Create with Disney characters! Recommended wall display ideas for December

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.

Snow Geese

They’re the little snowman characters that appear in “Frozen Fever.” Since they pop up every time Elsa sneezes, it makes sense to make lots of them without it feeling odd.

Their simple design is another key feature, so with construction paper and the like, anyone can easily make them.

Precisely because the steps are simple, small differences when cutting the circles can bring out the maker’s personality.

Smiles are the standard, but it also sounds fun to create Snowgies with a variety of expressions.

Duffy & Friends Tree

A Christmas tree is an essential motif in December, and incorporating cute Duffy designs will make the anticipation for Christmas stand out even more.

Create designs of Duffy and his friends, along with Christmas symbols like Santa and bells, and stick them onto green circles.

Arrange the circles in a triangle like a tree, place a star at the top, and a flowerpot at the bottom to complete it.

The triangular arrangement is flexible, so letting children place them freely can also help you see which characters are their favorites.

Tsum Tsum and Christmas Presents

These Tsum Tsum-style characters are a big hit with little kids, too.

Disney characters are simplified and super-deformed, making them extra cute.

Since almost any character can be made using basically the same-sized round shapes, it’s easy to give it a try.

Without adding a mouth, you can express cuteness just by adjusting the balance of the round eyes and nose.

Then just add ears or the character’s signature features.

You can’t resist the goofy expressions of the characters peeking out from exciting Christmas presents that get everyone in a festive mood.

Tsum Tsum Tree

The hugely popular puzzle game Disney Tsum Tsum is also renowned for its charming appeal of Disney characters rendered in a round, simple style.

Using the Tsum Tsum design as inspiration, you can even create dream crossovers of characters from various works.

If you incorporate elements of a Christmas tree—an iconic motif of December—you can heighten the festive excitement, making it even more fun.

Just like stacking Tsums in the game, arrange the combined character designs in a triangular layout.

Finish it off by placing a star at the top, and your Tsum Tsum tree is complete.

To make it read clearly as a tree, it’s also recommended to include winter-themed characters like those from Frozen.

Peter Pan

Since its release in 1953, Peter Pan has been beloved by many.

Among its most memorable moments is surely the scene where Peter Pan and the children fly through the sky.

If you recreate that scene as paper cutouts and put them on your wall, you can give your room a magical, dreamlike atmosphere.

Make the flying scene smaller in silhouette, and display colorful characters like Tinker Bell larger and in color to enhance the visual impact.

You could also have the characters hold seasonal items to match the time of year.

Presents and Duffy & Friends

Adorable Duffy and his friends.

How about arranging them in a Christmas style and decorating your wall? For example, you could create original wall decor with ideas like LinaBell peeking out of Santa’s stocking or ShellieMay dressed as a reindeer.

You could also make a scene where everyone is eating cake together or holding presents.

If you’re stuck for ideas, try looking at inspirations shared on social media.

And of course, adding friends like Donald Duck and Goofy around Mickey will make the room even more colorful.

Dressing the characters in Christmas style makes it even more festive—highly recommended as a wall decoration.
