Christmas card ideas to make with children: great for both preschool and home

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.

After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Rainbow paper Christmas card

These days, 100-yen shops have an abundant selection, with a wide variety of products ranging from handy everyday items to curious things whose purpose isn’t obvious at first glance.

Have you heard of rainbow paper in the stationery section? It’s a great item where, when you draw with the included stylus, the black surface layer gets scratched away to reveal a vivid rainbow-colored base underneath.

Christmas cards made with rainbow paper are really lovely—if you decorate them with star-shaped stickers or glitter, they become even more beautiful, shimmering in seven colors.
