Crafts made using familiar materials and scrap are a great experience for both children and adults.

Instead of buying something new, using items that would otherwise be thrown away can also contribute to the SDGs.

The items you’ll need are: a toilet paper roll, construction paper cut into parts, glue, double-sided tape or paste, red pom-poms, a black pen, and rubber bands.

When attaching the pom-poms, it’s a good idea to secure them with rubber bands while they dry.

Stylish snowflake

December Wall Decorations: “Snowflakes” — Stylish Handmade Christmas Ornaments Easily Made with Templates

Let’s make delicate yet eye-catching snowflakes.

You’ll need two sheets of white drawing paper (size 16-cut), a template, scissors, glue, a stapler, and a ruler.

You can also use copy paper or origami paper, but using drawing paper will give you larger, sturdier snowflakes! For variations, try adding color with paint thinned generously with water, or decorate with sparkling rhinestone stickers.

Hope this helps you enjoy the run-up to Christmas!

Cute yarn paper plate decoration

[Preschool Craft] Perfect for Making Christmas Decorations! Yarn Trees

Here’s an idea for an easy, seasonal decoration.

First, prepare a paper plate and paint it navy blue to create the base.

Wrap some clear tape around the tip of green yarn, then punch holes in the plate in the shape of a Christmas tree.

Thread the yarn through the holes, and the outline of the tree will gradually appear.

Once the shape looks right, attach decorative stickers and a star ornament to complete the tree.

You can add white round stickers around it to create a snowy atmosphere.

Finally, punch a hole at the top and tie a ribbon, and your cute decoration is finished.

With color and decoration tweaks, it’s a fun winter craft to enjoy with children.

Three-dimensional Christmas tree wall

Decorate your December wall with a three-dimensional Christmas tree – winter bulletin board made with templates and colored construction paper

Even if you can’t display a real Christmas tree, this is a lovely idea to brighten up your room.

When you think of Christmas, many people probably picture a tree, right? This time, let’s make a three-dimensional, charming Christmas tree using construction paper.

The materials you’ll need are green construction paper, red construction paper (and other colors if you like), a template, scissors, a stapler, glue, and a ruler.

It’s also fine to choose any colors you like for the construction paper besides green.

Since some steps in making the tree involve small, detailed work, it’s best for children to do this together with a teacher or guardian.
