[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.

Let’s paint using the delicate motion of watercolor! Here are some ideas for creating cherry blossoms with the spattering technique.

You’ll need drawing paper, a paper stencil cut into a cherry blossom shape, a blending mesh (screen), a toothbrush, and paint thinned with water.

Spattering is great because you can depict your motif without using pens or crayons.

No two large or small paint splashes are ever the same, so each person’s individuality will shine! Give the spattering technique a try and paint beautiful cherry blossoms.

Let’s make memories together! Here are some hand-painted cherry blossom ideas.

You’ll need poster paper, paint, a roller, and scissors.

Spring is a season of meetings and farewells, so how about making cherry blossoms with the whole class? Paint the cherry tree trunk using a roller, and create the cherry blossom petals using the children’s handprints.

When decorating, it’s also lovely to display the children’s photos next to the cherry blossoms.

Just looking at it is enough to make you excited!

Cherry blossom tree made with plastic bags

@lion.sensei_hoiku
Just one plastic bag!! I never knew you could make such cute stamps like this 🦁 It might be nice to have everyone stamp on a big sheet of paper to make a large cherry blossom tree and display it 🌸Nursery teacher / Childcare worker Childcare student #Nursery school #Nursery School Craft #AtHomePlay work

Blow into it and make it! Let me show you how to create a cherry blossom tree using a plastic bag.

You’ll need construction paper, a plastic bag, paint, a cherry tree shape made from construction paper, and glue or double-sided tape.

First, tie the bottom of the plastic bag tightly, turn it inside out, then blow into it and tie it off.

Dab paint onto the plastic bag, which will be puffed up like a balloon, and stamp it onto the paper to make big cherry blossom petals! Attach the cherry tree cutout made from construction paper, and you’re done!

So soft and touchable! Here’s a felt cherry blossom tree you can make.

You’ll need pink felt, brown felt, buttons, thread, a needle, craft glue, and scissors.

Making it is a great chance to explore different materials! The charm of this craft is that the felt cherry blossoms with sewn-on buttons let you attach and remove petals as you play, which is sure to capture the interest of infants—highly recommended! It’s best for teachers or caregivers to handle the steps that use needles and thread.

Puchi-puchi butterfly

As spring arrives, you start seeing more butterflies in the playground, don’t you? Let’s make springtime butterflies using cushioning material—bubble wrap! We’ll use bubble wrap to create the wings.

Cut the bubble wrap into a rectangle and draw butterfly patterns on it with a permanent marker.

It could be fun to draw on either side—the bumpy side or the flat back.

Pinch the center tightly with a pipe cleaner to form the middle, then make the butterfly’s body and face from colored construction paper and glue them on to finish.

Try making the antennae with pipe cleaners, too.
