A Santa Claus you can make with just three folds

[Finger Dexterity Learning] Easy Santa Origami for Beginners | Perfect for Preschool and Kindergarten Crafts! Only 3 Folds #shorts

A craft I recommend for enjoying the Christmas mood with two-year-olds is a Santa Claus you can make with just three folds.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle and open it.

Then fold both the right and left sides toward the center crease, and your Santa Claus is complete.

The hat and face parts are already formed, so let children draw freely with pens or add stickers.

The folding steps are simple, so even two-year-olds can have fun making it.

Use origami in your favorite colors to create lots of colorful Santas!

Spinning snowflakes

How about making spinning snowflakes for a Christmas daycare activity that twirl when you press them with your finger? They work great as wall decorations for Christmas, and they’re also fun toys for children to play with.

Prepare three strips of construction paper cut lengthwise, shape them into a snowflake silhouette, and staple them together at the center.

After attaching origami paper or decorating with pens and colored pencils, slightly shift the construction paper inward to finish.

It’s a Christmas craft that even two-year-olds can freely enjoy by sticking on paper pieces and drawing their own illustrations.

A tree of single scissor cuts and string threading

A Christmas tree craft idea that lets children practice fine motor skills with scissors.

Kids decorate a paper-cut tree base with various ornaments.

By having two-year-olds cut origami paper, this activity can be used in childcare settings as a playful learning experience.

Pre-punch holes in the base with a hole punch and have them thread string—this is also great fine motor training.

Display the finished pieces and create original trees that double as festive Christmas decorations.

A tree made using salt

Making trees with paint 🎨 and salt 🧂 🎄✨. The tree puffs up with salt—so magical 😍😍😍 The blurred paint looks so beautiful ✨.#Nursery schoolProduction#ChristmasTreeSaltOh, how mysterious.GunmaFujioka City#Kichijo Nursery School

Christmas crafts using salt are sure to get kids excited and having fun.

The method is very simple! First, use a brush to draw a Christmas tree with glue on construction paper.

The key is to sprinkle salt over it before the glue dries.

Then, drip watercolor paint thinned with water onto the salt—the paint will gently spread, creating a one-of-a-kind Christmas tree that glows like neon.

Be careful: if you don’t use enough glue, the salt won’t stick well.

[Kindergarten/Daycare] 3 Stamp Wreath Ideas for December

Let’s make a stamp wreath whose pattern changes every time you create it! First, fold a sheet of origami paper to make Santa and draw his facial features with pens or stickers.

Next, cut a cross-shaped slit in the tip of a straw.

Dip it in paint and stamp in a circular motion.

Using about three colors will make your wreath even more vibrant.

You can also use crumpled newspaper or a tampo stamp—highly recommended.

Finally, add decorations by dabbing paint with your fingers, place Santa on the wreath, and you’re done! Give this craft idea a try and let kids’ creativity shine.

New Year’s Cards Made with Onions

Cut an onion in half, paint the cut surface with paint, and stamp it.

Use that as the outline, then draw a face with a pen to turn it into an animal illustration.

Even with the same onion, each cross-section is different, and the way the paint goes on will change the look of the stamp.

In the video, they also use a triangular stamp to depict a tiger, but by changing the shape of the ears, you can represent various animals.

If you stack the shapes to make a snowman, it would make a wintery New Year’s card.

Let your imagination grow and try creating a perfect New Year’s card design using an onion stamp.
