Ideas for Winter-Themed Crafts and Bulletin Board Projects for 5-Year-Olds

three-dimensional snowman

[Craft Play] Easy-to-make snowman using a plastic bag

Here’s an idea for making a three-dimensional snowman using a white bag.

Prepare a small bag and fill it with cotton.

After tightly tying the opening, bundle several strands of yarn to make a scarf and tie it slightly above the middle of the bag.

Shape it so the top and bottom become round.

Then attach eyes, a nose, and a mouth made from construction paper to the upper round part.

Insert cotton swabs dyed brown on both sides of the lower round part to look like arms and secure them.

Finally, place a paper cup on its head as a bucket, and it’s complete.

You can paint the bucket or decorate it with stickers to give each one a unique personality.

If the chest area looks a bit plain, adding cotton balls as decoration makes it cute.

Snowman Marionette

[How to Make a Snowman] “Snowman Marionette” for childcare: winter craft, easy DIY, indoor play

Perfect for winter! Here’s a craft recommendation for 5-year-olds: a Snowman Marionette.

You’ll need: 1 pair of chopsticks, 1 rubber band, 1 empty tissue box, 2 buttons (if you have them), two 15 cm ribbons, 2 paper plates, three pieces of string about 30 cm each, double-sided tape, and construction paper.

First, put double-sided tape on one paper plate and stick the other plate on top to make the snowman.

Decorate the snowman with construction paper and ribbons to make it cute.

Make mittens out of construction paper, and attach the strings and ribbons with double-sided tape.

Split the chopsticks and cross them into an X with a rubber band, then wind the strings around the chopsticks.

Attach the mittens to the chopsticks, thread them through the tissue box with holes on the sides, and finally attach the snowman.

All done!

On the walls too! Cute winter crafts

Cute winter crafts (also great for wall decorations!)

When you open it, a cute wall display featuring fir trees and snowmen appears.

Gather washi paper, water-based markers, scissors, water, a brush, and a pencil to get started.

Fold the washi paper in half twice and draw your guide lines.

It’s easier to cut if you follow the guide lines as you cut toward the tip.

Color the fir tree and snowman areas with water-based markers, then blur them with water on your brush and let them dry thoroughly.

Finally, gently open the washi paper, paste it onto construction paper, and you’re done.

Try changing the colors or the expressions to create your own original wall decoration.

Fun for childcare! Indoor winter activities

[For 2-Year-Olds] Winter Asobi-Comi

Let me introduce some winter indoor activities that include crafts.

You can roll up cotton to look like fake snow, or put it into a plastic kiddie pool and play dynamically as if it were a bubble bath.

Use stamps on black construction paper to represent snowflakes, then glue origami penguins on top to create a winter-themed wall display.

A glowing tunnel made by sticking phosphorescent stickers onto cardboard is a space where kids will want to stay forever.

Why not fully enjoy winter indoors while incorporating children’s free ideas along the way?

Let’s make a skeleton shishimai (lion dance) that looks like stained glass.

First, cut construction paper to create the lion’s body.

Cut out the inside so it becomes just a frame.

Stick small pieces of color film onto a clear sheet, attach it to the frame, and trim any excess.

Finish by adding a lion dance face made from construction paper! Prepare several colors of film.

You could also provide just a base for the lion’s face and let the children draw their own—it might look really cute!

Let’s make it snow using stencils cut from origami paper.

First, fold the origami into quarters to make a triangle, then fold it even more finely.

Once folded, use scissors to cut along the outside and inside and then unfold it.

You’ll see unexpectedly beautiful snowflake shapes appear.

Load a sponge with white paint, place the stencil on a dark-colored backing paper, and dab to make lots of snowflakes.

It might be fun to shift the stencil slightly and dab again.

If you try different cutting methods when making the stencils, you’ll get all kinds of snowflakes, which makes it really interesting.

We don’t see kadomatsu decorations at private homes as often anymore, but they’re still displayed at the entrances of large buildings.

Here’s an idea for a wall-hanging kadomatsu you can make for a room.

Roll green construction paper into tubes and cut the tips at a slant.

Make three tubes with slightly different lengths.

Attach them to a paper plate covered with doily paper, then cover the lower halves of the three tubes with light brown paper.

Finally, add a ribbon to the open space on the plate and attach a string for hanging, and you’re done! The look will change depending on the types of paper plates and doilies you use, so prepare a few options and let the kids choose their favorites.
