[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.

Easter egg

Easter egg

How about making Easter eggs to celebrate Easter, the holiday that welcomes spring? First, prepare egg shapes drawn on pastel-colored construction paper, such as cream, light blue, or pale pink.

Next, freely apply masking tape to them—this is a great task for children.

They can tear the tape into short pieces, stick it vertically or horizontally, and let it hang over the edges—anything goes.

Once the surface is covered without gaps, carefully cut along the egg outline with scissors.

When you put them on the wall, adding carrot and bunny decorations will make it feel more like Easter and look wonderful!

Rainbow balloon made with looped paper chains

[Rainbow] Origami “Rainbow Balloon” 3D Decoration, Wall Decoration, Preschool Craft, Elderly Care Recreation — Rainbow balloon made of origami (DIY) Rainbow decoration

Rainbow balloon made with looped paper chains

Let me introduce a perfect springtime wall display idea: the “Rainbow Balloon”! This is a craft made with paper chains that kids are already familiar with.

Prepare seven colors of construction paper or origami paper and cut them into strips.

Adjust the length of the paper chains to match the size of your balloon.

The balloon itself is made from construction paper; a light color may be best so the rainbow stands out.

Once you’ve prepared the balloon parts and rainbow parts, stick them onto the wall.

Arrange the rainbow with good balance.

Besides the standard balloon shape, heart, star, or animal-shaped balloons would also be adorable.

[No Pattern Needed! Time-Saving! Wall Decorations] Let’s Make a Ladybug! ~Together with the Bunny~

ladybug

Ladybugs are often seen around flowers from winter to spring.

Because they also appear in picture books, many children love ladybugs and think they’re cute, even if they’re not fond of insects.

A ladybug wall decoration can be made in no time by layering a semicircle cut from red construction paper onto a round piece of brown construction paper, then adding a small round head piece and a small right-angled rectangular piece.

Draw the ladybug’s signature polka dots and decorate together with flowers.

[Easy Craft with Construction Paper & Origami] I Tried Making Hinamatsuri Peach Blossom Wall Decorations! Free Template | March | Spring

peach blossoms

When it comes to March’s big event, Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day), the quintessential flower is the peach blossom, with its charming rounded petals! Cut pink or red construction paper into flower shapes, then attach small round pieces—punched out with a hole punch—to the center to complete your peach blossoms.

After displaying them alongside Hina doll wall decorations, you can simply roll them into a spring flower-field theme as well.

If you add rapeseed flowers and butterflies fluttering around the blooms, the classroom will be filled with a springtime atmosphere.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

A wall decoration inspired by everyone’s favorite picture book character, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is colorful, cute, and perfect for spring.

First, cut circles out of green and light-green construction paper for the body, and red for the head, then layer and glue them together.

Add black antennae and yellow eyes, and your vivid, eye-catching little caterpillar is complete.

On the wall, stick on a big tree, leaves, and fruits that appear in the book to create a lively forest filled with lots of caterpillars.

It’s even more fun if the children help with the sticking part!

Honey and Clover

Here’s a wall decoration idea featuring clovers that start blooming around March and ladybugs that herald the arrival of spring.

Most clovers you see are three-leafed, but it’s said that finding a four-leaf clover brings good luck.

If you’re making a clover-themed wall, it could be fun to include one or two four-leaf clovers as a surprise! Ladybugs in red or yellow would go well with the green clovers.

If you’re creating this for childcare settings, it might be cute to have the children make themselves as ladybugs!

Tulips made with quilling

Enjoy a special feel with curly patterns! Here are some tulip ideas you can make with quilling.

These are recommended for those who are tired of flat wall decorations or want to create tulips with a touch of humor.

Quilling is an art technique where you roll and bend thin strips of paper to create three-dimensional designs and patterns.

Cut paper into long, thin strips, roll them up, and shape them.

By combining designs like tulip flowers, butterflies, and leaves, you can create a striking wall display.
