December Origami! Simple Santa and Wreath Ideas for Fun in Childcare (21–30)
A torn-paper collage wreath and an origami Santa
As children grow into the preschool years, they can start thinking for themselves about how to arrange colors and patterns, even with simple tearing-and-pasting activities.
Why not make a wreath that puts that thinking power to use? For preparation, lightly mark a wreath shape on white construction paper with a pencil.
Let the children freely tear origami paper and paste the pieces with glue, using the penciled outline as a guide.
To create a lively wreath, it’s best to provide patterned origami paper.
Finally, glue a ribbon on top of the wreath and add a Santa made from origami to finish it off.
