Spring wall decorations: A roundup of recommended motifs for nurseries and kindergartens

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

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.

At daycare centers and kindergartens, you make fun wall displays every month, right?

Spring wall displays are full of cute motifs.

For teachers who are unsure which ones to use, here’s a roundup of wall display ideas perfect for spring, from March to May!

Cherry blossoms, colorful flowers, and adorable spring insects will brighten up the classroom.

If you make them together with the children, the fun doubles!

You can also combine several motifs to create original decorations.

Let’s make memories together! Here are some hand-painted cherry blossom ideas.

You’ll need poster paper, paint, a roller, and scissors.

Spring is a season of meetings and farewells, so how about making cherry blossoms with the whole class? Paint the cherry tree trunk using a roller, and create the cherry blossom petals using the children’s handprints.

When decorating, it’s also lovely to display the children’s photos next to the cherry blossoms.

Just looking at it is enough to make you excited!

Cherry blossom tree made with plastic bags

@lion.sensei_hoiku
Just one plastic bag!! I never knew you could make such cute stamps like this 🦁 It might be nice to have everyone stamp on a big sheet of paper to make a large cherry blossom tree and display it 🌸Nursery teacher / Childcare worker Childcare student #Nursery school #Nursery School Craft #AtHomePlay work

Blow into it and make it! Let me show you how to create a cherry blossom tree using a plastic bag.

You’ll need construction paper, a plastic bag, paint, a cherry tree shape made from construction paper, and glue or double-sided tape.

First, tie the bottom of the plastic bag tightly, turn it inside out, then blow into it and tie it off.

Dab paint onto the plastic bag, which will be puffed up like a balloon, and stamp it onto the paper to make big cherry blossom petals! Attach the cherry tree cutout made from construction paper, and you’re done!

Cherry tree made of felt

So soft and touchable! Here’s a felt cherry blossom tree you can make.

You’ll need pink felt, brown felt, buttons, thread, a needle, craft glue, and scissors.

Making it is a great chance to explore different materials! The charm of this craft is that the felt cherry blossoms with sewn-on buttons let you attach and remove petals as you play, which is sure to capture the interest of infants—highly recommended! It’s best for teachers or caregivers to handle the steps that use needles and thread.

A flower field made with fork stamping

Let’s make a colorful, cute spring flower field using fork stamps.

Prepare paint, a fork, green-toned tissue paper, construction paper, and glue.

Tear the tissue paper vertically by hand to create stems and leaves.

Tissue paper is delicate, so tear it gently.

Once you’ve glued the tissue paper onto the construction paper to represent stems, start stamping with paint applied to the fork.

If you load the fork with plenty of paint, the flowers’ shapes and colors will stand out clearly.

The softness of the tissue paper will help express the movement of the stems and leaves, too!

Puchi-puchi butterfly

When spring comes, don’t you find butterflies more often even in the kindergarten yard? Let’s make butterflies that herald spring using bubble wrap as cushioning material! We’ll use bubble wrap to create the butterfly wings.

Cut the bubble wrap into a rectangle and draw butterfly patterns on it with a permanent marker.

It’s easier to draw on the flat back side rather than the bumpy side.

Pinch and tightly tie the center with a chenille stem (pipe cleaner), then make the butterfly’s body and face with colored construction paper and stick them on to finish.

Try making the antennae with a chenille stem as well.

Dandelions Made of Pipe Cleaners and Yarn

@n.annlee321
Easy and fun! Make a dandelion without sewing using pipe cleaners, yarn, and felt ☺️#tiktok video contest #tiktok classroom Life with children
Shuwa-shuwa Honey Lemon 350ml – Sharou

Would you like to make a three-dimensional dandelion with adorable fluffy yarn flowers? Let’s start by making the flower.

Prepare a suitable pen and hold it together with a yellow pipe cleaner.

Wind yellow yarn around the pen and pipe cleaner 40 times, then remove the pen and tie the loops together with the pipe cleaner.

Thread a green pipe cleaner through the yellow one and wrap it around to cover the yellow pipe cleaner, forming the stem.

Cut through the center of the yarn loops, then trim the ends into a rounded shape to create a pom-pom effect.

Finally, thread a felt leaf onto the stem, and you’re done.

It’s a very cute, spring-like idea!
