Plus, winter-specific activities and warm, cozy motifs add color to everyday life.

In this article, we’ll introduce craft ideas to enjoy during the winter season.

Let’s make a Daruma decoration with a lovely yarn texture.

First, cut a circle out of the center of a paper plate.

Then use a hole punch to make evenly spaced holes around the inner rim.

Thread red yarn through one of the holes and tie a knot so it won’t slip out, then enjoy lacing the yarn through the holes as you like.

When you finish lacing, glue on the Daruma face and body pattern pieces made from construction paper over the yarn, and decorate the plate with stickers or plum blossoms to complete it.

Add a string for hanging, and it can be displayed like a wreath!

Fun with black construction paper! Making snowmen

https://www.tiktok.com/@hekimen_25/video/7312804209915694354

Here’s a craft idea: paint a snowman with white paint on black construction paper, then finish by adding a paper bucket and mittens, plus face stickers.

For the snowman, draw a circular outline and fill it in with paint.

Because it’s surprisingly hard not to paint outside the lines, if infants are doing this activity, it’s better to either prepare pre-painted pieces or have an adult cut a snowman shape from the child’s white-painted paper and glue it onto the background.

If you put double-sided tape on the back of the bucket and mittens, kids can use them like stickers, making them easier for little hands to handle.

Once the snowman is done, use cotton swab stamping to add a snowy landscape in the empty space to complete the project.

Easy and cute! Origami snow rabbit daruma

Origami Rabbit Daruma [Easy] [Winter Craft] [Childcare]
Easy and cute! Origami snow rabbit daruma

This is a rabbit snowman made with two sheets of origami paper! First, we’ll make the head: fold the paper twice to make a small triangle.

Then unfold one fold so it’s folded only once, and roll-fold the base of the triangle about 1 cm.

Next, leave a small gap in the center and fold both corners straight up.

These will be the rabbit’s ears, so fold the top corners into small triangles to round them off.

Fold the left, right, and bottom corners inward to tidy the outline, then flip the paper over.

Fold the corner at the base of the ears to the back to finish the head.

For the body, do a cushion fold (zabuton fold), flip the paper over, and do another cushion fold.

Finally, fold the square into a triangle and you’re done! Glue the two parts together and draw the face to finish.

Easy to make! 3 New Year decorations

Crafts: Easy New Year’s Projects [Daycare/Kindergarten]
Easy to make! 3 New Year decorations

Here are three New Year decoration ideas: “Shishimai (lion dance),” “Daruma,” and “Ema (votive plaque).” For the shishimai, cut out parts from construction paper, glue them together, and use a toilet paper roll as a stamp to create the body’s pattern.

For the daruma, draw a face on a paper plate and stick torn pieces of red and yellow origami paper around it.

Use yellow for the decorative patterns, tearing it into long, thin strips.

Lastly, for the ema, first cut cardboard into the shape of an ema to make the base, then cover the surface with gold origami paper.

Glue a slightly smaller piece of white construction paper on top, write your wish, and add patterns with stickers or pens to finish it off brightly.

When you want to display them, attach a ribbon or string to each one.

Easy! Long-tailed Tit Origami

Adorably round! The long-tailed tit known as the Shima-enaga, a wild bird native to Hokkaido.

In recent years, we often see goods and items featuring its cute appearance as a motif.

Here’s an idea to make a Shima-enaga using a single sheet of origami paper, plus a pen and glue.

Once you’ve folded the creases, the base is done.

Making the wings and tail seems like something you could enjoy while teaching and learning together with friends or teachers! It could be fun to give it a smiling expression, too.

If you display the finished pieces lined up on a branch, like real Shima-enaga keeping warm together, both kids and adults are sure to feel soothed.

Easy! Mount Fuji Origami

Let’s make Mount Fuji—the tallest mountain in Japan and considered lucky if it appears in your first dream of the year—using simple steps! All you need is a single sheet of blue origami paper.

There are no complicated steps, and if you focus on making straight, crisp folds, you’ll end up with a beautiful result.

It could be enjoyed not only by preschool classes but also with two-year-olds together with teachers or parents.

Display the finished piece alongside an illustration of the first sunrise of the year to make it even more festive.

Origami Plum Blossoms Kids Can Enjoy—Perfect for New Year’s Too!

Origami Plum Blossoms Kids Can Enjoy—Perfect for New Year’s Too!

Free-thinking sparks children’s creativity! It’s a great idea that lets kids enjoy both the focus of folding origami along lines and corners, and the excitement of tearing it dynamically.

Use the torn origami as beautiful branches, then stick on carefully folded plum blossoms to create your very own plum tree.

Drawing the pistils and stamens with crayons or colored pencils will help capture the distinctive features of plum flowers even more.

Take this opportunity to give it a try!
