[Childcare] Ideas for snowman wall decorations. Recommended for January crafts.

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Snowmen you can’t help but want to make when the snow piles up.

Rolling the snow into shape is fun, and the finished snowmen look so cute and heartwarming.

Many kindergartens and nursery schools probably incorporate snowmen—so full of winter charm—into their January crafts.

So this time, we’re sharing snowman craft ideas that are perfect for wall decorations.

A big collection of ideas using all kinds of materials like origami paper, yarn, and paper plates!

It’s also fun to add variations like hats and mittens, or to make different expressions—smiling faces, angry faces, and more!

Let’s decorate with lots of snowmen that showcase the children’s individuality and enjoy the winter season!

Because the children’s creations are treated as works (artworks), we use the term “seisaku” (制作: production/artwork) in the text.

A snowman made of snowflake paper cutouts

This is a decoration that combines two winter-themed motifs: a snowman and snowflakes.

You can easily make the snowflakes by folding paper into a triangle and cutting out shapes with scissors, as if carving them.

When making the snowflake, if you cut the edge in a form that looks like stacked circles, a snowman shape will appear when you unfold it.

After that, just add color to the unfolded piece and it’s done.

Besides a snowman, incorporating a Christmas tree shape is also recommended.

A snowman made by cutting out a paper plate

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

A snowman made by cutting out a paper plate

How about an easy snowman wall decoration made with paper plates? You can make perfect use of the plate’s round shape just as it is—it’s so satisfying! For the snowman’s cute scarf, use felt.

Any leftover felt can be used for the nose.

Draw pupils on small circles of paper, add rosy cheeks with crayon, and stick some sparkly stickers on the body—and you’re done.

If an adult handles the initial step of cutting out the center of the paper plate with a craft knife, the rest makes a fun craft to create together with children.

Fluffy snowman made by threading yarn

http://www.lemon8-app.com

While enjoying lacing, let’s make a snowman perfect for winter.

In this idea, you punch holes into a circular frame cut from white construction paper and thread yarn through the holes.

Once you’ve threaded yarn through all the holes, the snowman’s body is complete.

Then cut a slightly smaller circle from construction paper and glue it on as the head.

Finish by attaching a scarf, hat, arms, and facial features.

Some yarns come in colorful multicolors, so using one of those will give it a bright, festive look.

Fun with black construction paper! Making snowmen

@hekimen_25
Winter craft: We made snowmen using crayons and paint! ⛄️❄️🎵#Childcare Crafting #Wall Creation Nursery teacher / Childcare worker I tried making it Snowman
♬ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year – neozilla

Here’s a craft idea: paint a snowman with white paint on black construction paper, then finish by adding a paper bucket and mittens, plus face stickers.

For the snowman, draw a circular outline and fill it in with paint.

Because it’s surprisingly hard not to paint outside the lines, if infants are doing this activity, it’s better to either prepare pre-painted pieces or have an adult cut a snowman shape from the child’s white-painted paper and glue it onto the background.

If you put double-sided tape on the back of the bucket and mittens, kids can use them like stickers, making them easier for little hands to handle.

Once the snowman is done, use cotton swab stamping to add a snowy landscape in the empty space to complete the project.

Make it with paper plates! Cute snowman

[Childcare Craft] Winter craft! Easy paper plate snowman

Make it with paper plates! Cute snowman

This is a snowman craft idea that also lets kids enjoy sticking stickers.

Stack and glue two paper plates vertically to make the base, then finish the snowman using round stickers and parts cut from construction paper.

If infants are doing this activity, it may help to put double-sided tape on the back of the parts to turn them into stickers.

Also, pre-cut the pipe cleaners to use as arms and assist with attaching them using tape.

Changing the colors of the construction paper and stickers will change the snowman’s look, so let the children choose the ones they like.
