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.

Try expressing the excitement of spring on your walls!

Stamp Cherry Blossoms Made from Scrap Materials

Here’s how to make cherry blossoms using recycled materials.

Prepare construction paper, scissors, glue, a toilet paper roll, and paint.

First, create the base of the cherry tree on the construction paper.

Shape the toilet paper roll into a heart, dip it in paint, and stamp it onto the tree.

The stamped shapes look like cherry blossom petals, giving the artwork a springtime feel.

Since children’s hands are small, it’s recommended to cut the toilet paper roll in half to make a stamp that’s easier for them to hold firmly.

A mimosa bouquet made from handprints

@pi_chan.sensei__hoiku
Here’s what we’re sharing this time: “Mimosa spring flowers made by crumpling tissue paper on a handprint!” Spring flowers are full of cuteness, aren’t they? Use your fingertips to crumple small pieces of tissue paper, sprinkle them on, and your mimosa is complete. It’s easy and adorable to make at home or in preschool, so I’d be happy if you try copying it and making one too! 😊#March production #April Production Nursery teacher / Childcare worker #Nursery School Craft #SpringCraftsSpring Craft Mosaic Bouquet

Let me share an idea for a mimosa bouquet made with children’s adorable handprints.

You’ll need: a sheet of construction paper for the base, masking tape or patterned origami paper, paper doilies, light green construction paper, yellow tissue paper, glue or double-sided tape, pink tissue paper, and ribbon.

Children grow up in the blink of an eye, don’t they? How about turning their cute, one-of-a-kind handprints into a craft while you can? Take their handprints on the construction paper, then stick on bits of torn, crumpled tissue paper.

The step where you roll the tissue into little balls seems like it would be lots of fun!

Let’s decorate with springtime natural items!

Capture spring: Try preserving flowers and plants as a piece while they’re still beautiful! Note: They’ll last on display for about 2–3 weeks. If you want them to last longer, press the flowers first and then create your piece!work #LifeWithKids #NurseryTeacherDailyLife Cute #crafts #diy Nursery teacher / Childcare worker Translation

Let’s decorate with springtime treasures! Here’s a perfect spring craft you can make by collecting fallen flowers and wild grasses on a walk.

First, place a sheet of cooking paper (parchment paper) down and put a frame-shaped piece of construction paper on top.

Apply OPP tape (clear packaging tape) over the opening.

Peel the tape, flip it sticky-side up, and arrange the flowers you picked.

Seal it with another layer of OPP tape and trim off the excess—done! It will keep for about two to three weeks, so if you want it to last longer, it’s best to press the flowers first and then make it.

Decorating the paper frame is super cute, too, so give it a try!

Introducing fluffy paint for drawing springtime art that makes you want to touch the puffy parts.

Prepare shaving foam, liquid laundry glue, paint, plastic cups, plastic spoons, and drawing paper.

Sketch your picture on the paper beforehand.

In a plastic cup, combine shaving foam and liquid glue in a 1:1 ratio and mix.

Add paint to color it, then use a plastic spoon to place the foamy paint onto your sketched drawing.

When it dries, you’ll have a cute, puffy spring picture! Once dry, you can touch it, so enjoy the fun texture—give this charming and magical craft a try!

Giant cherry-blossom wall

https://www.tiktok.com/@inokuchirunbini/video/7221821366301920520

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

https://www.tiktok.com/@hoikushi_bank/video/7070815400073760001

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!

A bed for Little Broad Bean made of cotton

The picture book Sora Mame-kun’s Bed is hugely popular even among two-year-olds.

Here’s a craft activity using that book as a theme: making Sora Mame-kun’s bed out of cotton.

Prepare green construction paper, cotton, glue, and a piece of construction paper cut into the shape of Sora Mame-kun.

Cut the green construction paper into the shape of a pod to create the base.

Apply glue to the pod, then attach the cotton so it has a nice, fluffy volume all over.

Have the children draw Sora Mame-kun’s facial expression with crayons and stick him onto the cotton bed to finish.

It’s best to adjust the amount of glue together with the teacher as you go.
