[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.

Dandelion flowers and butterflies

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!

Great for wall displays too! Origami horsetails

Fold a sheet of origami paper that’s been cut in half vertically, leaving a small margin.

Fold each of the four corners inward to make an octagon.

Fold the other half of the origami paper in half vertically, then combine the two parts.

It’s cute to draw a face with round stickers or crayons and to make the collar part of the stem.

Displaying it together with March-perfect motifs like butterflies or ladybugs will add a touch of spring.

It’s fun and easy even for 4-year-olds, so why not include it in your craft time?

Cute Footprint! How to Make a Caterpillar

A craft that can be fondly looked back on as a wonderful memory when your child grows up: a Very Hungry Caterpillar made using footprints.

Paint the soles of the feet with paint and make four footprints on construction paper.

Once dry, cut them out and stick them onto a backing sheet along with a caterpillar face made from construction paper, and you’re done.

Decorating with round stickers as you like makes it extra cute.

Preserving those tiny footprints that exist only now will be a lovely memory for your child, as well as for caregivers and parents.

It’s also delightful to feel how much they’ve grown when you look back on it later.

Be sure to try making it together with your child.

Tear-and-enjoy! Butterfly decorations

[Spring Craft Recommendation] Easy for anyone♪ Butterfly wall decorations 🦋 #preschoolcrafts #nurseryteacher #teacherideas #traineenurseryteacher #teacherlife #withkids #origami #easycraft #springpreview

Tear-and-enjoy! Butterfly decorations

Let’s try making a cute butterfly decoration.

First, cut paper into the shape of a butterfly and paste it onto a backing sheet.

Then tear pieces of paper and stick them onto the wings to decorate.

Finally, attach the parts for the butterfly’s body and face, and you’re done.

It sounds fun to imagine what kinds of paper to tear, and the very sensation of tearing will be interesting too.

Once finished, it can also be used as a wall decoration.

Your room will be filled with a springtime atmosphere.

Origami four-leaf clover

How to Fold a Four-Leaf Clover: Spring Wall Display and Decorations [Origami]

Origami four-leaf clover

Let’s make a lucky four-leaf clover.

You’ll combine four sheets of origami to create it, but the folding itself is simple, so even children who aren’t used to origami should be able to do it.

Think of it as folding a heart-shaped origami four times.

Once it’s done, you can use it as a wall decoration or paste it onto construction paper as part of a picture.

By the way, the key is to make crisp initial creases.

If they’re misaligned, the whole piece will end up distorted, so be careful.

Stamp play is fun! Cute flowers

Here’s a craft idea that uses a stamp made from bubble wrap to depict cherry blossoms.

Lightly sketch the outline of a cherry blossom on pale pink construction paper, and have the children stamp inside the outline.

It’s fine if they go over the lines—unneeded parts will be cut off later! Encourage them to enjoy expressing themselves as they recall cherry blossoms.

The cutting step can be left to the children as good scissor practice.

If you display the cherry blossoms everyone made on the wall, it’ll feel like you can have a cherry-blossom viewing party right in the room!

Bees can be scary, but kids are fascinated by beehives! So let’s make a beehive using bubble wrap, which is often used as cushioning material.

First, paint the bumpy side of the bubble wrap with paint.

Yellow and orange are recommended.

Once the paint is applied all over, stamp it onto white construction paper to transfer the pattern.

After the paint dries, cut the paper into multiple hexagons and paste them onto black construction paper to form a beehive.

Finally, stick on a bee made from construction paper—and it’s complete!
