[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.

Perfect for walls! A butterfly craft that makes paint play fun

Cut an A4 sheet of drawing paper into the shape of a butterfly, then apply paint on just one side.

Once you’re ready, fold it in half and lift the wing—your design will have transferred beautifully to the other side! You can also enjoy the excitement of seeing what pattern appears the moment you open it.

After that, attach the wings to another A4 sheet for the background, and stick a photo of your child in the center.

You’ll have a one-of-a-kind, adorable butterfly! It will look very spring-like on a wall display and become a wonderful, memorable piece.

♪ Original Song – Craft Ideas for Childcare ♪ Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Here’s a gentle and fun craft that lets you enjoy a springlike atmosphere.

Cut construction paper into the shape of a tulip to make a base.

Next, prepare felt in your favorite colors and cut it into circles, squares, or any sizes and shapes you like.

Once you’re ready, stick the felt pieces onto the tulip base to decorate.

If you start with the larger felt pieces, it’s easier to keep things balanced and to place them.

By decorating freely, you’ll create a colorful and cute tulip.

Finally, glue on a stem and leaves made from construction paper to finish.

Let them freely add color with crayons.

Then decorate with round stickers and the like, have an adult cut it into a tulip shape, and paste it onto a backing sheet.

[Using only a straw] Let’s draw cherry blossoms♪ Just stamp them—simple and cute

Let's draw cherry blossoms using only a straw!

Make five evenly spaced cuts on one side of a straw, then spread that section out into a flower shape.

After that, just dip it in pink paint and stamp it to create a cherry blossom tree.

Beforehand, stick a trunk made from construction paper onto the backing sheet, and have the children stamp over it.

You can stamp to clearly show the flower shape, or layer the stamps to express a tree in full bloom.

After pressing the stamp onto the backing sheet, move the handle in a circular motion as it is.

That will create a clean flower shape!
