The holiday season is full of Christmas parties and events, which means lots of photo-taking too.

These Santa and reindeer photo props are easy to make: cut out and remove just the upper half of a paper plate, then crumple up tissue paper into balls.

Glue the crumpled tissue onto the plate to create Santa’s face.

Add a pom-pom and a triangle-cut Santa hat to the top, then attach a straw to the side as a handle—and you’re done! It also sounds fun to choose a theme for your photo props before making them.

This is a craft that kids and adults alike can enjoy, so definitely give it a try!

Foil art that shines like stained glass is captivating in both color and sparkle, and it looks like it can boost children’s focus and creativity.

Let’s cut cardboard into the shapes you want to make, such as stars or bells.

The key to foil art is making slits with scissors and randomly wrapping rubber bands around the cardboard.

Cover the rubber bands with aluminum foil and wrap it around the cardboard—this step is important too.

Gently smooth the aluminum foil from above and the rubber band patterns will emerge; then color them with oil-based markers to finish! It’s simple and easy to make, so have fun creating it.

A fluffy and cute Christmas tree

@hoikushisatomi

[New kind of art!?] Fluffy and cute Christmas craft 🎄Kids will love itNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Making Play#Production VideoChristmas partySatomi-senseiLife with childrenChristmas crafts

Original Song – [Childcare Creator] Satomi-sensei – [Childcare Creator] Satomi-sensei

It looks like a cute tree craft that makes you want to touch its fluffy texture.

Since it uses fine motor skills, it should be great stimulation for little hands.

Put water on torn tissue paper to soften it, then drain the excess moisture.

Mixing glue into the softened tissue paper is the key step for sticking it down well.

When you attach it to the sketched Christmas tree, be sure to cover any gaps to create a more vibrant look.

Adding beads or pom-poms could make it even cuter.

Give this fluffy-feel Christmas tree a try!

Reindeer made from paper cups

A reindeer made from a paper cup—perfect as a Christmas decoration or ornament! It’s a plus that you can make it easily with familiar materials.

To make it, simply paint the paper cup with paint and stick on the reindeer’s facial parts.

You can use parts the teacher has prepared in advance or even make use of round stickers.

Let the children try painting the paper cup and gluing on the reindeer parts! Even if the painting isn’t perfect or the pieces are a bit crooked, it turns out charming and unique.

Encourage the children to enjoy expressing themselves freely.

Ornaments made from toilet paper rolls

[Christmas Craft] Let's make ornaments! Materials: toilet paper rolls and origami paper! (Recommended for ages around 3 and up)

It would be fun to make Christmas ornaments using everyday toilet paper rolls, wouldn’t it? After cutting a toilet paper roll in half, wrap it with origami paper.

For Santa, the key is to stick on two colors of origami paper, each covering half.

When making parts like hats, beards, or antlers, it’s best to use sturdy paper such as construction paper so the shapes don’t deform easily.

Once you draw the face with colored pens, attach a string and hang it up! It might also be fun to make animals like bears or rabbits.

Christmas bell made with a cup

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

You know how you sometimes end up with empty yogurt containers after eating? Here’s a craft that transforms those empties into lovely Christmas bells.

Apply glue to the bottom of the container and wrap it with aluminum foil, then wrap the entire container with foil to form a bell shape.

The crinkled texture of the foil really enhances the bell’s look.

Next, punch two holes in the bottom of the container and thread a pipe cleaner through from the inside to create a handle.

Decorate with ribbons and round stickers, and you’ve got the perfect bell for Christmas.

Hang them up, and the festive atmosphere will really come to life!

A tree made with clothespin stamps

A Christmas tree made with clothespins seems like a great way to spark children’s imagination.

Creating a tree using the shapes of clothespins and paint lets them enjoy both creativity and combining different materials.

Make the trunk out of construction paper and glue it in place first.

Then, dip the clothespins in paint and press them like stamps to form the shape of the tree.

For younger children, lightly sketching the tree with a pencil beforehand may make stamping easier.

Finish by adding snow-like stamps using straws and decorating with round stickers.

Give it a try!
