[Christmas Craft] Super Easy: How to Make a Reindeer Hat (Nursery/Kindergarten)

A reindeer hat that uses your child’s handprints as antlers is truly a one-of-a-kind original, isn’t it? If you attach handprints made with brown paint to a paper bag, you can create a reindeer hat.

Making the facial features—like the eyes and nose—out of origami gives it a more realistic look, but since scissors are involved, please take care to ensure safety.

Cut slits in the paper bag to fit the children’s head sizes, and you’ll have an adorable reindeer hat ready to wear!

Colorful Tree Made with Salt

The way the paint colors blend in salt painting is so mysterious and fascinating, isn’t it? For this project, draw a tree shape with wood glue and sprinkle salt over it.

Shake off the excess salt, then drip water-diluted paint from above—the colors will spread like neon and create a beautiful finish.

The key to salt painting is to sprinkle the salt before the glue dries.

You can try it not only on paper but also on fabric, so make your own original tree and brighten up Christmas!

Santa Claus with handprints

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

Here’s a recommended craft for three-year-olds: a handprint Santa Claus.

In this project, the beard of a Santa drawn or cut out from paper is represented using the child’s handprint.

You can add originality through the size of the hand and the way the print is stamped.

It’s also easy to adapt—such as using handprints to create a reindeer’s antlers, not just Santa.

You can make handprint art regularly and display them side by side at graduation as a keepsake.

The feeling of cool paint on the hands is intriguing and unique, so kids will likely enjoy the making process, too!
