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.

Butterflies made from footprints

It’s great that even children in the infant class can make this! Here are some butterfly craft ideas using footprints.

Using footprints in crafts is wonderful because you can keep them as a record of growth.

When you look back, seeing the size and shape from that time will help you feel how much they’ve grown.

This time, let’s arrange a child’s footprint into the shape of a butterfly.

For the butterfly wings, it’s nice to add stickers or cut out pieces from drawing paper with scribbles.

Be sure to give it a try!

Combine different materials to create your favorite butterfly! Here are some felt butterfly ideas.

It’s a good idea to prepare a few types of materials in addition to felt so children can choose and mix them on their own.

Cutting the inner materials smaller than the outer ones enhances the butterfly’s three-dimensional look.

You can also use jute twine instead of pipe cleaners.

Making a favorite butterfly while enjoying the softness and colors of felt is sure to be a fun time for kids.

♬ I wonder – Da-iCE

Let me introduce tulips made with a bleeding-painting technique that lets you enjoy how colors blend.

Prepare a coffee filter, water-based color pens, a spray bottle, construction paper, glue, and scissors.

Draw on the coffee filter with the color pens.

When you spray water over it, the water-based ink will bleed and blend.

Once it’s dry, cut it into a tulip shape and glue it onto a backing sheet to finish.

If you like, adding eyes made from round stickers to the tulip could be cute too!
