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 with swipe art

The colorful hues spark children’s curiosity! Here are butterfly ideas you can make with swipe art.

Swipe art is an art technique where you pour paint onto a canvas or drawing paper and swipe it horizontally using a sponge or a card.

The charm lies in how the colors blend and create unique patterns as you swipe.

This time, let’s make the butterfly that appears in The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

It’s a fun idea where you can enjoy the changes as the vibrant paints mix together!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar made with fluid art

@buchiko_hoiku
🐶 @buchiko_hoiku ◂◂◂◂ Check out my other posts, too 🌼 Thank you so much for all the likes 🩷 This time: A Very Hungry Caterpillar made with a new kind of art 🐛 Do you know fluid art (pouring art)? With just liquid laundry starch/glue and acrylic paint, you can enjoy a super fun paint play activity 🩵 I had so much fun that before I knew it, I’d been playing for two hours 🤣 My recommendation: use four colors, and make one of them gold paint—the sparkle is so cute 💖 Since it has laundry glue in it, it takes time to dry! Mine was completely dry in about a day and a half ☺️ I used the pieces I made with fluid art to create a Very Hungry Caterpillar theme 🍎🍐🫐🍓🍊 I didn’t have yellow, but I still made a butterfly and it was so fun! Please try making it yourself 🌈 Thank you for reading to the end 🐶 I share easy, copy-ready ideas you can follow from the intro to the craft ♬︎ I’ll be over the moon if you like ♥, save 𖤘, and follow 𖤐 😂 Comments are super welcome, too 🤍🤍Nursery teacher / Childcare worker Kindergarten Teacher #Spring crafts #Wall Creation Toddler Crafts Play that expands from picture books #FluidArt Pooling Art #TheVeryHungryCaterpillar

Let’s create a popular picture-book character! We’ll introduce ideas for making The Very Hungry Caterpillar using fluid art.

The picture book The Very Hungry Caterpillar is famous worldwide, and many children are likely familiar with it from reading it at preschool or at home.

Some kids might also know it from hand-play activities or songs.

This time, let’s try making it with fluid art.

Fluid art is an art technique that uses flowing paint to create natural movement and patterns on surfaces like canvas or drawing paper.

Because the movement of the paint is unpredictable, you can create unique and original works!

Fold-Only Tulip

Let me introduce an easy “fold-only” tulip that also works as a three-dimensional wall decoration.

Prepare patterned origami paper, construction paper, crayons, glue, and scissors.

Cut the construction paper into circles in pairs and fold each circle in half.

By using construction paper in different colors, you can enjoy variations in the tulip’s flower color.

Glue the tulip’s center piece cut from the patterned origami together with the pair of folded petals, and your tulip flower is complete.

Draw leaves with crayons to create a springlike tulip!

3D tulip wreath

Here’s how to make a 3D tulip wreath.
