A bubble art snowman
https://www.tiktok.com/@levwell_hoikushi/video/7587300923865648405Soap-bubble art creates unique patterns.
This time, let’s use the technique to make a snowman.
First, prepare some colored bubble solution.
Just mix soap solution into white paint thinned with water.
Dip a toilet paper roll core into the bubble solution and use it as a stamp so that two circles connect.
These will be the snowman’s head and body.
Once it’s dry, draw the face, hands, and a scarf with pens or crayons to finish a cute snowman.
A cute paper-clay snowman
https://www.tiktok.com/@chii_1514m/video/7592169104069430549Here’s a craft idea for making a three-dimensional snowman.
On a base made by attaching black construction paper to thick cardstock, shape a snowman out of clay.
Once the snowman is formed, decorate its body with any beads you like and add eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
Next, attach paper mittens to pipe cleaners and stick them into the snowman.
Finally, decorate the base with snowflake stickers and more, and you’re done! You can also put a hat on the snowman if you like.
If you prepare a variety of beads and pipe cleaners, each child will be able to create a snowman full of their own personality.
Easy! Origami Snowman
This is an origami snowman you can make with simple steps.
Choose the color of your origami paper based on the hat you want the snowman to wear.
Once you’ve decided, place the paper with the colored side facing up and fold it in half by bringing the left and right edges together.
Next, fold it again by matching the top and bottom edges.
Then, using the second crease, make a step fold (accordion fold), and fold the two ends of the stepped section inward, opening them into triangles.
This creates a waist, giving you a two-tiered snowman.
Finally, tuck the remaining corners at the top and bottom inward to round the shape, and you’re done.
One corner will become the hat, so fold only one layer inward so that a triangle of the colored side appears on the snowman’s surface.
How to make a fluffy, fuzzy snowman
Stick double-sided tape onto a strip-cut piece of white construction paper, then place cotton on top.
Roll it into a ring and secure it! Connect two of these, add a hat and facial features, and you’ll have a fluffy snowman! Since attaching the hat on top of the cotton is tricky, it’s best to glue it to the paper base before adding the cotton.
For the facial features, bend and twist pipe cleaners to make them.
Depending on the child who makes it, each snowman will have a different expression, resulting in a set of unique, characterful creations.
Sparkling 3D Snow Dome Suncatcher
Here’s a sparkling snow globe that captures the seasonal mood, glittering in the crisp winter air and warm sunlight.
First, cut a circular opening in the center of a paper plate, then attach a clear protective sheet to the rim—this forms the base of the snow globe.
Be sure to stretch the protective sheet taut as you stick it down.
After you place pieces of cut transparent origami on the sheet, add a handprint shape to resemble a tree for an extra Christmas touch.
Once you put on the lid, it gains a lovely three-dimensional look.
Display it by the window and enjoy the snow globe’s sparkle!
Plump Christmas tree made of origami
This plump origami Christmas tree is perfect for winter wall displays at daycare centers and kindergartens.
The steps are simple, so even 4-year-olds will likely be absorbed and have fun.
First, prepare strips of origami paper, apply glue to both ends, and stick them together to create a gentle curve.
Then, glue these pieces onto construction paper in the shape of a Christmas tree.
If 4-year-olds are doing the activity, drawing guide lines where the origami pieces should be placed can make it easier.
Finish by decorating with colorful round stickers, and you’re done! You can also try variations, such as using white origami to create a white Christmas.
Give it a try!
Christmas tree made from pine cones
If you’ve picked up some pine cones at a park or campsite, why not try making a Christmas tree with them? It’s perfect for a Christmas craft to enjoy with your kids! We recommend disinfecting the pine cones with vinegar and letting them dry before using.
Paint them with acrylics and have fun decorating with beads and pom-poms.
If you leave it to your child’s free imagination, you might stumble upon delightful surprises! Make plenty and brighten up your room—you might just have the best Christmas ever.
