This is a Santa Claus wall decoration idea that children can enjoy at different difficulty levels, from infant to preschool classes.
In the infant class, children can aim to complete their work by drawing or pasting Santa’s face on a paper plate with crayons, while in the preschool class, they can start from cutting the paper plate with scissors and work through to completion.
Using cotton, white decorative balls, and googly eye stickers adds a three-dimensional effect.
The wall will look festive, and it might make children look forward to coming to school.
An ornament that can also be hung on the tree! Star decoration

You can easily make this using simple materials from a 100-yen shop.
First, roughly cut colored construction paper in your favorite colors.
Place a star-shaped template on top of parchment paper and secure it with tape.
Peel off the star together with the tape, then freely stick on the small pieces of the cut paper.
Add another layer of tape over the top, and cut along the star shape with scissors.
Finally, punch a hole and thread a string through it to complete the star ornament.
Using cellophane makes it translucent and more festive in the light, perfect for Christmas trees or wall decorations.
It’s a simple yet eye-catching craft that you can enjoy making with children.

Crafts made using familiar materials and scrap are a great experience for both children and adults.
Instead of buying something new, using items that would otherwise be thrown away can also contribute to the SDGs.
The items you’ll need are: a toilet paper roll, construction paper cut into parts, glue, double-sided tape or paste, red pom-poms, a black pen, and rubber bands.
When attaching the pom-poms, it’s a good idea to secure them with rubber bands while they dry.

Capture the moment while you can! Make a Santa Claus using your child’s handprint and decorate your room.
Paint your child’s palm with red paint and press it onto construction paper to make a handprint.
Next, once it dries, attach Santa’s face and a sack full of presents to the handprint.
Finally, draw a brick pattern on a kraft paper cup with a white crayon and decorate it with white cotton to finish.
The sight of the handprint Santa tucked inside the kraft paper cup chimney is absolutely adorable!
Stylish snowflake

Let’s make delicate yet eye-catching snowflakes.
You’ll need two sheets of white drawing paper (size 16-cut), a template, scissors, glue, a stapler, and a ruler.
You can also use copy paper or origami paper, but using drawing paper will give you larger, sturdier snowflakes! For variations, try adding color with paint thinned generously with water, or decorate with sparkling rhinestone stickers.
Hope this helps you enjoy the run-up to Christmas!
Cute yarn paper plate decoration

Here’s an idea for an easy, seasonal decoration.
First, prepare a paper plate and paint it navy blue to create the base.
Wrap some clear tape around the tip of green yarn, then punch holes in the plate in the shape of a Christmas tree.
Thread the yarn through the holes, and the outline of the tree will gradually appear.
Once the shape looks right, attach decorative stickers and a star ornament to complete the tree.
You can add white round stickers around it to create a snowy atmosphere.
Finally, punch a hole at the top and tie a ribbon, and your cute decoration is finished.
With color and decoration tweaks, it’s a fun winter craft to enjoy with children.
Perfectly round and cute! Threading Santa
Santa Claus’s big belly is the cutest feature! This is a unique lacing craft.
What you’ll need: a paper plate, scissors, a hole punch, red yarn, red tissue paper, glue or double-sided tape, and Santa’s face and body parts.
Cut out the center of the paper plate and punch holes around it, then lace red yarn through the holes.
Next, attach crumpled tissue paper around the rim of the plate.
Finally, glue on Santa’s face and body parts, and you’re done!
