For older kindergarteners: December crafts that 5-year-olds will love — ideas from flat to three-dimensional projects

Accordion-folded Christmas tree

[Craft Idea] Christmas Tree with Accordion Folding (December) (Senior Activities) (Early Childhood Education) (DIY) (Decoration) (Free-Standing)

A Christmas tree made by accordion-folding colored construction paper is a fun craft with a three-dimensional shape.

First, cut green construction paper into long, narrow strips and carefully accordion-fold them to create layers.

By placing a roll of packing tape’s cardboard core or a paper cup inside, you can make a stable, three-dimensional tree.

Layer the folded pieces from the top down to create a natural volume.

Decorate with stars and beads for a festive, eye-catching finish.

The process also helps practice fine motor skills, so children will be thoroughly engaged.

The finished tree is perfect for displaying on a tabletop.

This is a Christmas tree idea that’s easy to make with simple materials, fun to decorate, and gives a great sense of accomplishment.

A Christmas tree made with clay and tissue paper

@ouchiasobi_mii

@ouchiasobi_mii 👈 Nice to meet you (^^) I’d be happy if you check out my other posts too ✨✨ If you want to look back later, saving is handy 👍✨ /Totally hooked/ Fluffy Tree 🎄 Materials: - Paper plate (construction paper or colored paper works too) - Clay - Paint (I used acrylic) - Tissue paper (flower paper) - Cotton swabs In the video, the tissue paper colors are neatly separated, but when kids did it, we just mixed all kinds of colors and said it’s fine as long as you fill it up 😊 Try making your very own tree ♡#Christmas#ParentChildTime#StayHomeTime#ElementarySchoolMom#AtHomePlay

This is a Christmas tree mascot with a distinctive, softly textured look, made by combining clay and tissue paper.

First, shape the clay into a Christmas tree and coat the entire surface with glue.

Next, prepare tissue paper cut into small pieces, press them into the clay, and cover the surface.

It’s best to fill it in until the clay is hardly visible to create the effect of spreading leaves.

By choosing colors and arranging the tissue paper thoughtfully, you can create an even more beautiful Christmas tree.

Here are some tree craft ideas that even kids can make.

Prepare pipe cleaners, beads, clay, plastic bottle caps, toothpicks, and washi tape.

First, thread beads onto a pipe cleaner at equal intervals.

Once threaded, coil it into a spiral, then pull the inside upward to form a tree shape.

Fix the pipe cleaner to a toothpick painted brown, and insert it into clay packed inside the cap to secure it.

Decorate the top of the tree with a star, and finish by adorning the sides of the cap with washi tape.

Easy! Torn-paper Christmas tree

Let’s create a Christmas tree with torn-paper collage! Prepare a base with the tree trunk already glued on, and have the children tear several sheets of origami paper into small pieces.

If tearing is difficult, you can prepare pre-torn origami paper.

Apply glue in a triangle above the trunk, then attach the torn paper on top to form the tree.

Finish by decorating with round stickers as ornaments.

Mixing patterned origami with solid colors will make it look more festive.

Choose sticker colors that won’t be overpowered by the origami colors.

Pompom Stamping! Christmas Tree

@hoiku.labo

[Crafts for Ages 0–5] Stamp with a dabber! Christmas Tree 🎄❄#Childcare CraftingNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Drawers of ChildcareWith childrenEasy to makeMake and playPopular production#ChristmasInfant Craft⭐↓For details, see the comments↓⭐

♪ Original Song – Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Here’s a Christmas tree craft idea where you dab on color with stamps.

Prepare a tree template, stamps, paint, and drawing paper.

First, fix the tree template onto the base sheet and have the children stamp paint onto it.

Green is the main color, but adding a little white can make it look like a snow-covered tree.

Once the stamping is done, remove the template and glue on a trunk made from construction paper to finish.

After the paint dries, decorating with sticker ornaments could be fun, too.

Christmas activities for 0-year-olds

Christmas Activities for 0-Year-Olds

As part of a Christmas-themed activity, why not try making Christmas trees and ornaments? Use a stamp made by covering a lactic acid drink bottle with fabric to print patterns on construction paper, or decorate ornaments with stickers to make them festive.

In the end, you can even decorate a big tree drawn on the wall! Even children who don’t yet understand what Christmas is will surely deepen their understanding while having fun through play.

Prepare ornaments and stickers with different motifs and colors, and let the children choose for themselves.
