[For 3-year-olds] Perfect January Winter & New Year Crafts! A Collection of Fun, Hands-On Ideas

Spinning top made from a paper plate

[Childcare Craft] Perfect for New Year's wall decorations! Spinning tops made from paper plates | Frames made from paper plates

This is a wall decoration inspired by spinning tops, a classic item for New Year’s play.

Fold a paper plate in half, open it again, and cut along the crease.

Attach a rectangular sheet of construction paper to the plate, then decorate with stickers and crayons.

Finally, glue a strip of construction paper vertically to the back of the plate to finish.

The key point is that kids can have fun freely sticking on stickers and drawing their own illustrations.

It’s enjoyable as play and also serves as an activity that moves the fingers and helps develop thinking skills.

New Year wall decorations

New Year’s craft 🎍 This time I combined a snake, a daruma, and a shishimai (lion dance) into one project ✨ We made patterns using various techniques like stamping and finger painting 🎨 For parts drawn with crayons—like the snake’s coils or the daruma’s patterns—it’s easier to draw them before gluing them onto the base sheet 🖍️ I’ve posted how to make the stamp for the shishimai pattern in a previous post! The paper sizes are shown near the end of the video 🎥 The snake, daruma, and shishimai faces used in this project will be available through my Instagram subscription! I’ll also share cut-and-use materials so you can start crafting right away ✨ (Check the video for details about what’s included.) Give it a try ✂️ ————————————— With the subscription materials, you can save all resources from the past three months after they’re released!

Cute with finger painting and stamps! Here are some New Year craft ideas recommended for 3-year-olds.

Use finger painting to make the daruma on a 11.5 cm × 11.5 cm drawing paper.

For the shishimai (lion dance) pattern, stamp using a spiral made from cardboard.

For the snake pattern, stamp with your fingers.

Paste washi-style origami on the top and bottom of a 34.5 cm × 15.5 cm colored paper, then attach the pieces you made onto the colored paper.

Add the face parts and attach a string to finish! It’s recommended because you can enjoy it every year by changing the zodiac face parts.

A battledore made with rolling marbles

Marble art lets you create accidental patterns just by rolling marbles over paint.

Rolling the marbles around feels like a game and is lots of fun.

Here, let’s use those marble-made patterns to create decorative artwork for a hagoita (traditional Japanese paddle).

First, place your favorite paints on white drawing paper, then roll the marbles over them.

Stop when you like the result and let the paper dry.

Glue the paper onto a paddle-shaped backing, then attach daruma and plum blossom pieces beside it to finish.

Let's make a kagami mochi with whipped paint 🤭☁️Nursery teacher / Childcare worker#Nursery school#KindergartenSTEAM educationParent-child timeHow to spend the New YearNew Year’s holiday#NewYearDecorations

♬ Oshogatsu – Yasuko Kora/Wakakusa Children’s choir

Kagami mochi you can make with 3-year-olds! Here’s a cute whipped-paint craft perfect for January.

What you’ll need: shaving foam, liquid glue, a container, a spoon, a brush, construction paper or origami paper, and a pencil for sketching.

First, do the prep.

Use the pencil to lightly sketch a kagami mochi on the construction paper that will be your base.

Next, make a mandarin (daidai) using origami or construction paper.

Now make the “whip.” Put a small amount of liquid glue into the container, then add about the same amount of shaving foam and mix with the spoon.

If there isn’t enough shaving foam, add a little more as needed.

Spoon the shaving foam onto your sketch in the shape of kagami mochi, let it dry, and you’re done!
