20 Adorable Spring Window Display Ideas for Schools 

Being a teacher? It’s a whirlwind of responsibilities.

Teaching, mentoring, parenting, nursing—seriously, the list is endless.

Hats off to all the incredible teachers out there.

And now, on top of everything, decorating classroom windows for spring?

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with ideas or just can’t think of where to start, don’t worry.

I have some fresh, fun, and easy-to-pull-off spring window display ideas to lighten your load and bring that seasonal charm to your classroom.

1. Blooming Classroom Garden

A blooming paper flower garden is all you need to bring spring vibes to your classroom windows.

This simple project is easy to make, and even more enjoyable if the students pitch in!

Let their imaginations run wild with colors and shapes, creating a unique display that’s as vibrant as the season itself.

2. Painted Sunshine

For teachers with a flair for art, this is your moment!

A bright sun, a whimsical garden, a little ladybug, and a few paper planes can turn your window into a lively spring scene.

It’s playful, colorful, and ideal for younger kids.

Don’t forget washable paints—they’ll save you a lot of hassle when it’s time to clean or redo the design.

3. Paper Craft

Papercraft decorations are such a wonderful option for elementary and younger students!

I love how whimsical the window can look with creative touches, like butterflies carrying a house.

To make it even better, let the students contribute their paper cutouts and crafts.

It’s a fun, hands-on activity that adds a personal and playful vibe while getting everyone into the spring spirit!

4. Butterfly Wonderland

A Butterfly Wonderland is the perfect way to decorate for spring!

Cover the window with paper butterflies in all sorts of colors and patterns, letting them flutter across the space.

For a bit of 3D effect, you can use fishing lines, or craft butterfly strings with regular thread—they’re both fun and eye-catching!

5. Spring Stained Glass Effect

I’ve always loved the look of stained glass, but I’m pretty sure changing the window glass isn’t an option—and honestly, I wouldn’t want to!

Instead, I like using colorful cellophane to get that same glowing effect.

Make your window glow with kites, a cheerful sun, and vibrant flowers when the sunlight shines through!

6. Daisy Smiley Face

I’ve always had a soft spot for daisies—they’re so refreshing and playful, aren’t they?

What I love most is how easy they are to DIY, whether you’re super crafty or just getting started.

All you need is green paper for the stem, white for the petals, and a big smiley face in the center.

It’s simple, fun, and guaranteed to put a smile on the kids’ faces too!

7. Lively Garden with Artificial Flowers

If arts and crafts aren’t your thing, this project is perfect—you won’t need to pick up a paintbrush!

Artificial flowers and butterflies are easy to find online, so no need to stress over that.

To attach a bunch of flowers to your windowsill, grab a small box and fill it with styrofoam cut to the right size to hold your blooms securely.

Then, cover the styrofoam and the box with smaller flowers for a polished, cheerful look. It’s an effortless way to bring the beauty of spring into your classroom!

8. DIY Stained Glass Window

If you’re looking for a project that’s simple yet striking, this one’s perfect, even for older students.

Use black electrical tape to divide the window into sections—any shapes you like.

Then, paint each section a different color using washable paint (or add dish soap to acrylic paint if that’s what you have so that it washes off easily).

9. Paper Hot Air Balloon

Paper hot air balloons are such a cute and easy project!

For a 3D look, search online for templates that show you how to fold and layer the paper.

If you’re going for something simpler, just print and cut flat designs, then attach them to your window for a playful spring vibe.

10. Flowers & Bees

Double windows are great for creating a spring-inspired display!

Decorate them with bright flowers in a mix of sizes—large blooms alongside smaller ones add a nice variety, and add bees flying around for a lively look.

You can either go with matching designs on both windows for a balanced look or try two different styles for a more creative vibe.

11. Blush Pink Flowers

If you’re looking for a painting project, this one is stunning.

Let blush pink flowers cascade down the window in soft, flowing patterns.

It’s the kind of idea that art teachers can shine with, creating a serene and artistic spring vibe.

12. Positive Message

There’s something so uplifting about a kind message on a window.

A saying like “You are Loved” painted in fun, colorful letters can instantly bring happiness to anyone who sees it.

It’s such a sweet and simple way to spread positivity!

13. Flower Explosion

Got a big window? Oversized flowers are the way to go for a bold, spring-ready statement!

You can paint them yourself for a personal touch or use flower decals you can find online.

Just make sure to measure carefully so your design fits perfectly and turns out just as stunning as you’ve imagined.

14. Half-Window Design with Butterflies

If reaching the top of the window isn’t practical—or you just want to keep it simple—decorating the bottom half is a great option.

Try arranging white butterflies alongside small, graceful flowers. It’s a subtle yet beautiful look that feels light, delicate, and perfect for all ages.

It’s a great way to decorate without overwhelming the entire space!

15. 4 Seasons Bunnies

Bunnies are such a cute design, and you can make it perfect year-round!

Customize it with seasonal touches like snowy details in winter, bright blooms for spring and summer, or autumn leaves as fall rolls in.

It’s an adorable and effortless way to keep your decor looking fun and fresh.

16. Butterflies Rainbow

Creating a rainbow of butterflies is a vibrant and simple way to decorate your window!

The bigger the space, the better, as it gives room for the colorful butterflies to stand out.

I bet you can easily find paper butterflies online or tutorials to make your own.

Mix up the sizes for variety—it adds a playful and dynamic touch that’s perfect for a large display.

17. Small Window

For a small window, less is more.

I’d suggest you start with a cheerful message like “Hello Spring” right in the center makes a great focal point.

Surround it with a few big and small flowers in various colors, but don’t overdo it.

Keeping some open space, especially in the corners, gives the design a fresh and airy feel.

18. Bunny-Themed Duo

I’ve got to say that when it comes to spring decorations, window painting takes the crown for being the most visually impressive.

If you’re in a kindergarten or elementary setting, playful and colorful is the way to go—it’s what kids love!

You could paint a bunny running across a green field under sunny skies with kites flying high.

Or, make it Easter-themed with bunnies holding baskets of colorful eggs.

Either way, it’ll add so much joy to the space!

19. Heartfelt Watering Can

Turn your window into a blooming garden of love!

A watering can in the corner pouring bright, colorful hearts onto a bed of flowers below creates a whimsical and uplifting display.

It’s vibrant, fun, and perfect for charming younger children.
