[For 4-year-olds] Fun Christmas! Craft Ideas Special

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

As Christmas approaches, both adults and children get excited and fidgety…

It’s such a delightful event, isn’t it?

If you’re doing Christmas crafts with four-year-olds, you’ll want to capture that sense of excitement too.

Four-year-olds, who enjoy expressing themselves and turning their ideas and creativity into tangible forms, do best with open-ended craft ideas they can freely explore.

This time, we’ve gathered a variety of ideas featuring different materials, techniques, and motifs.

Please feel free to use them as inspiration.

Triangular Santa Claus made from a paper carton

Christmas Craft (1): Triangle Santa Claus with a Milk Carton!! [Nursery School / Kindergarten]

Triangular Santa Claus made from a paper carton

These cute triangular Santas are easy to make with a milk/juice carton.

Just cut off a corner of the carton, stuff it with crumpled tissue paper, and add decorations like Santa’s face and belt! Attach a string to turn it into a Christmas tree ornament, or simply display it as is since it’s a 3D craft.

You can also switch it up and make a reindeer instead of Santa for an adorable variation! You can create two pieces from a single carton.

It’s a project that will surely get you excited to see each child’s unique creation.
