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

Shaka-Shaka Christmas Ornament

5-minute DIY! Shaka-shaka ✨ Christmas decoration♪

This is a fun craft that features a snowy Christmas scene inside a round window, where the “snow” shakes and swishes when you move it.

For the base, prepare a paper plate with a Christmas pattern.

Put foam beads (to mimic snow) into the plate’s indentation, then seal it by attaching a piece of clear file plastic on top.

If the indentation of the paper plate doesn’t provide enough space, insert layers of construction paper around the rim of the plate to create a sufficient gap.

Once the shaking mechanism is complete, decorate the outside with ribbon and other embellishments.

It’s finished when the whole piece feels festive and fun.

A mysterious reindeer with a moving face

[Christmas Craft Idea] It moves when you press it with your finger? A mysterious reindeer 🎄#Childcare CraftingNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Drawers of Childcare#NurseryTeacherInTraining#NurseryTeacherThingsWith childrenpaper cupreindeer#Christmas

♪ Original Song – Craft Ideas for Childcare ♪ Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Reindeer, along with Santa Claus, are an essential motif of Christmas, aren’t they? Let’s make a cute little mascot whose reindeer face wobbles and brings the joy of Christmas.

It’s a simple process using two paper cups: cut the face parts shorter than the body parts and insert a strip of origami paper folded like a spring between them.

Then just add decorations like a nose, eyes, and antlers to the face, and you’re done.

It’s important to make the spring piece sturdy so it can support the weight of the paper cups.

A classic Christmas tree made from a single sheet of construction paper

Classic Christmas Tree Made from a Single Sheet of Paper | Easy! | 100-Yen Store DIY | Parent-Child Christmas Craft

Here’s an idea for a Christmas tree that also works as a lampshade.

All you need is one sheet of green construction paper.

If you want to decorate the tree, prepare any embellishment parts you like.

First, cut the paper into a square, then fold it into a triangle twice.

You’ll find two pockets; open each and flatten them into squares.

With the center of the origami facing downward, fold both lower edges to the center line on both sides.

Unfold all the creases and squash-fold them into triangles.

The large triangles become the tree’s foliage, and the small triangle at the top becomes the trunk.

Cut slits into the foliage to create the jagged look of fir leaves.

For the trunk, roll the corners inward and glue the ends together to form a ring.

Decorate with your chosen parts, then place it over an LED light.

A DIY Christmas tree made with 100-yen store items

[100-yen DIY] Christmas tree made of paper 🎄 christmastree

It’s a Christmas tree made by attaching fringed origami to a cone base crafted from drawing paper.

The key is to curl the fringed sections by gently stroking them with a pen or the tip of a pair of scissors—this gives it a soft, fluffy texture.

We recommend making the slits very narrow, about 1 mm wide.

Create several of these pieces and glue them to the base in tiers.

Finish by adding a star and ribbon on the top and small pearls all over, and you’re done!

A Christmas tree made with torn-paper collage!

[Christmas Craft] Let’s make a Christmas tree with torn-paper art♪ A simple craft by tearing origami! [For 2-year-olds]

A torn-paper Christmas tree made by tearing and pasting origami is a craft you can enjoy with children.

Tearing the origami into small pieces exercises their fingers, and thinking about color combinations while sticking them on fosters creativity.

Add star-shaped stickers and decorative stickers freely, and you’ll have a one-of-a-kind colorful tree.

If you dot the background with a white crayon like falling snow, it will enhance the wintry atmosphere.

Working while chatting makes the conversation lively and creates lasting memories.

It’s a Christmas tree idea that uses simple materials to create a festive piece.
