[Childcare] For 4-Year-Olds! Fun December Craft Ideas

Great for scissor practice too! A three-dimensional star

[Christmas] Surprisingly easy! Make a 3D star with origami ⭐️ Perfect as a Christmas tree ornament too #Xmas #shorts #star

This is a method for making a three-dimensional star by cutting slits into a pentagon-shaped sheet of construction paper and using folds to add dimension.

First, turn a square sheet of construction paper into a pentagon.

Fold the paper in half horizontally to make a rectangle, then fold the two left corners down to meet the top and bottom edges to create triangular folds and make crease lines.

Once you have an X-shaped set of creases, fold the right half of the bottom edge up along the line at the lower right.

Flip the paper over, and use the creases to fold up the remaining section of the bottom edge.

Fold the paper in half so the left and right shapes overlap, then cut the top at a diagonal.

When you unfold it, the paper will be a pentagon.

Make slits along all the creases except the diagonal ones, and fold to form a star shape—done! Add a string to turn it into an ornament.

Turn the origami paper to the back and crease it in half.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the crease.

Shift the crease by folding the edge to align with the fold line.

Fold the left and right sides to meet the center line.

Fold the white section down to the edge.

After folding up both bottom corners of the white section, pull them upward.

Next, squash-fold so that the creases land on the corners.

Fold the edges with the image of reindeer antlers in mind.

Finally, fold the left and right sides diagonally so they cross slightly at the center, letting the “horns” peek out a bit, to form the body—and you’re done! Use round stickers or a pen to draw a cute face.

Take a square sheet of origami paper divided into four equal parts and fold it into a triangle three times.

Hold the corner that becomes the center of the origami, then round off the edge and cut off the tip.

Draw two curved lines up and down from the left edge to just before the right edge, and make cuts along those curves with scissors.

Open the paper, then glue the middle sections with the slits together at the center on all four sides.

Make another one the same way, rotate it slightly, and attach them back-to-back.

Finally, add a string for hanging, and it’s complete.

Snowflakes Made with Salt Painting

[Winter Craft] Let's Make Snowflakes with Salt Painting | Demonstration and Explanation by a Nursery Teacher

Perfect for winter crafts! Let me introduce how to make snowflakes with salt painting.

You will need salt, craft glue, construction paper, paint, and a tray.

First, place the construction paper in the tray and use the craft glue to draw snowflakes on the paper.

Next, sprinkle salt over the glued snowflakes.

If you gently shake the paper up, down, left, and right, the salt will stick evenly to the snowflake shapes.

Finally, use paint to add color to the snowflakes.

It’s also fun to watch the paint bleed into the salt.

Give it a try!

A Christmas wreath that’s fun to make

@rinmama_handmade♬ Cute heartwarming BGM(1490583) – sanusagi

Here’s an idea for a Christmas wreath made with tissue paper that 4-year-olds can enjoy making.

Materials: tissue paper, fabric, air-dry clay, a clear file folder, a wooden skewer or chopstick, wood glue, and decorations.

First, cut the tissue paper and fabric into roughly 2 cm × 2 cm squares.

Next, roll the clay into a rope and form it into a circle.

Place a clear file or similar on top and flatten it, then neaten the shape.

Using the chopstick, poke the cut tissue paper and fabric pieces into the clay circle, packing them closely.

Finally, attach decorations with wood glue, and it’s done.

It’s very simple and cute—give it a try!

Piping Hot Oden Production

I’m going to show you how to make warm oden that you’ll want to eat on a cold winter day! It’s easy enough for a four-year-old to make.

The materials are origami paper matching the oden ingredients, construction paper cut into a pot shape, glue, tissues, chopsticks, brown round stickers, and colored pens.

First, roll a tissue into a tube, attach a round sticker, and make chikuwa.

Fold black origami paper like an accordion, secure the middle with paper, and make kombu.

Next, fold brown origami using the “zabuton” fold and tuck the corners to make shiitake mushrooms.

Cut out egg and konnyaku shapes from construction paper, stick them onto chopsticks, and finally glue everything onto the pot-shaped construction paper to finish!
