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

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.
Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

When we think of May, it’s that pleasant season between spring and the rainy season, isn’t it?

That said, when it comes to May wall displays, many teachers may be struggling to come up with motifs.

You want to decorate with a fresh, May-like vibe, right?

Beyond Children’s Day, we’ve gathered a variety of ideas—materials and recyclables, colorful elements that capture the season, and both flat and three-dimensional shapes—so you can create wonderful wall displays that convey the vibrant time of year.

Please use them for inspiration.

We’d be happy if, through these projects, children develop an interest in the seasons and traditional events.

semi-three-dimensional carp streamer

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

semi-three-dimensional 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!

[Semi-3D] Wisteria Made with Tissue Paper

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.

lily of the valley

A wall decoration of lilies of the valley that are at their best in May.

Attach the leaf pieces and the slender stems that form gentle curves, then apply glue where the flowers will hang.

Make rounded, plump lily-of-the-valley pieces out of construction paper and stick them onto the stems to complete a wall decoration that feels both simple and elegant.

Bright, eye-catching flowers like spring rapeseed blossoms and tulips, or summer sunflowers, are of course lovely, but the slightly understated charm of lilies of the valley is adorable too.
