[For Toddlers] A Big Roundup of Craft Ideas to Enjoy at Christmas

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.

After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Speaking of December, Christmas—the holiday children look forward to every year—finally arrives.

Getting presents is exciting, of course, but the sparkling trees and lights, and the reindeer and Santa Claus that create a thrilling atmosphere are also part of the fun.

So this time, we’ve gathered plenty of craft ideas for preschoolers that make the most of those festive motifs.

If your Christmas craft ideas are starting to feel stale, or you’re looking for something new, please use these as inspiration.

Because the things children make are regarded as works of art, we use the term “制作 (seisaku),” meaning “production/creation,” in the text.

Stained-glass-style Christmas tree

[Stained Glass Style] Christmas Tree – Make it with lamination! Stained glass craft for preschool/childcare

Stained-glass-style Christmas tree

This stained-glass-style Christmas tree is perfect for decorating your walls for Christmas.

It’s arranged to make it easy to create stained glass together with children.

You can make it casually using familiar materials, so give it a try! First, cut black construction paper into star shapes, circles, and Christmas tree shapes to create the stained-glass frames.

Place those parts between laminating sheets to process them, then color them with permanent markers.

Finally, attach crumpled aluminum foil to the back, and it’s done! When laminating, the machine becomes very hot, so adults should handle this step.

Enjoy working on it while using your imagination to decide what colors to use!
