Santa and Presents

For children who are looking forward to Santa coming to their homes at Christmas, we recommend making wall decorations with a Santa and presents theme.

Create pieces featuring December-perfect characters, like illustrations of Santa or a reindeer peeking out from a gift box.

Displaying the finished artwork in a child’s room will make the wait for Christmas even more exciting.

If you’re crafting together with kids, be sure to prepare items like ribbons and stickers.

Wreath tree

By decorating with festively adorned wreaths, this wall display makes Christmas even more exciting.

Gathering wreaths made by the children to complete the piece will give them a sense of purpose and accomplishment.

It’s also recommended to encourage children’s creativity by letting them choose ribbon colors and how to wrap them.

Displaying it on the school’s walls or at the entrance may make the children look forward to seeing the wall decoration every day.

Perfect for wall decorations too! A perfectly round snowman.

Let’s make a cute, perfectly round snowman using paper plates and paper cups.

Cut off a few centimeters from the bottom of a paper cup.

Glue the cut paper cup to the center of a paper plate.

Cut a circle out of white construction paper, draw the snowman’s face on it, and glue it onto the paper cup.

Finish by adding the snowman’s arms made from pipe cleaners and decorating with round stickers on the paper plate.

You’ll have a round, adorable, three-dimensional snowman that also looks great as a wall decoration.

Try decorating your wall with a collection of unique, personality-filled snowmen!

Santa with a handprint beard and a sticker-decorated tree

Let’s try a craft that turns children’s cute handprints into Santa’s beard.

First, prepare an oval piece of construction paper for Santa’s face and a sheet of origami paper folded into a triangle.

The origami will be Santa’s body, so patterned paper is recommended.

Next, use white paint to take the children’s handprints on the construction paper.

Once the paint dries, the teacher should cut out the handprints with scissors.

Then have the children help glue Santa’s parts together.

If you also pre-cut construction paper into a tree shape and let the children enjoy sticking on stickers, you’ll have a Christmas-themed craft all finished.

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!

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.

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.
