Craft ideas for a Christmas party that elementary school kids will love! Easy and exciting projects (41–50)
Christmas ornaments made with origami
I’ll show you how to make an easy Christmas ornament with origami! You’ll need origami paper, glue, and wood glue.
First, fold the origami paper in half twice and draw a circle.
Next, cut out the circle, apply glue to the cut piece, and stick the pieces together.
Be careful not to put glue on the edges.
Finally, attach a ribbon to the unglued part using wood glue, and you’re done! If you use different kinds of origami paper, you’ll get colorful and cute ornaments—give it a try!
Christmas tree made with torn-paper collage
A great recommendation for when children are working on Christmas crafts is a torn-paper Christmas tree.
Prepare several colors of cellophane and cut them into pieces of random sizes.
Cut laminate film to create the base of the Christmas tree, then attach the previously cut pieces with tape.
Make slits at the top and bottom of the tree, overlap the two sheets of film, and the tree is complete.
It’s a stand-up Christmas tree idea that you can display and enjoy.
Christmas hat
Let’s make a one-of-a-kind hat inspired by a Christmas tree! It’s easy to create with construction paper and origami, so it’s great for crafting with kids.
First, draw an arc with a ballpoint pen on green construction paper, crease along the line, and roll it up to form a pointy hat.
Use gold origami to make the star for the tree, and create ornaments with a Christmas theme.
Thread yarn through cut pieces of straw, tie it, and attach it to the inside of the hat to finish.
Pop-up card of a Christmas cake
Why not try making a pop-up Christmas cake card? It’s sure to delight anyone—friends, family, or someone special! First, sketch a cake on the card base, make slits at both ends, and fold to create the pop-up mechanism.
If you want a two- or three-tier cake, use the same method to build each tier.
Then decorate the cake, add Christmas motifs and a message, and you’ll have a festive pop-up card! You can also adapt it for a birthday cake, so give it a try!
Christmas cake hat
Many elementary schools and children’s groups hold Christmas parties, don’t they? A craft I’d like to introduce to brighten up the celebration is a Christmas cake hat.
This is made by sticking cut-out parts onto a long sheet of construction paper, as if making a collage.
Then you roll it into a cylinder and wear it on your head—instantly turning it into a hat.
Let children arrange the cake design however they like.
If you thread an elastic band through the back, it will be easier to wear.
Since threading the elastic can be tricky, please have an adult do that part.
Plastic bottle Christmas tree
Let’s use plastic bottles you have at home to make an original Christmas tree! First, crumple some origami paper and put it inside the plastic bottle, then wrap vinyl tape around the cap.
Next, take small strips of origami paper and join the ends to make the tree parts.
The tip here is to form them into ring shapes.
After sticking them onto the sides of the bottle, decorate with your favorite ornaments.
Finally, add a star made from origami on top, and you’re done! It’s an easy, Christmas-themed craft idea that kids can try, too.
3D Christmas tree made of origami
Have you ever felt that even after putting up Christmas decorations, the tabletop still looks a bit plain? In times like that, it’s handy to know how to make a 3D Christmas tree out of origami.
Once you master the folding method, it becomes easy to make! It’s perfect for trying together with children, too.
You can also have fun decorating it—like cutting origami paper into star shapes and sticking them on.
Give it a try and create a Christmas tree with a touch of originality.
