[For Toddlers] A Big Collection of Craft Ideas to Enjoy at Christmas [Part 3]
Christmas is a major event for kids! It’s a day packed with fun—getting presents, eating cake, and more.
How about enjoying some Christmas crafts as part of the preparations? In this article, we share perfect Christmas ideas for preschoolers.
Classic motifs like Santa Claus and reindeer are all here! After your crafting time, be sure to display the creations around your room.
Since children’s creations are treated as works, we use the term “seisaku (制作)” to mean “craft/work” in the text.
[For Toddlers] A Big Collection of Craft Ideas to Enjoy at Christmas [Part 3] (1–10)
Pompom Stamping! Christmas Tree
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoiku.labo/video/7445125954743110919Here’s a Christmas tree craft idea where you dab on color with stamps.
Prepare a tree template, stamps, paint, and drawing paper.
First, fix the tree template onto the base sheet and have the children stamp paint onto it.
Green is the main color, but adding a little white can make it look like a snow-covered tree.
Once the stamping is done, remove the template and glue on a trunk made from construction paper to finish.
After the paint dries, decorating with sticker ornaments could be fun, too.

Fingerprint ornament

Prepare lace paper doilies, circular colored cardstock and white cardstock, ink pads, round stickers, and pens.
Cut the colored cardstock smaller than the lace doily but larger than the white cardstock.
Glue them in order—colored cardstock onto the lace doily, then white cardstock on top.
Stamp fingerprints onto the white cardstock.
Next, use round stickers and pens to create snowmen or reindeer.
Finally, attach a string for hanging, and you’re done! It’s also fun to decorate the blank spaces with stickers or write “Merry Xmas.”
A Christmas tree made with clay and tissue paper
https://www.tiktok.com/@ouchiasobi_mii/video/7569008152230776082This is a Christmas tree mascot with a distinctive, softly textured look, made by combining clay and tissue paper.
First, shape the clay into a Christmas tree and coat the entire surface with glue.
Next, prepare tissue paper cut into small pieces, press them into the clay, and cover the surface.
It’s best to fill it in until the clay is hardly visible to create the effect of spreading leaves.
By choosing colors and arranging the tissue paper thoughtfully, you can create an even more beautiful Christmas tree.
Paper Cup Christmas Lights
https://www.tiktok.com/@chooobo2/video/7436354141355658513The glowing paper cup lights that shine in complete darkness are a big hit at Christmas parties, too.
Prepare a clear file, colored pens, paper cups, a craft knife, rubber bands, plastic wrap, and a light, and let’s make them.
Cut the clear file into a circle and draw an illustration.
Flip it over, color it in, then use the craft knife to cut out the bottom of the paper cup.
Place the circle on the cup, cover it with plastic wrap, and secure it with a rubber band so it doesn’t shift.
Add stickers around the outside, and you’re done.
If you point the light from the cut-out side toward a wall, the illustration will be projected.
It’s also fun to change the designs and make several different paper cups.
How to make a cute pom-pom Christmas tree
Let’s make a cute Christmas tree using decoration balls.
Prepare 25 decoration balls in your favorite colors, floral/arranging wire, origami paper, and decorative parts.
First, separate the balls into groups of 9, 7, 5, 3, and 1.
Thread each group onto wire, twist to secure, and form pom-pom rings.
For the single ball, insert a U-shaped bent piece of wire.
Roll the origami paper into a cone to create the base, then slide on and stack the rings in order from largest to smallest.
Finally, insert the single decoration ball at the top and decorate to finish.
No-sew yarn Christmas tree
How about making a Christmas tree with cozy, warm yarn? There’s no knitting—just wrapping the yarn around a base—so it’s an easy idea to try with kids.
First, cut cardboard into the shape of a tree.
Then stick double-sided tape on the front and back of the three edges, peel off the backing, and staple the end of the yarn to the back.
From there, simply wrap as you like! Once you’ve wrapped it all around so the base doesn’t show, tie off the yarn so it won’t come loose, and decorate with ribbons or gem stickers.
Add a string and you can use it as an ornament, too.
