[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.

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.

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.

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!
