Handprint Christmas wreath

With a handprint Christmas wreath, even small children can take the lead and enjoy the activity.
It’s easy to make: first, have them press their handprints onto construction paper, then draw a face and a sack on them to turn the prints into Santa Claus.
Finally, cut out the handprint Santas and attach them to the wreath to finish.
An adult may want to help with just the final step.
Also, be careful because small children might lick their paint-covered hands.
In addition, please take proper measures to protect the room from getting messy.
Paper plate Christmas wreath

Many people prepare paper plates for Christmas parties, but if you “don’t want any leftovers,” why not make a paper plate wreath to hang on the wall? It’s also a great craft to do with young children! Fold a paper plate in half and cut it to make the wreath base.
Paint it green, then tear and stick on origami paper, and add pompoms or yarn to make it look like a real wreath.
When using glue or paste, be careful to prevent children from accidentally swallowing it.
Punch a hole at the top and thread a ribbon through, and it will transform into a lovely wall decoration.
Socks bag

After decorating the wall with a Christmas tree and Santa Claus, you might still feel something is missing.
That’s when you should try adding a stocking bag.
This is a wall decoration made by punching holes in a Santa Claus stocking cut from construction paper and threading a string through.
Because it sways gently, it adds a lively touch.
Since a hole punch is used during the making process, be sure to supervise carefully to prevent injuries.
By the way, it also works properly as a bag, so you can display it with items inside.
Christmas bell
If you want a three-dimensional decoration to create a festive Christmas atmosphere, these Christmas bells are a great choice.
Among the ideas introduced here, this one takes the most time, but the result is truly three-dimensional, giving it outstanding impact and ambiance.
Also, this decoration uses gold paper.
Since store-bought origami sets that include multiple colors often contain only about one sheet of gold paper, it’s a good idea to purchase gold-only origami.
Although it takes some effort, it makes the wall look spectacular—so give it a try.
Tree and snowflakes
If you want to add a festive touch to your walls, we recommend this tree and snowflake design.
This idea is made by layering multiple sheets of origami, cutting them into a tree shape, and sticking them on.
Because different parts of the origami are visible depending on the angle, a single decoration offers many appealing looks—that’s one of its charms.
As shown in the video, adding small items as accents will make it even more vibrant, so be sure to give it a try.
Stained-glass-style tree made with aluminum foil
Even stained glass, which might seem challenging, becomes an easy, fun project for kids if you use aluminum foil! Here, we introduce a sparkling, beautiful stained glass-style tree.
First, crumple aluminum foil to give it a wrinkled texture, place it inside a clear plastic file, and cut it into a triangle.
Decorate the edge of the file with masking tape and add your favorite stickers—done! Alternatively, draw a stained glass-style frame on the clear file with a black permanent marker and color it in, then place aluminum foil behind it to create a piece with a different vibe.
Enjoy adapting the activity to children’s ages and developmental stages!
