[Childcare] Ideas for March wall decorations

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.

Cherry blossoms made with lace paper

Recommended for infants! Here’s a cherry blossom craft idea using lace paper.

You’ll need lace paper, construction paper cut into a tree shape, paint, glue, construction paper, round masking tape stickers, and scissors.

First, color the lace paper with paint diluted with water.

Once it’s dry, attach the tree-shaped construction paper.

Next, cut slits into the round masking tape stickers to create cherry blossom petals and stick them on.

Finally, cut the backing paper along the silhouette, and you’re done!

Cherry blossoms made with newspaper stamps

Let’s make use of familiar materials! I’ll show you an idea for creating cherry blossoms using a newspaper stamp.

You’ll need drawing paper, crayons, newspaper, paint, and a paper plate.

First, use crayons to draw the cherry tree trunk on the drawing paper.

Next, put some paint on the paper plate.

A single color looks nice, but I recommend using two colors so you can enjoy the way they blend.

Finally, pick up some paint with a crumpled piece of newspaper and dab it onto the paper—stamp, stamp—and you’ll have a tree full of cherry blossoms!

Giant cherry-blossom wall

Let’s create with our whole bodies! I’d like to introduce a giant cherry blossom wall that everyone can make together.

You’ll need large sheets of drawing paper taped to fit the wall size, brown construction paper, paint, paper cups, brushes, and pink paper cut into pieces.

It’s a wonderful idea to spark children’s creativity.

Painting on drawing paper many times larger than their own bodies is sure to be exciting! It’s also fun to use thinly shredded pink paper as cherry blossom petals.

You can just picture the children’s smiling faces as they dynamically enjoy a flurry of paper confetti! Adjust the paper size to match your classroom or room dimensions.

Cherry blossom petal stamp

The gently bleeding paint is beautiful! Let me introduce a cherry blossom petal stamp.

You’ll need: an empty lactic acid beverage bottle, vinyl tape, scissors, cushion foam sheet, a pen, a paper cup, a sponge, paint, drawing paper, and a plastic bottle cap.

First, let’s make the stamp.

Attach the plastic bottle cap and petal-shaped pieces cut from the cushion sheet to the empty beverage bottle, then reinforce with vinyl tape—that’s it! For the stamp pad, use a paper cup.

Cut the sponge into a circle, then add pink-mixed paint and water.

This handmade cherry blossom petal stamp lets you create beautifully old-fashioned-looking sakura, so it’s a highly recommended craft!

Adventure – YOASOBI

Make it with a plastic-bag stamp! Here’s a craft perfect for spring: a flower field.

First, tie the bottom of a plastic bag and turn it inside out, then blow in some air and tie it closed.

Next, squeeze out your favorite paint colors and dab paint onto the bottom of the bag.

Stamp it onto construction paper to create flower shapes! Use lots of colors to make a whole flower field.

Add glitter or any decorations you like—they’ll look adorable.

You won’t get your hands dirty, so it’s easy and fuss-free.

Give it a try with the kids!

Sakura tree made with transparent origami

@pi_chan.sensei__hoiku

Here’s what we’re sharing this time: “A Sakura Tree with a Stained-Glass Look Using Transparent Origami”! It’s an arranged version of our popular posts “Colorful Autumn Tree” and “Christmas Tree.” This time it’s back as a cherry blossom tree. The cherry blossom season is coming, isn’t it? Are you going flower viewing? It’s easy and cute to make at home or in the classroom, so I’d be happy if you copy it and give it a try! 😊#March production#April ProductionNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Nursery School Craft#SpringCrafts#Spring crafts

Haru no Uta – Sakura Fujiwara

I want to decorate a sunny windowsill! Here’s an idea for making a cherry blossom tree using transparent origami paper.

You’ll need brown construction paper, scissors, glue, transparent origami paper or colored cellophane, a clear file (plastic sleeve), and a cherry blossom-shaped frame made from construction paper.

Traditional-style cherry blossom crafts are lovely, but why not use this idea to create bright, stylish blossoms? Displayed by the window, they’ll sparkle in the sunlight and give off a different, delightful vibe.
