Advent calendar made with paper chains
How about making an Advent calendar to count down to Christmas Day? You can spend the days leading up to Christmas with your children, full of excitement and anticipation! Here, we introduce an Advent calendar made with a paper chain.
Making paper chains is also great training to help develop children’s fine motor skills.
Plus, because you cut off each link from the bottom in order to count down, even small children who don’t yet grasp dates can visually understand how many days are left until Christmas.
If you add motifs like Santa, reindeer, or snowmen to the top of the chain, it will really enhance the Christmas atmosphere!
Santa and the Christmas Cake
Santa and cake are must-haves for Christmas.
If these two are on the wall, the kids are sure to get excited! Using construction paper, make Santa’s red outfit and hat, as well as his face and white beard.
For the cake, it’s best to finish it colorfully with lots of colors so it looks delicious and full of different ingredients.
Try decorating with different scenes: Santa about to eat the cake, or Santa bringing the cake as a present, and more.
Santa and Reindeer Wreath
Let’s make a Santa and Reindeer wreath together with children who are excited for Christmas! This wreath is easy to create—just make the Santa and reindeer parts and connect them into a circle.
Since you won’t need scissors or glue, you can enjoy making it together with peace of mind.
Have fun adding originality by drawing Santa’s and the reindeer’s eyes and noses, or use round stickers for a quick and simple look.
It’s sure to capture children’s anticipation for Christmas and become a fun craft that brightens up the winter season!
Santa wreath
Would you like to try making a Santa wreath with a soft, gentle look? It’s a wall decoration featuring a Santa motif that’s perfect for Christmas, and making it together with children will create lasting memories.
First, cut the template into the shape of the wreath base.
Next, wrap yarn around the base to create the beard, then use felt fabric to make Santa’s hat.
Attach a pom‑pom nose and glasses made by bending wire.
Add fluffy trim to the edge of the hat, and finish by applying blush to the cheeks.
Have adults help with the tricky parts, and enjoy crafting an authentic Christmas item.
Santa Claus on a tree swing
Let’s make a cute Santa on a tree-shaped swing that captures a rare, relaxed moment for busy Santa! We’ll make Santa himself out of origami.
When folding, position him as if he’s sitting on the swing.
The swing is made from green yarn and origami.
Attach the origami swing seat to the middle of the yarn.
Then use double-sided tape to seat Santa on the swing and gather the ends of the yarn together.
Finally, attach a star to the gathered end of the yarn, and your Santa on a tree-shaped swing is complete!

Santa with a handprint beard and a sticker-decorated tree
Let’s make a craft that turns children’s cute handprints into Santa’s beard.
First, prepare an oval sheet of construction paper for Santa’s face and an origami paper folded into a triangle.
The origami will be Santa’s body, so patterned paper is recommended.
Next, use white paint to make the children’s handprints on the construction paper.
Once the paint is dry, the teacher should cut out the handprints with scissors.
Then, glue the Santa parts together with the children.
You can also pre-cut construction paper into a tree shape and let the children enjoy decorating it with stickers—this will complete a Christmas-themed craft.
Three-dimensional Santa Claus
Three-dimensional crafts make you want to reach out and touch them, and they really spark children’s curiosity! Let’s add a bit of dimension to a Santa wall decoration to draw attention.
Instead of making the whole Santa three-dimensional, it’s also great to give just part of the face—like Santa’s signature fluffy white beard—some depth.
Using white cotton, fabric, or tissue paper, you can create a fluffy beard that looks just like the real Santa’s.
Make the face and body parts with construction paper, then attach the finished beard, and you’ll have a slightly 3D Santa ready to display!
