December craft ideas! A collection of childcare activities to enjoy with Christmas and winter themes

A tree made by stuffing tissue paper into a bag

This is a Christmas tree craft made by stuffing tissue paper into a bag—perfect for little kids.

The fun part is using their fingers a lot: freely crumpling, tearing, and putting the tissue paper into the bag! After they’ve had plenty of play, crumple the tissue paper, pack it into a plastic bag, then shape it into a triangle while sealing it with tape to transform it into a tree.

To finish, add your favorite stickers and a star! If you want to hang it on the wall, attach a ribbon so it can be hooked.

You could also design it so Santa is peeking out, or even swap Santa’s face with the children’s photos for a charming result.

A Christmas tree that folds in six steps

Easy in 6 steps! Christmas Tree Origami [Santa Claus] Origami Xmas Tree

This is an origami Christmas tree that looks adorable yet is easy to make.

You can finish it in just six folds, so it’s a perfect project to do with kids.

Use a regular-size sheet of origami paper for the tree and a quarter-size sheet for the base.

It’s great in solid green, but patterned paper like gingham also makes it look stylish! For the finishing touch, have fun decorating together with the kids using round stickers or other craft embellishments.

[Craft] Sparkly 3D Snow Globe Suncatcher Made with a Paper Plate

[Winter Craft☃️] Sparkly 3D Snow Globe Suncatcher Made with Paper Plates / How to Make a 3D Snow Globe Suncatcher

Let’s decorate the window! Here’s an idea for a sparkling 3D snow globe sun catcher made with paper plates.

You’ll need: two paper plates, a clear protective sheet, a clear bag, colored cellophane, craft stuffing (cotton), ribbon, stickers, a craft knife, scissors, craft glue, a compass, and pens or paint.

First, cut out the inner section of both paper plates and attach the clear protective sheet.

Next, attach the base of the snow globe and decorate with colored film and cotton.

Finally, place a Christmas tree made from your child’s handprint or other drawings inside, then glue the two plates together to finish! It also looks adorable decorated with ribbon and stickers.

Mini tree made with pine cones

[Christmas Craft] How to Make a Cute Mini Christmas Tree with Pine Cones! [Nursery School/Kindergarten]

You can make a mini Christmas tree using a pine cone.

First, if you’re using a pine cone you picked up, boil it and dry it to prevent bugs from appearing.

Paint the pine cone with acrylic paint.

Mixing green and yellow gives a nice finish.

Next, use white paint to create a snowy effect.

The key is to dab the paint with just the tip of the brush without using water.

Finally, decorate it.

Use beads and pom-poms to make it look cute.

It’s lovely as a room decoration, and it also makes a nice gift for parents or guardians!

Christmas card

Super Easy: Three Cute, Simple Handmade Cards You Can Make with Kids [Christmas/Birthday]

Colorful Christmas cards alone can heighten the excitement for the holidays, can’t they? Try adding Christmas-themed decorations with drawings or stickers, or even making pop-up elements—by increasing the steps to match your child’s age, the anticipation as you work toward completion grows, too.

Not only is it fun to keep or display the card yourself, but creating one as a gift for someone else may let your child enjoy the process with a different feeling than usual.

It’s a project we highly recommend—seeing the finished card is sure to boost everyone’s spirits.
