This is a Christmas cake made from a milk carton and acorns.

One-year-olds can try decorating with the acorns at the end.

The base cake should be prepared by the caregiver.

First, open the milk carton and cut off one of the four sides.

Cut the carton into 5 cm-wide strips and make triangular pieces.

Then, using the removed side, make an isosceles triangle with a 5 cm base and attach it to the top and base of the triangular pieces.

Once you decorate it with origami paper, the cake base is complete.

In addition to acorns, you can also prepare stickers, yarn, and cotton to enjoy a variety of decorations!

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!
