Craft ideas for a Christmas party that elementary school kids will love! Simple and exciting projects

handbell

[Christmas Craft 🎄] Make Santa and Reindeer Handbells with Paper Cups!

Let’s make handbells using paper cups.

Put empty cans or beads inside so they make sound, and decorate the outside with colored construction paper and pipe cleaners.

If you play a Christmas song, the kids are sure to be all smiles! Working together, everyone can create a beautiful harmony.

With handbell performances, each person is in charge of one note to build a single piece of music, so even children who aren’t confident with instruments can join in and have fun.

After the performance, they can take their bell home as a decoration, so the Christmas spirit can last even longer.

Homemade crackers

[Party Craft] Easy No-Gunpowder Paper Cup Confetti Popper (Flies Well) [Simple Craft] Perfect for New Year’s, New Year holidays, and Birthday Party Crafts

Let’s make a high-flying cracker that’s perfect for a Christmas party! First, prepare two paper cups and cut out the bottoms of both.

Keep one of the cut-out bottoms—you’ll use it later.

Next, make four small slits around the rim of the bottom edge, and hook rubber bands onto two opposite slits so they hang inside the cup; tape them in place.

Twist the hanging rubber bands once and hook them onto the remaining two slits, then secure those as well.

Tie another rubber band at the point where the bands cross, and attach a small ball made by taping a wad of tissue to the end of it.

Finally, stack the second paper cup over the first and insert the saved cut-out bottom inside.

You’re done! Put in some decorative pom-poms, pull the ball back and release—your contents will go pop and fly out!

star-shaped gift box

A star-shaped gift box that’s easy to make with 100-yen shop materials—perfect for a Christmas present [Koujoucho]

This is a star-shaped gift box that would make a great present box and could also work as an ornament.

You can make it using craft paper sold at 100-yen shops and similar stores.

Use a compass to draw a regular pentagon on the craft paper, then connect the points to draw a star inside it.

Next, draw another regular pentagon on the outside so that its corners overlap the first pentagon, and connect the inner pentagon’s corners with their diagonals.

All the lines you’ve drawn will be fold lines, so lightly score them with a craft knife to make folding easier.

After that, assemble everything, and your star-shaped gift box is complete.

Decorating the outside with origami paper or similar materials will give it an even more festive look!
