A tree made with nuts and yarn
Let me introduce a tree craft that’s fun to make, using nuts and yarn.
Prepare a paper plate and use the spattering technique to create falling snow.
The way it looks like real snow piling up is sure to lift your spirits.
Next, wrap yarn around the paper plate.
Keep a Christmas tree shape in mind and form a triangle.
Finally, decorate the yarn area with nuts and other embellishments, and you’re done.
If you use nuts you collected yourself, you’ll feel even more attached to your creation.
Yarn-Wrapping Tree
Here’s a Christmas tree you can make by winding yarn round and round! Be sure to try it with your kids.
First, cut thick paper into a triangle and make small slits around the edges.
Hook the yarn into the slits and wrap it round and round.
Finally, stick on beads for decoration, and combine it with a base made by wrapping origami paper around a toilet paper roll—and you’re done! It stands up on its own, so it makes a nice accent for your room and will help bring out the Christmas spirit even more.
Santa made with a paper plate
For children eagerly awaiting Christmas, we recommend making a Santa craft using paper plates.
With this familiar material, a simple paper plate transforms into a humorous Santa! First, in a collage style, tear light peach and red origami paper to create Santa’s face and body.
Then glue on the facial features, hat, hands, feet, belt, and cotton beard to finish! The process is fun to make, and through this activity your child’s expression will shine even brighter.
The finished piece radiates warmth and is sure to brighten up your room’s wall with vivid holiday color!

Triangle Santa
This is a wall decoration inspired by ‘Sankaku Santa,’ a picture book known for being a great read at Christmas.
You simply attach the facial parts onto a base made of construction paper, so it’s fun and easy to make.
Since scissors are essential for making the base and parts, it’s best for teachers to prepare them in advance if this craft is done in a nursery or kindergarten.
Displaying the Santas that the children make at random is cute, but arranging the triangles like a tree also creates a festive and eye-catching wall decoration.
Santa with a handprint beard and a sticker-decorated tree
Let’s try a craft that uses children’s cute handprints as Santa’s beard.
First, prepare an oval piece of construction paper for Santa’s face and a sheet of origami paper folded into a triangle.
The origami will become Santa’s body, so patterned paper is recommended.
Next, use white paint to make the children’s handprints on the construction paper.
Once the paint is dry, the teacher should cut out the handprints with scissors.
Then, glue the Santa parts together with the children.
If you also prepare construction paper cut into a tree shape and let the children enjoy placing stickers on it, you’ll have a festive Christmas craft all finished.
Easy for anyone! A great-looking Christmas tree
Here’s a Christmas decoration to make the exciting holiday season even more fun.
It’s a colorful Christmas tree made from origami that brightens up your room while keeping things simple.
Just prepare origami papers in various green gradients, plus colors like brown and yellow; fold and cut them as you like, then stick them to the wall with masking tape.
You can adjust the size and balance to your preference, creating an original Christmas tree display.
It’s simple yet beautiful—give it a try!
Santa Claus climbing a chimney
Would you like to handcraft a moving toy that’s perfect for the Christmas season? Let’s make a paper-cup toy featuring a Santa who climbs up a chimney.
All you need are a paper cup, a straw, string, and colored paper.
The steps are very simple, so try it together with friends or family.
Thread the string through the straw and attach it to the inside of the paper cup.
Once you stick a cute Santa on the outside of the cup, it’s done.
When you alternately pull the two ends of the string, Santa steadily climbs upward.
It looks colorful and cute as a wall decoration, too.
Give this fun, moving Christmas toy a try!
