[Childcare] December Wall Decoration Ideas: Festive Crafts for Christmas and Winter

Handprint Christmas wreath

Work No. 033 / Making a wreath with 1-year-olds [Handmade toys by a nursery teacher]

With a handprint Christmas wreath, even small children can take the lead and enjoy the activity.

It’s easy to make: first, have them press their handprints onto construction paper, then draw a face and a sack on them to turn the prints into Santa Claus.

Finally, cut out the handprint Santas and attach them to the wreath to finish.

An adult may want to help with just the final step.

Also, be careful because small children might lick their paint-covered hands.

In addition, please take proper measures to protect the room from getting messy.

Santa with a handprint beard and a sticker-decorated tree

[Kindergarten/Daycare] December Handprint Santa with a Beard – Art/Craft Project

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.

Bill of Exchange Tree

Handprint art ⭐︎ Christmas tree ⭐︎ pon pon channel ⭐︎

Many people make handprint art to commemorate occasions like birthdays or kindergarten graduations.

Let’s try adapting that handprint art into a Christmas tree! First, draw the trunk of the tree on colored construction paper.

Next, make handprints with green paint.

Using green paint on a red background creates a festive Christmas feel.

If you slightly vary the shades of green, it becomes easier to tell whose handprint is whose.

Of course, you can use colors other than green, too! Try creating an artistic handprint tree.

Finally, add decorations like the words “Merry Christmas,” ornaments, stars, and snow—it will look wonderful! It’ll make lasting memories, so give it a try.

Snowflakes made with origami

[Origami/Craft] Snowflakes [Parent and Child / Can be made from ages 3–4]

Let’s make a fluffy, cute snowflake out of origami.

Although the finished piece looks very intricate and difficult, it’s surprisingly easy to make, so it’s a great craft for children old enough to use scissors.

Make six cuts in the origami paper, first sharpen the tip and glue it, then skip one section at a time, roll it, and glue each part together.

Flip the remaining sections to the back and glue them on the opposite side.

Make six identical pieces, then glue them together at the edges with the ends meeting in the center to finish.

If you use small origami paper, it makes a perfect ornament.

Paper plate Christmas wreath

Paper Plate Wreath [Christmas Craft] [How to Make] [Easy, for Ages 1 and Up]

Many people prepare paper plates for Christmas parties, but if you “don’t want any leftovers,” why not make a paper plate wreath to hang on the wall? It’s also a great craft to do with young children! Fold a paper plate in half and cut it to make the wreath base.

Paint it green, then tear and stick on origami paper, and add pompoms or yarn to make it look like a real wreath.

When using glue or paste, be careful to prevent children from accidentally swallowing it.

Punch a hole at the top and thread a ribbon through, and it will transform into a lovely wall decoration.
