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.
9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

When it comes to flowers that color spring, cherry blossoms come to mind.

Cherry blossoms are charming and glamorous, and just looking at them makes you feel bright and positive, doesn’t it?

So this time, we’ve gathered ideas for creating wall decorations with a cherry blossom theme—perfect for spring.

From origami to torn-paper art and kirigami, there are plenty of ideas that let you enjoy the making process itself.

Hanging ornaments and garlands are also great to display around entrances and by windows.

Let’s fill the room with cherry blossoms together with the kids and wrap ourselves in a happy mood!

Because items made by children are treated as “works,” we use the term “seisaku (制作)” in the text.

Here’s an idea for making a cherry blossom by combining petal parts.

Use one strip of origami paper measuring 15 cm by 1 cm to make a single petal.

First, leaving 3 cm at each end, accordion-fold the paper at 1.5 cm intervals.

Once folded, glue both ends so that the mountain-folded sections face inward.

With one petal complete, make four more and attach them together to form a cherry blossom.

Use pink origami paper and place the colored side on the inside when making it.

Cherry blossom tree made with straws

Fun for babies and toddlers alike! Here’s a craft to make a cherry blossom tree using straws.

You’ll need construction paper, a cherry tree cutout made from colored paper, a straw, scissors, and paint.

First, glue the cherry tree cutout onto the construction paper.

Next, snip the end of the straw and open it up to form a cherry blossom petal shape.

Finally, dip the straw into paint thinned with water and stamp it onto the paper—your cherry blossoms are complete! The simple, easy-to-follow steps are a plus.

Mixing colors to create a vibrant cherry blossom tree also sounds like fun!

Newspaper stamp fun! How to make cherry blossoms

Crumple up a sheet of newspaper and use it as a stamp to make cute cherry blossoms 🌸✨ #shorts #preschoolcrafts #cherryblossomcraft #springcrafts #fortwoyearolds #marchcrafts

Newspaper stamp fun! How to make cherry blossoms

Once you roll up newspaper into a ball, dip it in paint and dab away! That alone creates a cherry blossom craft perfect for spring.

After stamping on cherry-colored construction paper, cut it out to resemble the blossoms on a cherry tree.

Combine it with a trunk made from brown construction paper and attach everything to the base to finish.

For the base, prepare construction paper in sky blue to suggest the sky and green to suggest a spring field.

By adding green only to the lower part of the blue paper, you can represent a cherry tree blooming on a hill.

Besides deep pink, I think using white or yellow paint will also look beautiful.

Cherry blossoms made with origami and a stapler

This project will make you want to create cherry blossoms in all sorts of colors and decorate with them.

First, fold a sheet of origami paper into an accordion and then fold it in half; staple it along the crease.

Fold it in half again at the stapled section and cut it into a shape like a cherry blossom petal.

Next, cut off one of the petals.

Then, open it up while shaping the remaining petals into a cherry blossom.

Slip a finger into the center and push outward as you open it to help the shape settle nicely.

Make lots of them and combine them with a tree trunk made from brown construction paper, then try decorating your wall.

Also great for walls! Sakura paper cutouts

[Origami] How to Fold a Sakura 🌸 Origami Cherry Blossom ~ Spring Wall Decor [March/April]

Also great for walls! Sakura paper cutouts

When people think of spring in Japan, many imagine cherry blossoms.

With that in mind, here’s an idea for a cherry blossom wall decoration.

Fold creases into origami paper and cut it with scissors to make the pieces.

It would be perfect for entrance or graduation ceremonies.

It’s also lovely to add a message and give it as a gift.

When making it, be careful that your fold lines are straight and that the angle of your cuts is correct.

Changing the cutting angle will alter the shape of the petals, so take care.

That said, you can also intentionally vary the angles to add your own creative touch.

Cherry blossom tree made with tissue paper

Arranging it is so much fun! Let me show you how to make a cherry blossom tree using tissue paper.

You’ll need pink tissue paper, origami cherry blossoms, glue, and a tree trunk and branches made from construction paper.

For children, the step of opening up the tissue paper takes concentration and requires delicate finger movements! By getting interested and taking their time, they can feel a great sense of achievement and satisfaction when they finish, so I highly recommend it! Plus, you can adapt this idea depending on how big you want your cherry tree to be, so be sure to give it a try.

Speaking of spring, it’s all about cherry blossoms! Let’s try making cherry blossoms using brightly colored pink tissue paper.

Be sure to cut the tissue paper into small pieces in advance.

Create a tree trunk from brown construction paper, place a ball of clay, and flatten it from above using a clear file.

After placing the tissue paper on the clay, use a thin stick like a chopstick to press the tissue paper into the clay.

By pressing in lots of tissue paper, you’ll create cherry blossoms in full bloom.

This craft lets you enjoy both the step of cutting construction paper with scissors and the tactile feel of the clay and tissue paper.
