[Childcare] Winter Projects You’ll Want to Try! Recommended Craft Ideas

Handprint art horse

Let’s send a lovely New Year’s card that captures your child’s growth with their handprints.

It’s a unique idea that uses children’s handprints to create the body of “Bullseye,” Woody’s trusty steed from the hugely popular film Toy Story, loved by kids and adults alike.

You can adapt it for babies through toddlers, making it perfect if you’ve been stuck for New Year’s card ideas.

You can also tailor it to your children’s ages by adding parts, sticking on pieces, or writing text, and the result is sure to be wonderful!

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

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! Shimenawa wreath

[New Year Origami] Easy and Cute Shimenawa Wreath How to Fold / Origami Shimenawa Wreath

Something to make for New Year’s! Let’s decorate the room with a fluffy-looking origami shimenawa.

You’ll need ten 7.5 cm square sheets of origami paper and glue or double-sided tape.

Since you first make parts from the ten sheets and then assemble them, it seems like a great way to develop children’s thinking and spatial awareness.

If you attach flowers, the twelve zodiac animals, or other New Year’s ornaments to the shimenawa, it will look even more festive.

Recommended for preschoolers in the middle to senior age range! Give it a try.

Easy and cute! Origami snow rabbit daruma

Origami Rabbit Daruma [Easy] [Winter Craft] [Childcare]

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.
