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

Scratch-off New Year’s card

Scratch-off cards you scrape with a coin make your heart pound with excitement as you wonder what’s written underneath, don’t they? How about incorporating that scratch-off idea into your New Year’s cards? You can easily make the scratch-off layer by simply mixing acrylic paint with dish soap.

Kids can enjoy it like a craft project, too.

As a New Year’s lucky draw, definitely try adding a scratch-off to your card designs.

Instead of painting the scratch layer directly, apply wax to the parts you want to hide first, then paint over it.

Once it’s fully dry, it will scrape off nicely.

Zodiac illustrations using tape cores

Zodiac illustrations using tape cores#IllustrationSimple illustrationZodiac (Chinese zodiac)Zodiac Animal Illustrations#New Year's cardNew Year’s greeting card illustration

♪ Yes, gladly — Kent from this side

It’s an idea where you use the core of a tape roll to draw a face outline and then turn it into various animals.

It’s really fun to watch a single round shape transform into illustrations of different animals like a horse, sheep, monkey, and chicken.

You can use the circle as the full outline, or just use part of it.

Since you can’t erase unwanted lines if you start with a pen, begin by sketching in pencil and then trace over it with a pen afterward.

Cute for New Year’s cards too! Daruma-chan

Here’s an idea for New Year’s decorations, and since daruma dolls are also a common motif for New Year’s cards, why not use this idea to make a daruma-themed New Year’s card? Make a daruma out of construction paper and attach it to gold design paper along with some flowers.

Simply sticking that onto the front of the card will give it a festive feel.

However, if you’re attaching it to a New Year’s card, be sure to make the daruma as a flat piece.

Create the face with any expression you like, using stickers or pens.

Great for New Year’s cards too! Easy-to-use stamps

[New Year’s Cards 2024] Perfect for New Year’s cards too! Easy stamp-making 🎍 #preschoolcrafts #nurseryteacher #childcareideas #traineeNurseryTeacher #nurseryTeacherLife #withKids #tamponStamp #stampPlay #NewYearsCard #NewYearCraft

This is a New Year’s card featuring Mount Fuji made with construction paper and stamping.

It’s an easy project that kids can enjoy.

First, cut out the base of Mount Fuji from blue construction paper.

Cut it to postcard size, imagining a trapezoid shape.

Once cut, dab white paint onto a sponge dauber and stamp the upper area.

This creates the look of snow-capped Mount Fuji.

After the paint dries, glue it onto the postcard and draw the sun in the blank space to represent the first sunrise of the year.

Finally, write the year in Western numerals, and you’re done!

Snowflake paper ornament

[Snowflakes] Origami Decoration: 'How to Make a Snowflake in 1 Minute' Wall Decorations • Winter • Early Childhood Education • Elderly Care Recreation • How to make a very simple snowflake

Here’s an idea for making a papercut design with origami.

First, fold the paper into a triangle by bringing the top and bottom corners together.

Then rotate the paper and flip the top and bottom.

Cross the two triangle corners inward and fold where they overlap neatly.

Draw a crystal-like pattern and cut it with scissors.

Open the paper to reveal your design.

The crystal’s look changes depending on how you make the cuts, so try different variations.

The moment you open it and wonder, “What pattern will it be?” is so exciting and fun.

[Origami] Snowman

Origami: Snowman with a hat and scarf from a single sheet [Origami] Snowman with hat and scarf (using only one sheet)

This origami snowman is perfect for December, when it’s also the season of snow.

A snowman is made by placing one snowball on top of another, right? With a clever folding method, you can express the two stacked snowballs using just a single sheet of origami paper.

You can also make a scarf around the snowman’s neck.

If you use polka-dot or patterned paper, the pattern becomes the scarf, making it extra cute.

You can draw the eyes and mouth yourself, so each snowman has its own personality.

You can stick them on a wreath or a calendar, so try arranging them in different ways to expand the range of your creations.

Snow Fairy! How to Fold a Long-tailed Tit (Shima-enaga)

[Origami] Easy and Cute Animal: Long-tailed Tit Folding Method / Bird, Snow Fairy, Winter Decoration — Origami Long-tailed Tit

Let’s make a long-tailed tit using a single sheet of origami paper.

Fold the paper into a triangle, then fold both corners up to meet the top corner.

Fold the left and right corners inward to form a triangle, then rotate the paper to swap top and bottom.

Align with the top corners of the left and right triangles, and fold the two bottom corners outward to open them—these will be the wings.

Turn the paper over, squash-fold the triangular wings into squares, then fold the bottom corner up to meet the top corner and change the wings to black.

Tuck in the left and right corners of the black section to refine the shape, and flip the paper over.

Round out the remaining white area in the center, and you’re done.

Draw the face to finish it cutely.
