[For Seniors] Decorate your January wall with rabbits! Packed with ideas like snowball fights, New Year’s celebrations, and mochi pounding (21–30)
Rabbits and moon-viewing dumplings
Why not try making a three-dimensional rabbit and tsukimi dango out of colored construction paper? Using a template makes it easy to create a 3D rabbit, so be sure to download it.
After cutting out the main pieces according to the template, score the fold lines with scissors or a similar tool to make folding easier.
Apply glue to the shaded areas and stick them together to form a three-dimensional shape.
Stack the dango in three tiers to give them a 3D finish as well.
Once you place the rabbits facing each other on the left and right sides of the dango, you’re done.
It will look lovely mounted on colored paper or a backing sheet, or even pasted directly on the wall.
New Year’s rabbit ornament
When you think of a snow rabbit, many people probably picture a plump, rice-bale-shaped bunny.
But here’s a New Year’s twist: a white snow rabbit wearing a kimono, sitting neatly and sweetly.
The rabbit itself isn’t too hard to make—you simply cut a craft pom-pom with scissors—but the base, kimono, and decorations are packed with thoughtful ideas! There are lots of small, detailed steps, yet each one is simple on its own, so give it a try if you like.
The finished piece is wonderfully festive!

Heart Bunny
Why not try making a bunny peeking out from a heart using origami? You’ll make the heart and the bunny separately and combine them at the end.
Neither involves difficult folds, so it’s recommended even for those who aren’t confident in their dexterity.
If possible, pay attention to the paper’s material and pattern! Just using Japanese patterns or washi instantly gives it a New Year’s feel.
Best of all, it’s quick and easy to make! Why not give it a try in a spare moment?
Ballerina rabbit
Wouldn’t it be cute if lots of rabbits were hopping all over the walls? Here’s an idea with a rabbit-and-ballerina theme.
Cut out the rabbit parts, staple them together, and add tissue-paper flowers around the waist to create a lovely skirt! It adds dimension, looks gorgeous, and lifts the mood.
Since you make each part separately, you have a high degree of freedom with the poses—that’s the key point.
Use your own ideas and turn an entire wall into a lucky, joyful ballet venue!

Making a snow-bunny wreath sounds wonderful.
The white, fluffy fur paired with a red ribbon is absolutely adorable.
Hands-on crafting can also help boost concentration.
Combining colorful materials to create a one-of-a-kind wreath brings a special kind of joy.
Once you hang it up, it will instantly brighten your room.
It will create a warm atmosphere that can chase away the winter chill.
Why not adorn your space with everyone’s uniquely personal creations and make it even more vibrant?
A rabbit wearing winter clothes
Of course, there’s the Year of the Rabbit, but when you think of rabbits, you might also picture a “snow rabbit” made from snow and nandina berries.
Rabbits give the impression of gently, softly brightening up winter, don’t they? This wall decoration features such rabbits dressed in cute, fluffy-looking winter clothes.
Attach items like long coats, cozy-looking boots, and gloves to the rabbit face parts.
You can make knit caps out of colored paper, or try using yarn to create the effect.
Kimono Rabbit
A wall decoration featuring rabbits in traditional Japanese clothing is a wonderful idea.
It’s perfect for making together with seniors.
The rabbits in kimono are absolutely adorable.
It’s also fun that you can change their poses and the direction of their hands.
Using crayons or stickers to create their expressions is a great idea, too.
You’ll end up with snow rabbits that really showcase everyone’s individuality.
It’s also recommended as a recreation activity for day-service centers.
While making the kimono-clad rabbits, it might be nice to spark conversations about old stories.
Let’s all enjoy crafting together and create a space filled with smiles.
