[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.”

Stained-glass-style Christmas tree

[Stained Glass Style] Christmas Tree – Make it with lamination! Stained glass craft for preschool/childcare

Stained-glass-style Christmas tree

This is a stained-glass-style Christmas tree that’s perfect for wall decorations.

It’s arranged to make it easy to create stained glass together with children.

Because it uses familiar materials and is simple to make, why not give it a try? First, cut black construction paper into star, circle, and Christmas tree shapes to make the stained glass frames.

Place these pieces between laminating sheets and run them through the laminator, then color them with permanent markers.

Finally, attach crinkled aluminum foil to the back, and you’re done! When laminating, the machine gets very hot, so an adult should handle this step.

Have fun working on it while using your imagination to think, “What colors should I use?”

Santa Claus paper fan

[Christmas Decorations] Easy! How to Make a Santa Paper Fan

Santa Claus paper fan

Paper fans are a popular decoration that add a vibrant splash of color to walls.

This piece is striking for its beautiful, petal-like pattern.

First, prepare two sheets of construction paper folded accordion-style and clip them together.

Next, tie the center with clear nylon thread and secure it on the back.

Punch a hole in the part where the accordion folds aren’t connected, thread a string through, and the base is complete.

Use construction paper, or glue on a downloaded Santa cutout, using the fan portion to represent his beard.

Layer the two items together to finish.

Try creating this three-dimensional piece that’s perfect for Christmas parties and events.

Paper tube Christmas tree

(Toilet paper roll) Cute! How to make a Christmas tree wall decoration [DIY] cute! Christmas tree wall decoration

Paper tube Christmas tree

A Christmas tree made using toilet paper rolls is great for crafts because it has a sense of depth and allows for highly flexible designs.

Simply slice the rolls into evenly sized rings, arrange them in the shape of a tree, and attach construction paper cut to the same shapes to create a three-dimensional Christmas tree.

You can fill all the ring openings with paper, but leaving some open and placing small objects inside makes use of the depth while adding originality.

It’s fun to make your own and also to see what others create, so it’s perfect as a craft project for children in the lead-up to Christmas.

Poinsettia Christmas tree

DIY Craft Idea: Poinsettia Christmas Tree (with templates) (December) (Wall Decoration) (Senior Recreation/Daycare) (Early Childhood Education) (DIY Craft) (Psychiatric Creative OT)

Poinsettia Christmas tree

Poinsettias are vibrant flowers that brighten up the Christmas season.

Their red and green coloring really brings out the holiday spirit.

Let’s try making this poinsettia wall decoration by hand.

The key is to crumple the colored paper first to add wrinkles—this is the secret to creating a three-dimensional look.

Once you’ve made lots of poinsettias, decorate a large, tree-shaped base with them.

You’ll end up with a big, impressive poinsettia tree.

Give it a try and make some festive poinsettias!

A tree made by stuffing tissue paper into a bag

This is a Christmas tree craft that’s great for young children, made by stuffing tissue paper into a bag.

Kids can roll, tear, and pack the tissue paper as they play! After playing, fill a plastic bag with the tissue paper, then tape it while shaping it into a triangle to turn it into a tree.

Finish by freely sticking on stickers and a star from the top! Attach a ribbon so it can be hung on the wall.

You could make a design where Santa peeks out, or even swap Santa for photos of the children—it would turn out wonderfully.

This is a decoration that can also be used as an educational activity, where you thread yarn through holes punched in a paper plate to create a Christmas tree shape.

First, use a paper plate with a lace doily attached as the base, cut it into a triangle, and punch holes around the edges.

Then thread green yarn through the holes and shape it like a tree—that’s the basic idea.

How much yarn you thread is important, too; move your hands steadily to give the tree plenty of volume.

Using yarn in other colors to create ornaments for the tree is another recommended option.
