[Childcare] Wall decoration craft ideas featuring a cherry blossom motif

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!

Perfect for walls too! Origami cherry tree

[Origami] Easy! Cherry Blossom Tree - How to Make an Origami Cherry Blossoms

Have each child make one cherry blossom tree so we can turn the room into a famous cherry blossom spot! Prepare five small origami sheets (7.5 cm × 7.5 cm) for the cherry blossoms and one brown origami sheet cut in half (15 cm × 7.5 cm).

For the cherry blossoms, fold the square in half vertically, make X-shaped crease lines on one side, then fold it along those creases into a triangle-like shape.

Next, draw a petal-like outline, cut along the line, and open it up to complete a cherry blossom.

Make five of these.

For the tree trunk, take the brown origami, fold it in half and open it, then fold both ends toward the center, and slightly flare out the root area—done! Glue the cherry blossoms onto the tree to finish.

Torn-paper collage

[Graduation/Entrance Ceremony] Make it from 0 years old! Let’s create a cherry blossom tree with torn-paper collage ♪ [Spring Craft]

Torn-paper art, where you tear origami or tissue paper to create a picture, is perfect for expressing cherry blossom petals! Besides the simplicity of just tearing and pasting paper, torn-paper art offers many benefits for children.

One is that the actions of tearing and sticking help develop fine motor skills.

In addition, with torn-paper art, children imagine the overall picture and think about where to place which colors as they work.

This process strengthens concentration and sharpens their sense of color.

Give torn-paper art a try—it’s packed with wonderful advantages!

Cherry blossom petal wreath

Origami [Cherry Blossom Petal Wreath]

Make it with origami! Here’s an idea for a cherry blossom petal wreath.

What you’ll need: eight quarter-size sheets of origami paper and glue.

The origami cherry blossom petals look like they’re linked together—so cute! You can stick to a single pink color, or mix in light pink and white petals for a lovely effect.

Using traditional Japanese patterned origami will change the overall vibe even more, so it’s highly recommended.
