Cute Santa Claus wall displays! A collection of perfect ideas for December childcare (1–10)
Santa Claus paper plate craft
https://www.tiktok.com/@peta_peta_anyo/video/7436681167174307079This is a Santa Claus wall decoration idea that children can enjoy at different difficulty levels, from infant to preschool classes.
In the infant class, children can aim to complete their work by drawing or pasting Santa’s face on a paper plate with crayons, while in the preschool class, they can start from cutting the paper plate with scissors and work through to completion.
Using cotton, white decorative balls, and googly eye stickers adds a three-dimensional effect.
The wall will look festive, and it might make children look forward to coming to school.
Make it with toilet paper rolls! Nordic-style Santa Claus

Instead of buying something new, using items that would otherwise be thrown away can also contribute to the SDGs.
The items you’ll need are: a toilet paper roll, construction paper cut into parts, glue, double-sided tape or paste, red pom-poms, a black pen, and rubber bands.
When attaching the pom-poms, it’s a good idea to secure them with rubber bands while they dry.
Swing Santa
https://www.tiktok.com/@chooobo2/video/7429662461395062024It’s a unique idea to cut construction paper into a fluffy wreath shape and imagine it as a swing! Using water balloons to dab yellow-green and green paint onto the paper adds a sense of dimension.
Once the paint dries, try decorating the wreath with stickers and holographic origami paper.
Making it with children will create a wall display that really showcases their individuality! If you seat a Santa Claus made from construction paper, round stickers, and pipe cleaners on a tree-themed base, it looks like he’s riding on a wreath swing—so cute!
A stylish Santa made with lace paper
https://www.tiktok.com/@haruharo_made/video/7297909269171588360By adjusting the steps, this is a wall display idea that children from infants to preschoolers can enjoy.
For the infant class, you could include steps like coloring lace paper with a sponge and attaching Santa’s facial parts.
For the preschool class, children could use scissors to freely complete elements like Santa’s eyebrows and even the shape of his face.
It’s an idea that seems likely to help children engage enthusiastically with seasonal events and dive into making activities, so please try incorporating it into your program and displaying the results on the wall.
Christmas Chianti by a Child Santa
https://www.tiktok.com/@haruharo_made/video/7305695151471545608The sight of a child dressed up as Santa Claus is so adorable, isn’t it? The materials are construction paper, red paint, a sponge, scissors, construction paper cut into a poncho shape, construction paper cut into a face shape, double-sided tape, cotton, a pen, and round stickers.
The key point is evoking Santa’s outfit with a red poncho and fluffy white cotton.
Letting the child hold a candy stick is also a unique idea that adds a childlike touch.
Please give it a try!
Climbing Santa made with paper cups!
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoikushi_bank/video/7032992938426649857Not just for decoration! This is a unique idea you can decorate with, move, and enjoy.
All you need are a paper cup, a utility knife, scissors, a straw, tape, a Santa Claus cutout made from construction paper, and kite string.
It creates a wall scene that looks as if Santa Claus is secretly trying to slip into the house through the chimney on Christmas night.
For the background, use dark-colored construction paper or poster paper that evokes nighttime and decorate it with star motifs.
Adding a brick-style chimney will further enhance the imagery.
Ten Santas

You get a lively impression from the Santas with different expressions and movements, don’t you? A wall decorated with a smiling Santa Claus will surely make the children feel excited.
In addition to Santa, decorating with the words “Merry Christmas” in Christmas colors like red and green will make it even more festive! It’s also a good idea to finish it off colorfully with motifs like the gift boxes the children are looking forward to, and stars.
For the background, darker colors like navy or black will help tie the whole look together.
