Forest Christmas – Satomi Hagiwara

With wax-resist art, the crayon lines and the way the paint shows up are different every time—so fun, right? For this Christmas garland using the resist technique, have kids draw freely with crayons on white drawing paper, then paint over it so the patterns magically appear.

Once it’s dry, cut the paper into boot and star shapes to transform it into a cute garland! Watching the patterns emerge is like magic and gets kids excited.

Let’s make a garland and boost the Christmas spirit!

Making a cute snowman with straws is sure to get kids excited.

For this craft, use construction paper and cut out the snowman’s face and body with scissors.

If you lightly sketch the snowman’s outline in pencil beforehand, it gives children good practice using scissors, so it’s highly recommended.

Dip the tip of a straw—cut into a broom-like fringe—into paint and stamp it onto the paper to create adorable, snowflake-like patterns.

It could also be fun to bundle several straws together with a rubber band to make a larger snowflake stamp.

Wreath made from toilet paper rolls

@niconico_mama

[Christmas Craft ❤︎] I tried painting a Christmas wreath with a toilet paper roll!#Christmas CraftChristmas crafts#PaintPlay

‘Sorry for Being Cute (feat. Kopi)’ – HoneyWorks

When kids find a toilet paper roll, their eyes light up and they tell you they want to make something, don’t they? For this craft, cut one end of a toilet paper roll into fringe like a broom, dip it in paint, and stamp it onto construction paper in a wreath shape.

If you vary the width of the cuts, the patterns will change—that’s a fun tip.

Try not to leave too many gaps; a fuller look makes the wreath more festive.

Toilet paper rolls are easy for children to hold and are perfect for craft activities!

Tokotoko Reindeer

Arts and crafts play: A waddling, moving! Toko-toko Reindeer

When it comes to Santa Claus’s friends, you think of reindeer, right? The way reindeer toddle along slowly makes them easy for children to follow with their eyes, and it seems like great stimulation for brain and visual development.

Glue brown construction paper onto thick cardstock, then make two vertical slits on each side.

Fold the face and limbs along the slits to shape the reindeer.

If you cut the leg slits slightly diagonally, it will toddle more easily—that’s the key point.

Once it’s finished, attach the reindeer’s face and try playing by tilting an empty box to make a slope.

A classic Christmas tree made from a single sheet of construction paper

Classic Christmas Tree Made from a Single Sheet of Paper | Easy! | 100-Yen Store DIY | Parent-Child Christmas Craft

Here’s an idea for a Christmas tree that also works as a lampshade.

All you need is one sheet of green construction paper.

If you want to decorate the tree, prepare any embellishment parts you like.

First, cut the paper into a square, then fold it into a triangle twice.

You’ll find two pockets; open each and flatten them into squares.

With the center of the origami facing downward, fold both lower edges to the center line on both sides.

Unfold all the creases and squash-fold them into triangles.

The large triangles become the tree’s foliage, and the small triangle at the top becomes the trunk.

Cut slits into the foliage to create the jagged look of fir leaves.

For the trunk, roll the corners inward and glue the ends together to form a ring.

Decorate with your chosen parts, then place it over an LED light.
