Brighten up your winter daycare room! A collection of recommended wall decoration ideas

A warm blanket that makes drawing paper

[Kindergarten/Daycare] December: Good Night with a Cozy Futon – Painting/Craft

When winter comes, we all long for a warm, cozy futon, don’t we? The key point of this futon wall craft is weaving construction paper together to create a checkered pattern.

Try combining your favorite colors.

Have the children draw self-portraits, glue them on, and then decorate the surrounding area with stars and a moon to finish.

Encourage the kids to imagine themselves sleeping as they create! They may even come up with their own new ideas along the way.

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.

Snowman Fashion Show

Developing Thinking and Observation Skills through Crafts! February/Winter Craft Book: “Snowman Fashion Show” — For Ages 3–4 [Nursery/Kindergarten]

Here’s a craft idea where kids can freely create snowmen using circle, triangle, and square pieces.

First, stick a large round piece onto a backing sheet to make the base of the snowman.

Then glue on a scarf made by wrapping yarn around a piece of thick paper cut into a rectangle, and you’re all set! From here, let the kids freely express their snowmen using the circle, triangle, and square pieces.

Some children might use circular pieces for the eyes, while others might use triangular pieces.

It’ll be fun to see how their unique sensibilities come through in their creations!

[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!
