Broad beans you make by sticking (pieces) on
Broad beans, which are said to be in season from April to June, are perfect for spring crafts.
This time, we’ll introduce a project that uses these broad beans.
Prepare by pre-cutting the pod and bean shapes out of construction paper.
If the children are old enough and comfortable using scissors, it’s also great to let them cut the pieces themselves.
Glue the pod and beans onto a base sheet of construction paper, draw faces on the beans, and you’re done.
The steps are very simple, so even younger children can enjoy making this.
The vivid green of the broad beans is sure to energize the kids even more.
Give it a try!
Mobile of clouds and balloons
It spins around and looks so cute! Let me share an idea for a mobile with fluffy clouds and hot air balloons.
You’ll need scissors, glue, thread, beads, translucent origami paper, tissue paper, four rubber bands, craft adhesive, tape, and bamboo skewers.
Use the tissue paper and rubber bands to make fluffy clouds, and make the hot air balloons with the translucent origami paper and beads.
You’ll build a frame with the bamboo skewers and hang the pieces, so if you’re making this with children, be sure to work with safety in mind.
pigeon
Let’s make a peace-symbol dove with origami! Fold the paper into a triangle and place it with the tip facing you.
Fold the base upward so the tip sticks out beyond the edge.
Lift the top layer and fold it back down, then fold the whole piece in half.
Use the small triangular part that sticks out as the head, and fold the large triangular section diagonally upward to form the wing.
Fold the tip of the face to make a small beak, and your flying dove is complete.
By offsetting the wing folds, you can create the look of flapping.
It’s also lovely to use origami with different colors and patterns to decorate like a rainbow.
butterfly
Butterflies fluttering gracefully are a spring-like motif that many children love.
Here’s a display featuring three-dimensional butterflies for your wall.
Making them 3D is nice because they sway gently when a breeze blows.
Use both sides of a plastic bottle cap as stamps on colored construction paper to create colorful patterns.
The stamping activity is suitable for children in the latter half of the 1‑year-old class.
It’s also fun for them to find which butterflies are the ones they stamped themselves.
If you add a flower collage toward the bottom and let the butterflies fly above, you’ll have a wall display full of spring.
horsetail
When it comes to cute spring wild plants, horsetails (tsukushi) are a classic.
They’ve become hard to find in the city, but you can still enjoy the feel of a spring meadow by decorating your wall with them.
Use colored construction paper for the stems and heads, and origami paper for the sheath segments.
Adjust the number of sheaths to match the length of the stem.
If you use store-bought round stickers for the cute cheeks and eyes, you can finish with fewer steps.
Adding spring insects—like butterflies fluttering around or a ladybug perched nearby—will make it even more colorful and charming.
ladybug
The cute ladybug with black spots on a red body is a spring insect that children love.
Its colorful, cheerful look makes it perfect for wall decorations.
Once you make a ladybug, you can reuse it as an accent in your displays.
You can find templates online, too.
And it’s nice to use not only red but also bright colors like yellow or pink.
Make lots of adorable ladybugs and let them perch on flowers and leaves.
The kids might find a favorite one among them.

carnation
The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day, a time to express our everyday gratitude in a tangible way.
How about cutting colored construction paper into carnation shapes and decorating the walls? Adding a ribbon to the stem makes it easier to convey to children the custom of giving carnations as gifts.
You can use them to decorate the classroom, or, even better, have the children attach them to message cards where they’ve drawn pictures or written messages.
For the parents who receive them, it will be a gift they’ll remember for a lifetime.
