[Paper Plate] Snowman Wall Decoration

[Paper Plate Craft] Make it in 5 Minutes! An Easy Snowman Wall Decoration Using Paper Plates

Here’s a wall decoration idea that makes the most of a paper plate’s round shape: a snowman wreath! It’s easy to make and turns out stylish and cute, like a wreath.

First, cut out the center of the paper plate, leaving a small section, and fold that remaining part upward.

Next, have fun decorating the snowman’s face, scarf, and more however you like! If a one-year-old is doing the activity, let them try sticking on the facial features and adding stickers to the body.

Finally, thread a string through the top, and your wall hanging is complete! Hang it in your room and enjoy the seasonal mood together with the children.

Penguin footprint art

Penguin Footprint Art Project: Perfect for Wall Displays for 1–3-Year-Olds!

Children’s footprints are so cute! Here’s a craft to make penguins using footprints.

You will need construction paper, origami paper, a pencil, glue, round stickers, white paint, and an ink pad.

First, put some paint on the ink pad and make footprint prints.

The key is to use only a little water in the paint.

Stamp both feet onto the construction paper.

Use round stickers to make the penguin’s face and feet parts, then cut the footprints into the shape of the penguin’s body.

Next, have the children tear the origami paper and glue the pieces onto the construction paper.

Tear them into squares to look like ice.

Attach the penguins to the construction paper, and let the children use round stickers to add the faces—done!

[Paint] Fukuwarai

The feel of the paint is so much fun! Here’s a recommended fukuwarai-style craft for 1-year-olds.

What you’ll need: colored construction paper in your favorite color, white paint, blue round stickers, head and face parts made from construction paper, plastic wrap, and glue.

First, freely place paint on the colored paper.

Cover it with plastic wrap, then spread the paint by pressing and moving your fingers on top of the wrap.

The texture of the paint is really enjoyable.

Spread the paint all over the paper.

Finally, just like playing fukuwarai, stick on the head and face parts while having fun—and you’re done!

[Paper Plate] Wobbly Daruma

[Nursery/Kindergarten] Wobbly Daruma Craft with Paper Plates! [New Year]

This is a fun project to make wobbling daruma dolls that are perfect as New Year’s decorations! Cut out the daruma parts from construction paper, glue them together, and have the children draw the faces.

It’ll be exciting to see what unique expressions they create! After that, simply stick the daruma onto a paper plate folded in half.

As an added twist, before cutting the daruma into a circle, let the children scribble freely to create patterns—this makes for a lovely, decorated daruma! The gently wobbling dolls are sure to capture the children’s curiosity.

Snowman in a plastic bottle

[Easy Winter Craft] Let’s make and display it♪ A plastic-bottle snowman ⛄️ #PreschoolCraft #NurseryTeacher #TeachingIdeas #AspiringNurseryTeacher #TeacherLife #WithKids #PlasticBottleCraft #PlasticBottle

We’re introducing a super cute snowman craft you can make with a plastic bottle! Even 1-year-olds can enjoy making it.

Here’s what you need: a plastic bottle with a rounded top, cotton, a pen, round stickers, felt cut into a thin scarf shape, and wood glue.

First, stuff the bottle with cotton.

Pack it tightly, put the cap on, and draw the eyes with a pen.

Use round stickers for the nose and the buttons on the body.

Finally, wrap the felt scarf around the neck and glue it with wood glue to finish! If you use round stickers for the eyes, it’s even easier for kids to make, so we highly recommend it.
