Christmas crafts for 2-year-olds! A collection of fun ideas using stamps and handprints

Let’s make postcards with vegetable stamps!

Don’t waste them—let’s make postcards with vegetable stamps!

There are parts of vegetables that we cut off and don’t use in cooking, right? Let’s try turning those usually discarded parts into stamps and make New Year’s cards! You can use any vegetables you like—onions, green peppers, carrots, lotus root, spinach, and so on.

Prepare several vegetable stamps with different shapes.

Once you’ve got your veggies ready, dip them in paint or ink and start stamping.

They might look like flowers or animal faces—your imagination will surely expand.

Try expressing the design side of the postcard with your stamped artwork.

Let’s use handprint stamps to create Christmas art.

Using the shape of your stamped hand, you can make a reindeer or Santa Claus.

First, decide on your design, then paint your hand and stamp it! For a reindeer, paint your palm and your index and ring fingers with brown paint to represent the reindeer’s face and antlers.

For Santa Claus, stamp the handprint upside down to create his white beard.

Add small details like the face and hat using felt, construction paper, and pom-poms to give your artwork color and dimension, and you’re all done.

[Craft for ages 0–5] Rip-and-stick torn-paper collage tree 🎄#Childcare CraftingNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Drawers of ChildcareWith childrenEasy to makeMake and playPopular production#ChristmasInfant Craft⭐↓Detailed instructions are in the comments↓⭐

♪ Original Song – Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Let’s create a Christmas tree with torn-paper collage! Prepare a base with the tree trunk already glued on, and have the children tear several sheets of origami paper into small pieces.

If tearing is difficult, you can prepare pre-torn origami paper.

Apply glue in a triangle above the trunk, then attach the torn paper on top to form the tree.

Finish by decorating with round stickers as ornaments.

Mixing patterned origami with solid colors will make it look more festive.

Choose sticker colors that won’t be overpowered by the origami colors.

Here’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.

Christmas Activities for 0-Year-Olds

As part of a Christmas-themed activity, why not try making Christmas trees and ornaments? Use a stamp made by covering a lactic acid drink bottle with fabric to print patterns on construction paper, or decorate ornaments with stickers to make them festive.

In the end, you can even decorate a big tree drawn on the wall! Even children who don’t yet understand what Christmas is will surely deepen their understanding while having fun through play.

Prepare ornaments and stickers with different motifs and colors, and let the children choose for themselves.

Christmas tree lacing

Christmas Tree Threading Craft: A Nursery Teacher Explains an Easy Method Even Infants Can Do!

Here’s a Christmas tree craft idea that kids can enjoy while practicing lacing.

For preparation, cut out a Christmas tree and ornaments from construction paper.

Since you’ll be threading pipe cleaners through both, punch holes in them beforehand.

First, thread one end of a pipe cleaner through the tree and secure it so it won’t slip out.

Then, let the children choose their favorite ornaments and thread them onto the pipe cleaner.

Once several are on, secure the other end of the pipe cleaner to finish.

Prepare ornaments with various motifs to create a lovely Christmas tree!

Let’s make a big Christmas tree!

[Ages 0–2] Let’s make a Christmas tree!

This is an idea where you put a big Christmas tree made from construction paper on the wall and let the children freely decorate it with ornaments.

Since it’s for infants (0-year-olds), please prepare the ornament bases in advance by cutting them out of construction paper.

Let the children draw on the bases with crayons or stick on stickers to create lovely ornaments.

Once the ornaments are finished, decorate the tree with them! If you prepare bases in a variety of motifs, the tree will look even more festive.
