December origami! Simple ideas for Santas and wreaths that kids can enjoy in childcare

Cute Minnie Santa origami

[Origami] How to make a Santa Claus with one sheet | Santa Claus instructions (using only 1 sheet)

Let’s make a Minnie Santa with origami! It’s cute to stick on the wall as is, and it would also look great combined with other Christmas-themed origami pieces to create a garland or hanging decoration.

First, use one sheet of origami paper to make the face, body, and hat.

Then use several other sheets to make the ears, bow, and scarf.

Since there are parts that require cutting, prepare scissors, a pen for drawing the face, and glue for assembly.

There aren’t any complicated steps, but because you’ll be putting several pieces together, fold each part carefully, one by one.

[Origami] Snowman

Origami: Snowman with a hat and scarf from a single sheet [Origami] Snowman with hat and scarf (using only one sheet)

This origami snowman is perfect for December, when it’s also the season of snow.

A snowman is made by placing one snowball on top of another, right? With a clever folding method, you can express the two stacked snowballs using just a single sheet of origami paper.

You can also make a scarf around the snowman’s neck.

If you use polka-dot or patterned paper, the pattern becomes the scarf, making it extra cute.

You can draw the eyes and mouth yourself, so each snowman has its own personality.

You can stick them on a wreath or a calendar, so try arranging them in different ways to expand the range of your creations.

A Christmas garland with just four folds

[Christmas Garland] Christmas garland origami — only four folds! Christmas decoration origami, 4-fold

A Christmas garland to brighten up your walls, with each piece incredibly simple to make—just four folds.

First, fold the origami paper in half into a triangle and open it.

Then fold one side toward the crease, fold the other side toward the center crease, and fold in the remaining flap to finish.

Thread a string through the last folded section and secure the end with cellophane tape so it won’t slip off.

Using Christmas-patterned origami paper makes it extra cute.

It’s also fun to decorate by drawing on the paper or adding stickers.
