get started.

Have the children draw freely on the construction paper.

Then cut the drawn paper into tulip flower and leaf pieces.

It’s also recommended to first cut the paper into flower and leaf shapes and then have the children draw on them.

Glue the tulip flowers onto a sheet where the stem and soil have already been attached, and it’s complete.

For children aged three and up, try letting them make the stem and soil parts too, according to their developmental stage.

Finish it off by drawing clouds and butterflies with crayons or making them from construction paper and gluing them on!

Origami: Little Bird (Spring Wall Decoration)

small bird

Let’s make and decorate together with the kids! Here are some little bird ideas.

After making a small bird out of origami, try arranging it into a wreath.

You’ll need light green origami paper, a paper plate, chenille stems (pipe cleaners), dark brown and brown origami paper, red-toned and white origami paper, round yellow stickers, glue, a pen, an awl, tape, scissors, and a craft knife.

If you draw a smiling face on the little bird with a pen, it can make children who are starting nursery or moving up a grade feel more at ease.

Be sure to give it a try!

A frame-style wall decoration made with real cherry blossom petals

Let’s make a collage using real cherry blossom petals.

First, draw a tree trunk on a square, board-like piece of cardboard and cut it out as a silhouette.

Then attach clear film to both the front and back, and arrange the collected cherry blossom petals sandwiched between the films.

This way, it will look as if cherry blossoms are truly blooming from the cardboard trunk.

A palm-sized, portable version is great, and creating a larger, more dramatic piece also sounds fun.

Place the petals wherever you like and make a one-of-a-kind collage.
