[Childcare] Let's make and display in May! Wall Decoration Craft Ideas

White Clover and the Animals

We made the May wall display♪ Child Welfare & Future, 3rd-year students

White clover that blooms with white flowers from spring to autumn.

Did you know it’s the very same clover known for the “four-leaf clover that brings good luck”? Let’s decorate the wall with those leaves that make you feel happy just by looking at them and the cozy, white blossoms.

To recreate the fluffy texture of white clover, we recommend using soft papers like tissues or crepe paper.

If you decorate alongside animals frolicking in the meadow, you can really enjoy the warm, sunny vibe of May even indoors.

Butterflies with decalcomania

How to make butterflies with decalcomania! Great for preschool classroom wall crafts too!

Decalcomania is a painting technique in which paint is transferred.

Cut drawing paper into the shape of a butterfly and fold it in half, then apply paint to one inside half.

Using thicker paint, add various patterns such as dots and lines.

Fold it closed again, and you’ll get a mysterious, perfectly symmetrical pattern! If you attach wrapping chenille stems as antennae, the butterfly is complete.

When children see these intriguingly patterned butterflies, some may say, “I want to make one too!” and become interested.

[Preschool Craft] Carp streamer craft ♪ Also great for May wall displays! | May carp streamer

This is a semi-3D carp streamer that makes you want to touch the origami’s three-dimensional scales.

Cut a sheet of construction paper into the shape of a carp streamer and attach eye parts made from masking tape or circles cut from origami.

Next, crease the origami into four equal vertical sections and cut along the folds to make strips.

Apply glue to the front edge of a strip and stick it onto the construction paper, then curl it into a loop and glue the ends so they overlap.

Continue attaching strips of origami in various colors and patterns so they overlap like scales, and you’ll have a colorful carp streamer with raised, textured scales!

May seasonal display by Kimie Gangi: “Wisteria Tsumami-zaiku made with tissue paper, Ver. 2”

Let’s make wisteria blossoms that look like chirimen crafts using tissue paper! Stack lavender and white tissue paper, cut into a square, then cut into a triangle and keep them stacked with the white on top.

Apply liquid glue to two spots on the left and right slightly below the tip, and fold the left and right corners up toward those glued spots.

Fold the piece in half, glue the open edges, shape it, and then glue two pieces together as a set to complete one petal.

Attach multiple petals in a cascading line and combine them with leaf parts to create an elegant wall decoration that’s a touch more refined than a typical fancy ornament.

A butterfly with beautiful watercolor-like bleeding effects

Gently blending colors make it so beautiful! Here are some ideas for butterflies using a bleeding painting technique.

Bleeding painting is a form of art that takes advantage of the way paint or ink bleeds and spreads across paper or canvas to create beautiful effects.

Its charm lies in the dreamy atmosphere and soft impression it gives.

This time, let’s use paper towels to make original butterflies.

Color the paper towel with water-based markers, then use a dropper to let water soak in.

Once it’s fully dry, cut it into a butterfly shape and wrap a pipe cleaner around it to finish!

Colorful butterfly

Three-dimensional, vibrant butterflies capture children’s interest! Here are some colorful butterfly ideas.

Decorating the classroom walls can stimulate children’s creativity and deepen their curiosity for learning as they explore colors and shapes.

Seasonal motif decorations are also a great opportunity to convey a sense of the seasons and the unique scenery they bring.

This time, let’s use construction paper and tissue paper to make colorful, festive butterflies.

Using a craft punch will enhance the charm of the creations even more!
