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.

Chick and Four-Leaf Clover

Here’s an introduction to making chicks and four-leaf clovers.

Prepare paint, brushes, a palette, drawing paper, and crayons, and let’s get started.

Put paint on the children’s palms and have them do hand painting to color and create the four-leaf clovers.

Older children can try drawing chicks and ladybugs on the drawing paper.

For younger children, it’s also nice to have them paste pre-made chicks or ladybugs.

For the background paper, we recommend spring-like colors such as pink or light blue!

Butterflies made with colorful tissue paper

https://www.tiktok.com/@kiitos_staff/video/7096033540764224769

Let’s make your very own special butterfly! Here are some ideas for butterflies made with colorful tissue paper.

Tissue paper is thin and soft, and it’s often used for crafts that have a gentle, festive feel.

With its wide range of colors, it’s perfect for creating three-dimensional flowers and decorations.

It’s lightweight and easy for kids to work with, so they can cut, crumple, and twist it to freely express different shapes.

This time, we’ll make a butterfly from the popular children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The patterns and color choices really show off each person’s individuality.

Sparkly-winged butterfly

Let’s make one with colored foil origami! Here’s an idea for a butterfly with sparkly wings.

Colored foil origami has a unique texture and a beautiful finish, giving a more glamorous impression than regular origami.

This time, let’s make the butterfly that appears in the beloved children’s book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” It’s also great practice for cutting straight with scissors.

For toddlers, it might be easier if they tear the paper by hand to create their own arrangement.

Butterflies made by dyeing with colored water

Let me show you how to make butterflies dyed with colored water.

Prepare kitchen paper towels, construction paper, pipe cleaners, tape, scissors, paint, and empty containers.

Cut the paper towels into four equal pieces, stack them, and tie the center with a pipe cleaner.

Round off both ends of the paper towels with scissors, then unfold them to form the butterfly’s wings.

Dissolve the paint to make colored water in your favorite shades, and dip the paper-towel butterfly in to add color—your spring-like butterfly is complete.

Add a face made from construction paper to create your own cute, original butterfly!

Butterflies drawn with colored ice water

Also great as a sensory play activity! Here’s an idea for painting butterflies using ice made from colored water.

It’s a highly recommended sensory play activity! The chill of the ice combined with the vivid colors will engage children’s senses, making the creative process fun.

As they watch the ice melt, they can enjoy the way the colors spread, making it a fulfilling activity.

It’s also nice to do on warm days out on the terrace or in the playground.

A wonderful idea to enjoy both coolness and art!
