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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: 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.

Paper and yarn garland

Dandelion flowers and butterflies made with yarn and paper (with audio commentary)

Paper and yarn garland

Decorate with yarn dandelions and bring a touch of spring to your room! Wrap yellow or white yarn around four fingers, slide the bundle off gently, and tie the center with a short piece of yarn.

Snip the loops on both the top and bottom, then trim and fluff it into a round dandelion shape to finish.

Make leaves from construction paper and attach them to the dandelion with glue.

If you insert the leaves slightly into the dandelion as you glue, it will look more realistic.

They’re cute on walls or hallway displays, and also charming when hung as decorations.

Rape blossoms are cute with their small yellow flowers.

How about incorporating them into your crafts in various ways? Prepare fluffy yellow construction paper shaped like the whole flower, and try different techniques for the little blossoms: stamp them with a stamper, use finger stamping, apply round stickers, make torn-paper collages, or crumple tissue paper and glue it on—there are many ways to express the look.

Crumpled tissue paper adds a three-dimensional feel, and with finger stamping you can try using various warm colors, too.

Soft pastel colors are so beautiful! Let me introduce an idea for making “soap bubbles” using tissue paper.

You’ll need tissue paper, white drawing paper, a spray bottle, a compass, and scissors.

First, tear tissue paper in various colors and spread the pieces over the white drawing paper.

Next, fill the spray bottle with water and spritz it to dampen the tissue paper.

Once it’s dry, remove the tissue paper and use scissors to cut the drawing paper into circles.

If you display them together with children’s photos or illustrations of straws, they’ll look even cuter.

Be sure to give it a try!

Cherry-blossom viewing craft

Speaking of spring, it’s the perfect season to enjoy cherry blossom viewing.

Here’s a fun craft for hanami using paper plates and tissues.

Prepare tissues, paint, tissue paper, paper plates, construction paper, and glue.

Stick torn pieces of tissue paper in the center of the paper plate to create volume, then glue tissues around the edges.

Add paint to the tissues to instantly create a cherry-blossom vibe.

Finish by placing a photo of a favorite animal or a child in the center! You can also change the background colors to your liking for a more original look.

Tulips made with teardrop-shaped stamps

Here’s how to make tulips using a teardrop-shaped stamp.

Prepare a plastic bottle cap, sponge sheet, cardboard, paint, drawing paper, tissue paper (for crafts), and crayons.

Cut the cardboard and sponge sheet into teardrop shapes and stick them together with double-sided tape.

Glue the caps together to make a handle for the stamp, then attach it firmly to the teardrop so it won’t come off.

Dip the teardrop stamp in paint and start stamping.

Stamp three times to complete the tulip shape.

Try changing the angle to make cute tulips!
