Sparkling Christmas Bell

[Preschool Crafts] Sparkly and Cute! Christmas Bells Made with Cups! | Christmas Bells in a Cup

You know how empty containers like yogurt cups and pudding cups tend to pile up at home? This time, we’ll turn those empty containers into Christmas bells using aluminum foil.

For prep, wrap the container with aluminum foil, poke two holes in the bottom, and thread a pipe cleaner through to make the bell’s handle.

Have the kids stick round stickers on the bell to finish it off.

It makes a bell that looks like it would ring nicely, and it’s cute as an ornament, too.

It’s also a great idea to read a Christmas picture book beforehand as an introduction to the activity.

Christmas tree made with torn-paper collage

[For the Christmas wall display♪] Just tear and stick! Easy-peasy tree 🎄 #preschoolcrafts #nurseryt eacher #teachingideas #traineenurseryt eacher #teacherlife #withkids #origamicraft #christmastree #christmas

Tear and paste freely! Here are some ideas for making a Christmas tree with torn-paper collage.

What you’ll need: construction paper, origami paper, patterned origami paper, glue, and scissors.

First, tear the origami paper into pieces however you like and paste them onto the construction paper.

Once it’s covered, cut the paper into the shape of a tree—and you’re done! Add a trunk and a star, and decorate your room with your Christmas tree! When pasting origami onto the construction paper, it’s safer to do it together with a parent or teacher.

Once you get used to the process, try sticking the pieces on by yourself!

Make it with aluminum foil! Here’s a candy-cookie-style ornament.

You’ll need aluminum foil, construction paper, colored cellophane, string, cellophane tape, and glue.

Cut the paper into a cookie shape with the center cut out, and attach colored cellophane over the cutout.

Glue the paper pieces together and you’re done! The finished ornament looks cute whether you hang it on a tree or display it in your room.

Christmas tree hat

[Production] Christmas Hat - Tree Edition [Episode 10]

Here’s an idea for a cone hat inspired by a Christmas tree.

Cut green construction paper into a fan shape, roll it into a cone to make the hat, and decorate it as if you’re hanging ornaments on a tree.

Prepare paper cutouts like gift boxes, stockings, and stars.

The teacher should handle making the hats and preparing the decoration parts, and ask the infants to decorate the hats.

You can either apply glue to the parts beforehand or use double-sided tape so they can enjoy sticking them on like stickers.

Snowman made with a toilet paper roll core and finger stamps

By using a toilet paper roll, you can create a snowman while having fun.

First, cut small slits into the roll and flare them outward.

Dip it in white paint and stamp it onto construction paper.

Choose paper colors like navy or black that will make the white paint stand out.

Stamp twice to make the snowman’s head and body, then let the paint dry.

Next, prepare face parts, a hat, and mittens from construction paper and glue them on.

It’s great if teachers and children can work on this together.

Finally, use finger stamping to add falling snow in the background, and your cute snowman craft is complete!

The Santa with the tingly whiskers

Shall we all enjoy making a craft that expresses Santa Claus’s rich beard? First, have the children tear copy paper into little pieces.

If you’re working with children who don’t have much strength yet, make small cuts in the paper to help them tear.

Next, prepare a circular piece of construction paper to be Santa’s face and apply double-sided tape where the beard would be.

Stick the torn bits of copy paper onto the taped area to represent the beard.

Glue the face and Santa hat onto a backing sheet, and use round stickers for the eyes—and it’s done! The overhanging beard gives the piece a humorous finish.
