[Childcare] Ideas for March wall decorations
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.

Cherry blossom wall decoration made with origami
Feel the Japanese spring indoors! Let me introduce a cherry blossom wall decoration made with origami.
What you’ll need: jute twine, paper tape, masking tape, scissors, green origami paper, light pink origami paper, brown origami paper, and a ruler.
By twisting and attaching the paper tape, you can create a round frame, and by making and attaching cherry blossoms and petals, you can give it a sense of movement—it’s a craft full of wonderful ideas.
It’s a great way to enjoy spring inside, so I highly recommend it!
Tissue-paper butterfly
Why not try making fluffy butterflies using soft tissue paper? If you use a template, you can easily make them in bulk.
Start by creating a butterfly template with dark-colored tissue paper.
Divide the tissue paper into six equal parts and cut out the template with scissors.
Once cut, stick it onto copier paper and make copies.
Stack several sheets of butterfly tissue paper on top of the copied paper, staple around the edges, and then cut them out along with the template.
After cutting, twist a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) around the center of the butterfly paper to finish.
3D tulip wreath
Here’s how to make a 3D tulip wreath.
Gather thick paper (cardstock), decorative paper, and ribbon.
Draw a circle on the cardstock, cut out the center, and form a wreath base.
Glue origami or decorative paper along the wreath shape to create the foundation.
Using a tulip template, cut out petals from origami paper.
Glue the cut tulip petals together to form each tulip flower.
Roll origami paper into tubes to make stems, then add leaves and the tulip flowers, and glue them onto the wreath base to complete it.
When gluing the petals together, be careful not to overlap them.
Adding a ribbon gives it a fresher, spring-like feel.
cherry blossom arch window
Cherry blossoms made as papercut art from folded origami.
By changing where you use scissors or a craft knife, you can create cherry blossoms in many different designs.
Try displaying the cherry blossom papercuts in an arched window made from origami.
If you make the window with blue origami paper, it will look like cherry blossoms blooming under a blue sky.
The blue sky seems to bless the children’s upcoming life at the kindergarten.
If you also make cherry blossom petals from origami and decorate the wall, it will look even more beautiful.
This is a craft you can adapt to flowers of other seasons as well, not just cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossom petal wreath
Make it with origami! Here’s an idea for a cherry blossom petal wreath.
All you need are eight quarter-size sheets of origami paper and glue.
The cherry blossom petals made from origami look adorably connected! Using just one shade of pink is nice, but it’s also lovely to mix in petals made from light pink or white origami paper.
Using traditional Japanese-patterned paper can change the vibe even more, so it’s highly recommended.
It’s a perfect idea to decorate your room wall or entryway!
The Emperor doll and the Empress doll
These are the Emperor and Empress dolls with gentle faces that bring a sense of calm when you look at them.
Let’s decorate the classroom walls and get ready for Hinamatsuri.
Prepare parts like the faces, hair, and kimono by cutting colored construction paper, then assemble and glue them together.
It might be fun to let the children draw the faces freely and display a row of unique hina dolls on the wall.
Now that chances to see five-tiered or seven-tiered displays are decreasing, it could be nice to decorate the wall with the three court ladies and five musicians as well, and share stories related to hina dolls.
bouquet
A bouquet wall decoration is perfect for spring, when celebrations like graduation from kindergarten and new enrollments follow one after another! First, prepare flower parts made from colored construction paper, varying the number and shape of petals as well as the colors and sizes.
Next, attach the flowers you made to the base part of the bouquet—including the wrapping—while keeping the overall balance in mind.
Finally, add a ribbon in the center to complete the bouquet.
It’s especially ideal for the classroom of the oldest kids who are about to graduate! How about decorating the room with a bouquet to express your gratitude for “all the wonderful smiles”?
