[December Wall Displays] Cute Winter Craft Ideas You Can Use Beyond Christmas!

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

When it comes to December wall decorations, Christmas is the classic choice, but it’s also a time when we want to create a cozy, heartwarming atmosphere.

Here are some cute wall decor ideas perfect for this season—like snowmen, warm quilts, and adorable bears—that gently wrap children’s hearts in comfort! Even beyond Christmas themes, you’ll find plenty of tips to create wonderful winter walls that make kids smile and feel warm inside.

Be sure to bring a gentle touch of winter into your indoor space.

Snowflake Tree

When it comes to December’s main event—Christmas—the perfect wall decoration is a snowflake tree.

Paste on snowflakes with various patterns to create a festive Christmas tree.

Use blue or light blue paper to make the base of the tree, then decorate it with snowflake ornaments.

Adding a ribbon or a large snowflake to the top will make it even more glamorous.

There are snowflake designs ranging from simple to intricate, so discussing and creating them with the children will make the activity even more exciting!

[Kirigami] Poinsettia

[Origami] Poinsettia / Paper-Cut Flower (57) 🎄 Poinsettia Origami

[Kirigami] Poinsettia

The bright red flower you start seeing as the Christmas season approaches is the poinsettia.

It’s a classic motif for Christmas decorations, and adding it to a wall display brings a festive pop of vibrant red.

Here, we introduce a method that incorporates the paper-cutting technique.

You’ll use two sheets of origami paper.

The steps are: fold the origami, cut it with scissors, and finally add creases to create the petal patterns.

As a guideline, children aged four and up can join the activity together with their teachers.

[Origami] Ribbon

You might decorate the wall and still feel something is missing.

In times like that, it’s handy to know how to fold a ribbon out of origami.

The folding method is simple, yet the three-dimensional look makes it very cute.

The finished origami can match gift wrapping or character-themed wall decorations, and it can also be hung like ornaments on a Christmas tree wall display.

By the way, using red origami gives it a Christmas feel, while pale pink creates a wintry atmosphere.

Christmas Night

Christmas Night

This decoration looks like a snapshot of Santa delivering presents on Christmas night.

It depicts children sleeping inside the house and Santa arriving with gifts.

By using black cardstock to represent the night and incorporating plenty of Christmas colors inside the home, it creates a festive Christmas atmosphere.

Because the design has a sense of story, simply making this decoration may heighten the feeling of anticipation for Christmas.

Christmas present

When it comes to what children look forward to at Christmas, it’s presents.

That’s why I’d like to introduce a wall decoration featuring Christmas presents.

It looks cute on its own on the wall, and it’s easy to pair with Christmas tree or Santa Claus wall decorations.

There are many ways to make it, but I recommend creating the ribbon part first and attaching it afterward.

That way, it will have a more three-dimensional finish.

Why not make several in different colors while imagining how happy the children will be?
