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?

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.

Speaking of spring, the bright yellow fields of canola flowers are so beautiful, aren’t they? Here’s a craft featuring canola blossoms that even one-year-olds can enjoy.

Prepare construction paper, paint, and five cotton swabs, and let’s get started.

First, make the base for the canola blossoms and stems using construction paper.

Bundle the five cotton swabs with a rubber band to create a stamp for the flower portion.

Dip the bundled swabs, thinned with a little water, into yellow paint and stamp the flower area.

The slightly raised paint texture looks so delicate and really brings out the canola-flower feel.

It’s also fun to change the paint and paper colors to create your own original canola blossoms.

Dandelions made from tissue paper

Soft and gentle vibes that are so cute! Here’s an idea for making dandelions with tissue paper.

You’ll need yellow tissue paper cut into quarter-size pieces, a round backing sheet, a stapler, and scissors.

First, accordion-fold the tissue paper and staple it in the middle.

Next, make three snips on both sides with scissors, then gently open up the tissue paper.

If you cut a bit deeper, it looks even cuter! Finally, glue the tissue paper onto the round backing to finish.

Try combining it with leaves and a stem made from construction paper.

Sakura tree made with transparent origami

@pi_chan.sensei__hoiku
Here’s what we’re sharing this time: “A Sakura Tree with a Stained-Glass Look Using Transparent Origami”! It’s an arranged version of our popular posts “Colorful Autumn Tree” and “Christmas Tree.” This time it’s back as a cherry blossom tree. The cherry blossom season is coming, isn’t it? Are you going flower viewing? It’s easy and cute to make at home or in the classroom, so I’d be happy if you copy it and give it a try! 😊#March production #April Production Nursery teacher / Childcare worker #Nursery School Craft #SpringCrafts #Spring crafts

I want to decorate a sunny windowsill! Here’s an idea for making a cherry blossom tree using transparent origami paper.

You’ll need brown construction paper, scissors, glue, transparent origami paper or colored cellophane, a clear file (plastic sleeve), and a cherry blossom-shaped frame made from construction paper.

Traditional-style cherry blossom crafts are lovely, but why not use this idea to create bright, stylish blossoms? Displayed by the window, they’ll sparkle in the sunlight and give off a different, delightful vibe.

[Semi-three-dimensional] Four-leaf clover

[Origami Decoration] “Four-Leaf Clover—Easy! Make in Bulk♪” 3D Origami Wall Decoration, Preschool Craft, Elderly Care Recreation #origami #crafts

[Semi-three-dimensional] Four-leaf clover

Let’s make semi-3D four-leaf clovers and fill the classroom wall with a lucky motif! Fold the origami into a triangle three times, make a slit along the crease from the third fold, then cut along a gentle curve.

Open it once, reinforce the cross-shaped creases, apply glue to the left side of the slit, and lightly overlap the right side onto it.

Pinch the back at the center of gravity, press the leaves to shape them, and use a PET bottle cap with paint on its rim to stamp a central pattern.

Your adorable clover with a three-dimensional form is complete!

Iris

Introducing an easy way to fold an iris with origami! How about making it as a decoration for Children’s Day or for April and May? [Ori-Tsuku]

Iris

This is an origami iris with a gentle purple color that looks best in May.

Fold the paper into a triangle, then fold it into a triangle again and open it.

Fold the bottom corner up to meet the top point.

Open it once, fold the base to align with the crease, and open both sides into pockets.

Flip it over, fold the top layer down as if turning a page, then make a slit in the pointed bottom part and fold it down diagonally to finish! Pair it with a stem and leaf pieces made from green origami folded into narrow strips.

Attach them to a backing sheet or a wall display!

[Origami] How to fold a rabbit – Origami How to make a Rabbit, cute animal, easy DIY paper craft, paper folding rabbit (Korean), origami rabbit (Chinese)

rabbit

Here’s an origami rabbit—the quintessential cute animal! First, crease the paper along the diagonals, then fold up the bottom edge about 1.5 cm.

Flip it over and fold up the section you just made once more, then fold both sides toward the center line.

To make the face round, fold the bottom and side corners inward, and bend the tips so the ears match in shape.

Turn it back to the front, fold the top corner of the face to the back, and draw in the eyes, mouth, and cheeks to finish! Once you’ve mastered making this cute rabbit, you’ll probably want to try all kinds of other animals too.
