[Childcare] For 4-Year-Olds! Fun December Craft Ideas
December is shiwatsu, the month when even teachers are on the run.
Nursery school.
In kindergartens, there are plenty of fun crafts not only for Christmas.
Why not enjoy winter-only December crafts and feel the season together with the children? Here, we introduce December craft ideas recommended for four-year-olds.
Try making warm, cozy pieces using yarn and tissue paper, or create wonderful works while having fun with stamping activities.
Because we treat the children’s creations as artworks, we use the term “制作 (seisaku: creation/production)” in the text.

Three-dimensional and festive! Here’s an idea for a skeleton-style Christmas tree.
You’ll need colored film, glue, green construction paper, yellow construction paper, scissors, a brown toilet paper roll, and round stickers.
First, use glue to attach the colored film onto a clear film sheet.
Next, attach a Christmas tree frame made from the green construction paper and trim off any excess with scissors.
Finally, cut slits in the toilet paper roll and insert the tree to complete it! Decorating with round stickers or adding a star made from yellow construction paper is also adorable.

Materials: construction paper, clothespins, decorations like stars and a flowerpot, paint, round stickers, glue, and a thick straw.
First, dip the clothespin in paint and stamp on the paper to form the shape of a tree.
Glue a star on top and a flowerpot at the bottom, then decorate the tree with round stickers.
Finally, dip the straw in white paint and stamp any open areas on the paper to finish!
Warm Bear

Here’s a winter wall display made with crayon-resist painting that’s perfect for 4-year-olds! Materials: a backing sheet cut from construction paper (octavo size), bear parts, a tree, crayons, paint, and glue.
First, glue the bear parts together and draw the bear’s face with crayons.
On the hat and mittens made from white construction paper, draw patterns with a white crayon.
Once you’re done, paint over them with your favorite colors and enjoy the crayon-resist effect.
Next, draw any patterns you like on the backing sheet with crayons, then glue on the bear and the tree.
Finally, add the bear parts you decorated with the resist painting, and you’re all done!
Snowman made with wax-resist painting

Introducing an easy-to-make, cute snowman wall decoration! It’s perfect for 4-year-olds.
Materials: large construction paper (half-sheet size), two circle templates, snowman parts, paint, crayons, and glue.
First, draw snow with crayons on the construction paper, then paint over your drawing with your favorite paint to create a crayon-resist effect.
Next, cut out the snowman circles and glue them onto the background.
Finally, glue on the snowman parts and you’re done! It’s also cute to draw the snowman’s face with crayons—highly recommended.
Snowman made with paper cutting

Let’s make a snowman with scissors! Here are some ideas for creating a snowman using paper cutouts.
You’ll need two sheets of white origami paper, scissors, glue, crayons or colored pencils, a compass, and construction paper.
First, use one sheet of white origami paper to make the cutout design.
When cutting stacked paper, some parts can be tough, so it’s best to work together with a parent or teacher.
Next, use the other sheet of white origami paper to make the snowman’s face.
Drawing the eyes and nose with crayons makes it extra cute! Finally, glue everything onto the construction paper and you’re done! You can also cut the construction paper into a hat shape and put it on the snowman—it looks great.
Cute wreaths made with twigs

Here’s how to make a twig Christmas wreath that’s perfect for the holidays.
You’ll need five twigs, yarn, chenille stems (pipe cleaners), a ribbon, a pinecone, white paint, sequins, and nylon fishing line.
First, arrange the twigs into a pentagon to form the wreath, and secure the overlapping points with chenille stems.
Next, wrap yarn around it for decoration.
Add metallic chenille stems to decorate the top, then wrap green chenille stems around the wreath.
Tie a red ribbon, paint the pinecone with white paint, and stick sequins onto the pinecone using double-sided tape.
Finally, use fishing line to attach the ribbon and pinecone to the wreath—and you’re done!

Soap-bubble art creates unique patterns.
This time, let’s use the technique to make a snowman.
First, prepare some colored bubble solution.
Just mix soap solution into white paint thinned with water.
Dip a toilet paper roll core into the bubble solution and use it as a stamp so that two circles connect.
These will be the snowman’s head and body.
Once it’s dry, draw the face, hands, and a scarf with pens or crayons to finish a cute snowman.
