A Christmas wreath that’s fun to make
@rinmama_handmade♬ Cute heartwarming BGM(1490583) – sanusagi
Kids love the feel of paper clay, don’t they? For this Christmas wreath made with paper clay, start by creating the wreath base out of the clay.
Then, using a stick with a rounded, slightly pointed tip, press small squares of fabric and tissue paper into the clay.
Try to leave as few gaps as possible to give it a fuller, more festive look.
Once the clay has dried, finish by decorating it freely with beads, ribbons, bells, and more.
It’s a wreath you can enjoy making while experiencing the texture of the clay, so be sure to give it a try!

“Huh? Are these sticky notes?” It’s sure to surprise! Here’s how to make a stylish Christmas wreath that takes advantage of the shape and translucency of sticky notes.
First, cut a clear file folder into a wreath shape, then arrange and stick the sticky notes on it in a radial pattern.
Next, decorate with round stickers.
Finally, make a Santa Claus or reindeer out of construction paper and stick it in the center of the wreath, add a ribbon to the top, and you’re done.
It’s a good idea to prepare sticky notes in various patterns and colors so children can choose freely.
Since the main task is lining up and sticking many small sticky notes, it also helps develop children’s fine motor skills and concentration.

Don’t forget to add the hat and beard, and you’re done! Make it together with your child and enjoy counting down to Christmas.

How about making a pretty, sparkling snowman that looks just like stained glass? First, cut white construction paper into the shape of a snowman and cut out a circle for the belly.
Place it on top of a piece of baking parchment, then cover the belly area with clear tape.
Peel off the parchment and stick small pieces of colored cellophane onto the tape.
Finally, add parts like the snowman’s hat, nose, and mittens, and you’re done.
Display everyone’s creations by the window, and colorful light will shine through—sure to make the children’s eyes sparkle too!
The Tree and Santa
https://www.tiktok.com/@chooobo2/video/7432273588402638098When it comes to Christmas, it’s all about Santa and the tree! If you make both and display them together, you can really soak up the Christmas spirit! Let’s start with the tree.
Tear green origami paper into pieces and glue them onto a paper cup, then decorate freely with stickers, origami, yarn, and more.
Wrap a toilet paper roll core with brown origami paper, glue it, and place it under the paper-cup tree to finish.
Next, let’s make Santa.
Wrap a toilet paper roll core with red origami paper and glue it, poke holes for the arms, and thread pipe cleaners through.
Finally, attach parts for the face, clothes, and feet to complete it.
Prepare a cardboard base, arrange and glue down the tree and Santa, then scatter and glue cotton like snow to finish.
Give it a try for inspiration!

Here’s how to make a fluffy, touchable, and super-cute Christmas tree.
First, draw a tree on construction paper.
Choose tissue paper in the colors you want to use to match your illustration, then tear it into pieces.
Next, put the torn tissue paper into a paper cup, moisten it with water, squeeze it tightly, and pour off the excess water.
Add glue to the cup and mix.
Finally, use chopsticks to place the tissue paper pieces where you like.
Once it dries, add any final drawing details, and you’re done.
We made a tree this time, but it’s also fun to try other Christmas-themed motifs like Santa or presents.
Give it a try!
