Cute tissue paper wreath

[Childcare Craft] 0–1-year-olds: Tissue Paper Wreath, Nursery Teacher, Christmas Wreath

The step of rolling and sticking is so much fun! Let me share an idea for making a tissue paper wreath.

Before you begin, prepare a paper plate with the center cut out, white and green tissue paper cut into manageable pieces, and decorative parts like Santa and star shapes.

Have the children crumple the tissue paper into little balls and stick them onto the rim-only paper plate where you’ve applied glue.

Once they’ve gone all the way around with the tissue paper, let them place the decorative parts—made into stickers with double-sided tape—wherever they like.

Punch a hole at the top of the paper plate, thread a string through, and your Christmas wreath is complete.

Christmas tree lacing

Christmas Tree Threading Craft: A Nursery Teacher Explains an Easy Method Even Infants Can Do!

Here’s a Christmas tree craft idea that kids can enjoy while practicing lacing.

For preparation, cut out a Christmas tree and ornaments from construction paper.

Since you’ll be threading pipe cleaners through both, punch holes in them beforehand.

First, thread one end of a pipe cleaner through the tree and secure it so it won’t slip out.

Then, let the children choose their favorite ornaments and thread them onto the pipe cleaner.

Once several are on, secure the other end of the pipe cleaner to finish.

Prepare ornaments with various motifs to create a lovely Christmas tree!

Let’s make a big Christmas tree!

[Ages 0–2] Let’s make a Christmas tree!

This is an idea where you put a big Christmas tree made from construction paper on the wall and let the children freely decorate it with ornaments.

Since it’s for infants (0-year-olds), please prepare the ornament bases in advance by cutting them out of construction paper.

Let the children draw on the bases with crayons or stick on stickers to create lovely ornaments.

Once the ornaments are finished, decorate the tree with them! If you prepare bases in a variety of motifs, the tree will look even more festive.

How to make handprint reindeer and Santa

[Handprint Christmas Craft] How to Make a Reindeer and Santa (For Ages 0–2)

Here are some craft ideas for making Santa Claus and a reindeer using handprints.

For Santa, use a handprint to create his beard, and for the reindeer, use a handprint to form the face.

Since Santa’s beard uses an upside-down handprint, make sure to pay attention to the direction when stamping.

The faces are made with round stickers, so the children can also enjoy sticking the stickers.

Once Santa and the reindeer are finished, glue them onto a base with a construction paper Christmas tree attached.

Be sure to decorate the tree with round stickers as ornaments, too!

This is a Santa Claus wall decoration idea that children can enjoy at different difficulty levels, from infant to preschool classes.

In the infant class, children can aim to complete their work by drawing or pasting Santa’s face on a paper plate with crayons, while in the preschool class, they can start from cutting the paper plate with scissors and work through to completion.

Using cotton, white decorative balls, and googly eye stickers adds a three-dimensional effect.

The wall will look festive, and it might make children look forward to coming to school.

You can easily make this using simple materials from a 100-yen shop.

First, roughly cut colored construction paper in your favorite colors.

Place a star-shaped template on top of parchment paper and secure it with tape.

Peel off the star together with the tape, then freely stick on the small pieces of the cut paper.

Add another layer of tape over the top, and cut along the star shape with scissors.

Finally, punch a hole and thread a string through it to complete the star ornament.

Using cellophane makes it translucent and more festive in the light, perfect for Christmas trees or wall decorations.

It’s a simple yet eye-catching craft that you can enjoy making with children.
