Recommended winter wall decorations for seniors: heartwarming ideas

poinsettia

Kimie Gangi December wall decoration: “Fluffy Poinsettia” — A hearty poinsettia decoration

When it comes to major events in December, Christmas is the one that comes to mind.

As Christmas approaches, how about making poinsettia flowers as wall decorations—just like the ones you often see in displays at florists and shops around town? We’ll use red, green, and yellow tissue paper.

The leaves are green and the flowers are red, but the method is the same for both.

Fold them in an accordion, trim the corners, staple the center, and fluff them out.

Since the red goes on top of the green, the key is to make the red slightly smaller.

Make lots of them and fill the entire wall with fluffy flowers—it’ll look bright and exciting!

Stamp pon-pon, warm kotatsu

For your February wall display! Stamp, stamp! A cozy kotatsu 🍊⛄ #preschoolcrafts #nurserytEacher #teachingideas #traineenurseryteacher #teacherlife #withkids #spongestamps #easycraft #walldecor

In the cold season, it feels so nice to warm up inside a kotatsu, doesn’t it? This is a stamp-based craft that seems to capture the kotatsu’s cozy warmth.

You can make the stamps by attaching pieces of sponge to chopsticks or a thin stick—simple materials are fine.

Dip your handmade sponge stamps in paint and gently dab them onto a paper kotatsu made from construction paper.

Since it doesn’t require much force, it’s a project that older adults may find easy to enjoy.

It’s also a nice touch to add a paper cat made from construction paper alongside the kotatsu.
