I’ve been working as a certified care worker for 17 years. I’m Nanaka, a caregiving web writer. I decided to pursue this profession because I wanted a job that would help people. Having worked in day care for many years, I’ve experienced a wide variety of recreational activities. Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received. I’d be delighted to continue delivering writing that resonates with readers through caregiving-related articles. Thank you for your support.

Fluffy snowman made with tissue paper

[For December Wall Decor] Fluffy Tissue-Paper Snowman ❄️⛄️#Childcare Crafting Nursery teacher / Childcare worker #Drawers of Childcare #NurseryTeacherInTraining #NurseryTeacherThings With children drawing paper tissue paper flowers Paper plate craft Snowman
♪ Original Song – Craft Ideas for Childcare ♪ Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Here’s a craft idea for a snowman that could also become a wall decoration if you hang it with a string.

First, cut out the inside of a paper plate so only the rim remains, then glue on crumpled tissue paper.

Next, cut out a circular piece from construction paper for the head and a rectangular piece for the bucket hat.

Draw the face with a pen, attach the bucket, then glue it to the paper plate to finish.

It’s handy to pre-cut the tissue paper into sizes that are easy to crumple, but having the person making it tear the paper themselves can also be good finger exercise.

Paper Plate Snow Globe

Let’s make a paper-plate snow globe that looks beautiful when hung on a window and lit from behind.

First, cut out the inner part of a paper plate and attach a circular piece of laminate film.

Next, from the back, cover the entire opening with tissue paper cut into a circle, and seal the adhesive edge with OPP tape.

Finally, stick a construction-paper snowman onto the front of the laminate film, and you’re done.

In this idea, colorful tissue paper is used for a vibrant finish, but I think it would also look lovely unified in blue tones to evoke snow.

Perfectly round snowman

[Kindergartens/Daycare Centers] Perfect for Wall Decorations! December Round Snowman Craft

Perfectly round snowman

Let me share an idea for making a perfectly round snowman designed to look like it’s gazing upward.

First, cut a paper cup about 4–5 cm up from the bottom.

Next, attach a snowman face made from construction paper to the bottom of the cup, then glue it to the center of a paper plate.

The paper plate will be the snowman’s body, so add pipe-cleaner arms and use round stickers to create patterns on the body.

Finally, decorate the paper plate with star stickers, and you’re done.

It’s very simple yet creates a striking piece, so give it a try!

Snowman made with rings

Snowman Made from Rings: Christmas Ornament [Sakura-gaoka Sanatorium]

Snowman made with rings

A classic for birthday decorations! This is a snowman craft made with paper chains.

Make a loop by gluing a strip of construction paper into a ring, thread another strip through it, then glue it into another ring to create a chain.

Use colored paper for the top ring, as it will be the bucket hat.

The second ring is the face, and the ones below form the body—decorate them with stickers and ribbons.

Attach arms made from brown construction paper and a hanging ribbon to the head, and it’s complete.

Hang it on the wall or ceiling to bring a wintry vibe.

You can use this idea to make Santa Claus, too.

Snowman Stencil

[Wall activity] Dab with a pom-pom to add color! Snowman stencil [Winter craft]

Snowman Stencil

With a clear plastic file, you can easily enjoy stenciling.

First, cut the file open so it becomes a single sheet.

Then cut out a snowman shape or use a craft punch to cut snowflakes to create your stencil sheet.

Once the sheet is ready, place it over drawing paper and secure it, then dab on paint with a sponge.

After the paint dries, add a bucket hat, a carrot nose, and branch arms made from construction paper, and draw the face with a pen to finish!

Christmas mobile made from paper cups

https://www.tiktok.com/@rin_hoiku_idea/video/7443415321878301960

Brighten your walls with an easy-to-make Christmas mobile.

The materials are paper cups, straws, jute twine, construction paper, round stickers, and present-shaped parts.

Use the paper cups, construction paper, and round stickers to make Santa Claus and a reindeer.

Create the base of the mobile with the straws and jute twine, then hang Santa, the reindeer, and the present parts to finish.

Use thick, sturdy straws designed for tapioca/boba.

Decorating with tape or origami paper will make it even more festive.

Paper Plate Santa

https://www.tiktok.com/@peta_peta_anyo/video/7436681167174307079

Cut a paper plate in half to make the base for the face.

Snip small cuts along the rim with scissors to create the beard.

Cut a red piece of construction paper into a triangle, add a pom-pom to make a hat, and glue it onto the plate.

Color the center of the plate with crayon to match a skin tone, then draw the nose and mouth.

Finally, make hair with cotton and attach eye parts to complete your Santa Claus.

Feel free to enjoy it by sticking it on the wall or hanging it as a decoration.

It would also look nice attached to a cone-shaped body as a standing ornament.
