[Childcare] Christmas wall decoration ideas

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.
9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Here are some Christmas-themed wall decoration ideas that are perfect for kindergartens and daycare centers.

Christmas is an event that excites both children and adults.

We’ve gathered plenty of wall decoration ideas to boost that excitement even more.

In addition to the classic Christmas tree, there are ideas like snowmen and stockings that look even cuter when displayed on the wall!

Enjoy Christmas-themed conversations while making them together with the children.

Items made by the children are treated as their works, so we refer to them in the text as “creations.”

Christmas tree with origami!

Christmas tree with origami!

We’ll make a Christmas tree by sticking strip-shaped origami onto a backing sheet.

First, prepare the origami and cut it into strips.

Overlap the two ends of each strip to form a loop, then start gluing the loops onto the backing sheet.

Arrange them in the shape of a tree: five loops in the bottom row, four in the row above, and so on.

Use red origami for the top row, and add a star at the top.

Decorate the tree with round stickers, and it’s done! You can also use wide paper tape instead of origami paper.

3D Christmas tree made of paper

These are Christmas ornaments made with colored construction paper and origami.

Roll a semicircle of green construction paper into a cone-like half-cone shape.

Next, fold a sheet of green origami paper in half with a 1 cm offset and secure it with double-sided tape, then make fine cuts along the green section.

Turn it over and rub it with a stick to add curls, and the tree’s leaves are done.

After that, attach the leaves along the curve of the base you made earlier, layering them in tiers to form the Christmas tree.

Add small ornaments made by gluing together circular pieces of paper to complete a wall decoration bursting with Christmas spirit.

A three-dimensional tree made with tissue paper

As a wall decoration idea, I recommend a three-dimensional Christmas tree made with tissue paper flowers! It’s a fun project to make with children, so why not give it a try? The method is very simple: arrange paper flowers made from tissue paper in the shape of a tree and display them on the wall.

Adding origami Santas, bells, or stockings will make it even more festive.

If you let the children create freely, it will turn into a unique piece that’s delightful to look at.

Stained-glass-style tree made with aluminum foil

Even stained glass that seems challenging can be a fun project for kids if you use aluminum foil! This time, we’ll show you a beautiful, shiny, stained-glass-style tree.

First, crumple the aluminum foil to create wrinkles.

Then open it up, place it inside a clear file, and cut it into a triangle.

Put masking tape around the edges of the file, decorate it with your favorite stickers, and you’re done! It also looks lovely if you draw stained-glass-style outlines with a black permanent marker and color it in.

Enjoy tailoring the activity to the children’s ages and interests.

Christmas sweater

How about making a cute Christmas sweater? The process is very simple: prepare a piece of construction paper cut into the shape of a sweater.

Have the children glue on Christmas-themed motifs or draw their own patterns freely.

You can prepare templates for the Christmas motifs in advance, or let the children create them on their own—either is fine! Adding various materials like craft pompoms and sequins will make the piece lively and festive.

A Christmas tree made by sticking pieces together

Here’s an idea for a Christmas tree you can make by sticking pieces together.

As the name suggests, this idea involves assembling a large Christmas tree by attaching parts.

First, cut construction paper into triangles to create small Christmas trees.

Let the children decorate them however they like.

Once they’re finished, attach the trees to the wall, fitting them together to form one big Christmas tree—that’s it! Beads and stickers are also great options for decorations.

Christmas art with handprints and footprints

Christmas crafts made with handprints and footprints are a fun, exciting idea to make together with children! They’re suitable even for infants from 0 years old, so please give them a try.

Use green handprints to make a Christmas tree, red footprints to make Santa’s outfit, and brown footprints to transform them into a reindeer! The decorating step—sticking on round stickers and more—is something even little ones can enjoy.

It’s sure to become a special memory for the children.
