Craft ideas for a children’s club Christmas party: A collection of simple, crowd-pleasing projects (1–10)
Chewy Santa and the Reindeer
Let’s make Santa and reindeer puppets with mouths that open and close.
First, cut off the spout section of a milk carton.
Next, make vertical slits from top to bottom on the two corners that are diagonal from each other.
Crease the bottom so it divides into two triangles—this creates the mouth that can open and close.
The side panels above and below the mouth become the face and body, so cut them to your preferred length and shape, then cover them with construction paper.
For Santa, you can cut one side into a triangle to represent his hat.
Finally, attach the facial parts made from construction paper and the reindeer antlers, and you’re done.
A snow globe with swirling snow

Prepare a lidded plastic cup, a straw, a balloon filled with beads, a Christmas illustration, and some decorations.
First, make a hole in the side of the plastic cup and insert the straw.
Also make about two small air holes in the bottom.
Stick the Christmas illustration on the inside of the cup and transfer the beads from the balloon into the cup.
Seal the original straw opening in the lid with tape, then stand and glue a decoration such as a Santa on top.
Close the cup with the lid, and it’s done.
Be careful not to inhale while the straw is in your mouth, as the beads could get into your mouth.
Santa popping out from the chimney

It’s very easy to make.
First, cut a circle out of construction paper to make a lid for a paper cup.
Make Santa out of construction paper too.
Poke a hole in the bottom of the paper cup to pass a popsicle stick through, and draw a brick pattern on the sides.
Tape the lid onto the paper cup, insert the popsicle stick through the hole, and tape the stick to the lid to secure it.
Now you’ve created a mechanism where pushing the stick opens the lid.
Finally, attach Santa to the underside of the lid, and you’re done.
A tinsel Christmas wreath
Here’s how to make a Christmas wreath by wrapping colorful pipe cleaners.
Create a festive item that kids will love—hang it on the wall as an ornament or dangle it from a tree.
First, wrap a pipe cleaner around a straw, then slide it off the straw, leaving small gaps between the coils.
Make three of these.
Next, thread a straight pipe cleaner through the holes created by the coils.
Leave the ends free, form a ring, and twist 2–3 times to secure.
Decorate with ribbon-shaped pipe cleaners or rhinestone stickers for a sparkling finish! By changing the pipe cleaner colors and decorations, you can create all kinds of different wreaths.
Santa walking with little pitter-patter steps
Here’s an idea for making a Santa who carries presents.
You’ll need a paper cup, construction paper, a plastic bottle cap, a super ball (bouncy ball), a rubber band, string, a clear bag, and a small present.
Place the paper cup upside down and decorate it as Santa Claus using construction paper.
Put the super ball inside the bottle cap, close it, thread a rubber band through it, and tape it in place.
Put the present in the clear bag and use the string to attach it to the paper cup.
Cut 1 cm slits into the rim on the left and right sides of the cup, then hook the cap’s rubber band into the slits to finish.
Twist the cap section and set it on a table—Santa will start walking.
