[Childcare] Perfect for December wall displays! A collection of Christmas tree ideas

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.
20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

Cold winter days make you want to add warm, handmade decorations to your room, don’t they? Creating a Christmas tree on the wall in December is a fun way to enjoy the season together with children.

In this article, we introduce ideas that brighten up your space: a fabric tree that suits a Japanese-style room, a modern design made with wire, and a stylish wall display adorned with poinsettias.

From easy crafts to more elaborate projects, we offer a variety of decoration methods you can choose from based on your children’s ages.

It’s exciting to think you can make Christmas decorations using everyday paper plates, isn’t it? With this craft, you can use paper plates to create a Christmas tree and bell ornaments.

The method is simple: start by painting the paper plates with paint.

Use a hole punch to thread the hanging string; for the bells, slightly larger jingle bells are recommended because they produce a clearer sound.

For the tree, cut a paper plate into four equal sections and assemble them into a tree shape.

Adding round stickers will make the tree sparkle and enhance the festive feel.

These would also work great as Christmas ornaments.

Mini tree made with pine cones

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

Mini tree made with pine cones

You can make a mini Christmas tree using pine cones.

If you’re using pine cones you picked up, boil them and let them dry to prevent bugs.

Paint the pine cones with acrylic paint.

Mixing green and yellow gives a nice finish.

Next, use white paint to represent snow.

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

Finally, decorate them.

Add cute touches with beads and pom-poms.

They look adorable as room decor and also make great gifts for parents or guardians!

Felt Christmas tree

Let’s make a soft, gentle-looking Christmas tree using fluffy felt fabric.

First, create the base tree.

After cutting two pieces of fabric for the tree, mark the spots where the ornaments will go and sew on snap buttons.

Attach a ribbon at the top for hanging on the wall, then sew the two pieces of fabric together to finish the base.

Decorate the tree with Christmas-themed items like Santa and reindeer.

It’s a versatile idea that kids can enjoy too—have them attach their favorite pieces to the buttons.
