[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.”

Triangle Santa

Crafts: Nursery school craft activity 'Christmas Craft - Triangle Santa' demonstrated by a childcare worker

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

[Kindergarten/Daycare] December Handprint Santa with a Beard – Art/Craft Project

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.

Santa Claus climbing a chimney

[Craft Play] Christmas Project: Let’s Make a Climbing Santa

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!

Christmas tree made with tissue paper

Christmas tree made with tissue paper

A Christmas tree made using tissue paper will have more pronounced shading and a more three-dimensional finish than one made with construction paper.

All you need to do is stick tissue paper leaves onto a green base cut into the shape of a Christmas tree, so even children can make it easily.

You can also crumple tissue paper of various colors to use as ornaments, which will make it look even more like a Christmas tree.

It’s a simple wall decoration that will cutely brighten up the Christmas season and events.
