Paper Plate: Cute Christmas Wreath
How about making a Christmas wreath out of simple paper plates as a craft to enjoy with children? First, fold a paper plate in half, cut out the center to create the wreath base, and have the teacher paint it with poster paint.
Next, let the children stick on masking tape, round stickers, and star-shaped stickers.
Besides painting, you can also enjoy other methods with the kids, such as tearing origami paper and gluing it on, or attaching crumpled tissue paper.
To finish, punch a hole at the top, thread a ribbon through, and it’s done.
If you have time, adding a bell made from origami or your child’s photo would make it even more charming.
Wreath made with glitter garland
Here’s how to make a Christmas wreath out of chenille stems (pipe cleaners), perfect for holiday decorations! You can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop.
You’ll need four 20 cm pipe cleaners, decorative pipe cleaners or ornaments, and a straw or thin pen about 0.5 cm in diameter.
To make it, first wrap a pipe cleaner around the straw or pen.
Leave small gaps between the coils, then slide it off.
Make three of these.
Thread all three onto the remaining pipe cleaner, then make a loop at the top and enjoy adding a bow with a pipe cleaner and other decorations.

Sparkly wreath
A Christmas tree made with wire and baubles is an easy craft because the main task is simply choosing the baubles you want to use.
Thread your favorite baubles onto slightly thicker wire, shape it into a wreath-like circle, and you’ll have a festive, Christmas-style wreath in no time.
However, since materials and tools like wire and nippers can be difficult for younger children to handle, an adult should assist with shaping and finishing.
This Christmas-themed wreath, full of originality, will beautifully brighten up your event.
Christmas wreath
This is a cute Christmas wreath you can make with origami.
Let’s craft the wreath base, Santa Claus, a stocking, presents, a ribbon, a candy cane, and other perfect Christmas items out of paper.
The steps are suitable for older preschoolers and kindergarteners, so why not have each child make one to brighten up the wall display? Aside from the origami used for Santa Claus, it’s fun to choose any colors you like to add a personal touch.
It might be hard to finish in a single day, so work on it little by little each day and complete a wonderful wreath.
Pom-pom wreath
This is a Christmas wreath made by stringing pom-poms together with embroidery thread.
Threading and simple stitching are the main tasks, but using a blunt-tipped embroidery needle allows children to work safely.
By using pom-poms in colors different from the base for decoration, you can create a cute Christmas wreath with a fluffy texture.
It’s visually light and small in size, so it also works well as a garland or ornament to brighten up events.
Give it a try!

Small Christmas wreaths made with chenille stems are recommended because they can be used both as interior decor and as accessories.
You can create a base by wrapping Christmas-colored chenille stems around a card ring, which you can buy at a 100-yen shop, and then simply attach your favorite charms to make a wreath with a personal touch.
They’re easy to make and versatile, so they can be a stylish accent not only for children but also for adults.
The fluffy texture of the chenille is cute too—this is a craft we definitely encourage you to try.
Handprint Christmas wreath
With a handprint Christmas wreath, even small children can take the lead and enjoy the activity.
It’s easy to make: first, have them press their handprints onto construction paper, then draw a face and a sack on them to turn the prints into Santa Claus.
Finally, cut out the handprint Santas and attach them to the wreath to finish.
An adult may want to help with just the final step.
Also, be careful because small children might lick their paint-covered hands.
In addition, please take proper measures to protect the room from getting messy.
