Recommended Craft Ideas for 1-Year-Olds to Enjoy in Daycare in December

Socks with a pudding cup stamp

Turn store-bought pudding cups into adorable stamps! Use them as tools for your craft.

First, prepare boot shapes out of construction paper.

If you have several colors, the children can choose their favorites.

Next, use the rims of empty pudding cups or lactic-acid drink containers to stamp patterns onto the paper.

Let the children stamp as much as they like until they’re satisfied.

Once the paint dries, write each child’s name on a mini snowman made from construction paper and stick it onto the boot.

You’ll end up with creations that showcase each child’s individuality through their stamping.

To make it, tear the tissue paper however you like and stick it onto three layers of OPP tape.

Create a frame with cardboard, cut out Christmas-themed shapes from construction paper, and attach them—and you’re done! When you hold it up to a light, it glows softly and feels so calming.

Handmade party hat

Easy: Making Christmas Hats with Construction Paper for Infants to Preschoolers

Let’s make some triangular party hats that will be perfect for a Christmas party! Roll a piece of construction paper cut into a fan shape to form the hat.

Then, attach a yarn pom-pom to the very top point.

Finally, add an elastic string so the hat stays on when worn.

This step is difficult for infants (0-year-olds), so the teacher should handle the assembly.

Let the children decorate the hats with stickers! Prepare several types of stickers so they can choose their favorites.

Bill of Exchange Tree

Handprint art ⭐︎ Christmas tree ⭐︎ pon pon channel ⭐︎

Many people have created handprint art to commemorate special days like birthdays or preschool graduation ceremonies.

Let’s try adapting that handprint art into a Christmas tree! First, draw the tree trunk on a sheet of colored construction paper.

Next, make handprints using green paint.

Using green paint on a red background will create a festive Christmas atmosphere.

Adding slight variations to the green color will also make it easier to tell whose handprint is whose.

Of course, you can use paints other than green, too! Finally, decorate with the words “Merry Christmas,” ornaments, stars, and snow to complete it.

It will make a lasting memory, so give it a try for inspiration.

Christmas tree made with newspaper stamping

You might feel that making a Christmas tree as a craft is a bit complicated.

But by using newspaper stamps, even 0- and 1-year-olds can create wonderful trees.

First, crumple up some newspaper, apply green or light green paint, and stamp it onto construction paper.

Make the stamps a size that’s easy for children to hold.

Once the paint dries, the teacher cuts it into a tree shape.

Then have the children stick on ornaments you prepared from construction paper.

It will become a tree that reflects the children’s own free expression.

Christmas wreath with cardboard stamps

Let’s use a cardboard stamp to make a Christmas wreath.

You can use the stamp to create a fluffy wreath texture.

First, cut the cardboard to a suitable size and roll it up.

Next, draw a circle on construction paper and stamp along the outline of the circle.

Mixing green and light green looks beautiful.

Once the paint dries, attach the construction paper to a red backing and decorate the wreath with round stickers.

Finally, add a big ribbon to finish! Making this bright, festive wreath will really boost the Christmas spirit.

A soft, gentle touch makes a striking impression! Here’s an idea for a pom‑pom tree using 3D puffs.

You’ll need white construction paper, indigo construction paper, 3D puffs, paint, and cotton swabs.

To make it, dip the 3D puffs in paint and stamp them onto the paper.

Once dry, cut the paper into a tree shape.

On the indigo background paper, use a cotton swab dipped in white paint to add falling snow, then attach the tree.

Decorate the area under the tree with cutouts shaped like presents and toys for a lovely finish! Give it a try.
