[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.”

A Christmas tree made with washi (masking) tape

[Masking Tape] Christmas Tree 2015 - Masking Tape Art: Xmas Tree on the Wall 2015 -

A Christmas tree made with washi (masking) tape

A Christmas tree made with masking tape is a simple decoration anyone can try.

Masking tape is usually used to protect areas from getting dirty during painting and other work, but it’s actually very handy and easy to use for making decorations, too! You can buy various colors at 100-yen shops, so try combining them for a vibrant finish.

You can also substitute craft color tape instead of masking tape, so give it a try with what you have available in your facility!

Origami Poinsettia

Poinsettia Made with Origami [Christmas Decoration] DIY How to Make Paper Poinsettia | Christmas Decor

Origami Poinsettia

How about making a poinsettia—known for its vivid red color—that blooms from November to December? Poinsettias made with origami are surprisingly easy, and if you follow along with videos on YouTube, anyone good at origami can make one in a short time.

There’s a step that uses an accordion fold, which takes a bit of finesse, so just be careful there and fold carefully.

If you combine it with leaf-shaped decorative parts, it will look even more vibrant, so give it a try for inspiration!

Christmas hanging ornament

[Craft Idea] Christmas Hanging Decorations (December) (Christmas Ornaments) (Activities for Seniors / Occupational Therapy) (Wall Decorations)

Christmas hanging ornament

This is a hanging decoration that incorporates Christmas-themed motifs such as Santa Claus.

You make a triangle with red origami paper as the base, then add decorations to complete Santa Claus.

Using cotton to express the softness of the beard is also important.

Shaping elements into rounded forms and layering parts when gluing them on to create a three-dimensional finish are key points as well.

In addition to Santa Claus, arrange fine motifs like holly leaves to fully express the world of the piece.

Christmas bell made from a paper cup

[Craft Idea] Christmas Bells – Paper Cup Craft (December) (Wall Decorations) (Activities for Seniors) (Childcare & Early Learning) (Easy) (Creative)

Christmas bell made from a paper cup

Christmas bells that you can make with familiar items like paper cups and origami will fill your room with Christmas colors as wall decorations.

You can easily create the shape by wrapping a halved paper cup with gold origami, making the craft simple to put together.

Adding holly leaves and berries made from origami will enhance the look even more, but since it involves fine cutting with scissors, an adult should assist if it’s difficult for a child to do alone.

It’s a clearly Christmas-themed display at a glance, so be sure to try making it together with your child.
