Craft ideas for a Christmas party that elementary school kids will love! Easy and exciting projects (1–10)
Puni Puni Snow Globe
It’s a snow dome with a squishy, puffy texture you can enjoy.
It would make a nice little gift for children.
Fold a rectangular sheet of construction paper in half to make a crease, then open it and punch a large round hole in the center of the left side.
On the right side, place Christmas stickers where they’ll be visible through the hole, then attach a clear bag filled generously with laundry glue and sequins over them.
Fold the left side with the hole back on top to form the dome section, and seal the edges with masking tape.
Glue a piece of construction paper cut into the shape of the snow dome’s base under the hole, decorate the remaining open areas cutely, and you’re done.
Swaying Snowman Wreath
Let me introduce a cute Christmas wreath with a gently swaying snowman.
First, cut out the center of a paper plate to make the wreath base.
You’ll use the cut-out circle to make the snowman, so try to cut it out neatly.
Decorate the remaining ring-shaped paper plate with paint or colored paper, and attach a string to the top for hanging.
Give the snowman a scarf using masking tape, glue on a bucket hat made from colored paper, and draw the face with a pen.
Finally, hang the snowman in the center of the paper plate with fishing line, and it’s complete!
Paper roll cake
As Christmas approaches, you start seeing lots of adorable Swiss rolls decorated with Santa Claus and reindeer.
How about making a paper roll cake as a Christmas craft? Attach rolled colored paper to both ends of a piece of corrugated cardboard, then roll it up to form the cake body.
After that, create and add any decorations you like, such as cinnamon rolls or holly.
You can make the cinnamon rolls by layering different colors of paper in varying sizes, gluing them together, and then rolling them up.
Miniature wreath keychain
Here’s an idea for a miniature wreath using a binder ring.
You’ll need five materials: a binder ring, pipe cleaners, a jump ring, a charm, and a strap.
First, wrap the pipe cleaner around the binder ring.
Make sure to wrap it tightly so the silver part doesn’t show.
Next, thread a jump ring onto the pipe cleaner, position it at the top of the ring, twist to secure, and then thread the charm onto the same pipe cleaner and fix it in place.
Wrap any excess pipe cleaner around the ring.
Finally, attach the strap to complete the piece! If you decorate the strap with beads or other accents, it will look even cuter.
Papercraft Christmas lampshade
Recommended for elementary school kids! Here’s an easy way to make a lampshade.
You’ll need black A4 cardstock, tissue paper, a pushpin or needle, a glue stick, and an LED light.
First, fold the cardstock into an isosceles triangle.
While it’s folded, cut out patterns.
You can cut circles, straight lines—have fun seeing what shapes appear when you unfold it.
Use a needle to poke holes, open it up, and glue tissue paper over the cutouts with the glue stick.
Then form it into a square pyramid.
Finally, place the LED light inside, and your lovely lampshade is complete.
Try using different colors to create your own original lamp!
