A spinning top made from paper plates

[Childcare Craft] Perfect for New Year's wall decorations! Spinning tops made from paper plates | Frames made from paper plates

When it comes to New Year’s games, spinning tops (koma) are a classic.

For this wall display craft using paper plates, use a paper plate cut in half as the base of the top, and decorate the body with construction paper, crayons, and round stickers.

Cut construction paper to make the spindle, glue it on, and you’re done.

It’s a perfect, seasonally themed project for a January wall display, so try making it to suit your child’s developmental stage.

Spinning tops come in various shapes, such as disc-shaped and cone-shaped.

It could be fun to make different kinds of tops!

Making ozoni (New Year’s soup) with cotton

Making rice cakes with cotton, ozoni (New Year’s soup) craft, oshiruko (sweet red bean soup), January wall decor ❤︎ DIY / Ozoni paper craft / New Year’s dish / rice cake / mochi ❤︎ #830

Winter is the perfect season for delicious ozoni (New Year’s soup).

Let’s prepare materials like construction paper, tissue paper, cotton, and raffia tape (suzu-ran tape) to create a crafty ozoni.

For the daikon radish, the key is to crumple the raffia tape to add dimension, then place clear tape over it and shape it into a daikon.

For the spinach, mix yarn with thinly rolled strips of origami paper to make it look realistic.

You can make it even more fun by tying pieces together by part, using zigzag scissors, or crumpling materials to add volume.

Don’t forget to make the mochi with cotton, and finish your delicious-looking ozoni!

Snowman Stencil

[Wall activity] Dab with a pom-pom to add color! Snowman stencil [Winter craft]

Dabbing color from above with a stencil is so much fun, isn’t it? Let’s make a stencil by cutting a clear file into a round snowman shape.

Dip a sponge in paint and gently dab color over the stencil to create the snowman.

Plastic materials are recommended for making stencils because they repel water.

Once the stenciled paint is dry, attach parts like the eyes, nose, and mittens to finish.

If you like, you can also create and add surrounding scenery such as mountains or trees—the layered look adds depth and makes it extra cute.

Snowflake stamp

Easy Craft: Snowflake Stamps Made from Lactic Acid Drink Containers [Ages 0–1]

You can see snowflakes in the cold winter, right? For this snowflake stamp, please prepare a bump-prevention cushion sheet and an empty lactic acid bacteria drink container to use as the stamp base.

After sealing the opening of the drink container with vinyl tape, stick on the cushion sheet cut into a snowflake shape to make your stamp.

Dip it in paint and stamp it onto drawing paper, and beautiful snowflakes will appear.

It’s an activity that even small children can enjoy, so feel free to decorate the container with cute stickers or tape and have fun making it.

[Decalcomania] Daruma-san

Here’s a craft idea for making a Daruma using the decalcomania technique.

First, fold a sheet of red construction paper in half, then apply paints in colors you like on just one side.

Once the paint is on, close the paper along the fold and rub it with your hand like an iron to transfer the paint to the other side.

That’s the decalcomania part.

After the paint dries, place a Daruma template on top, trace the outline with a pen, and cut out the Daruma shape with scissors.

Finally, add the facial features to complete your Daruma! You can also glue the Daruma onto a backing sheet and decorate it with origami to make it look like the cover of the “Daruma-san” picture book series—it turns out really cute.

[Marble Run] Oni Pants

Let’s make ogre pants for Setsubun.

Using a marble-rolling technique, even infants can create cute patterns.

First, choose construction paper in a favorite color and enjoy rolling marbles.

Lightly secure the paper inside a box with edges, then roll marbles coated with paints like red, blue, or green.

Since there’s a chance children might put marbles in their mouths, be sure to manage the marbles carefully.

Once the paper is covered with patterns, let the paint dry.

Finally, cut it into the shape of pants and you’re done.

We recommend making pants in various colors and shapes and hanging them up for display!

[Yarn] Colorful Tree

How about trying a cozy, yarn-decorated Christmas tree? It’s a great craft idea to make with kids.

Use a hole punch to make holes in construction paper, then have the children thread yarn through to form a tree shape.

The yarn can go straight or diagonal—anything goes! Using multiple colors instead of just one adds a stylish touch.

For the finishing touches, decorate with colorful pom-poms or stick star-shaped stickers in the empty spaces—both look lovely.
