penguin
Beloved at zoos and aquariums, penguins are also great motifs for winter wall decorations! Cut construction paper to create penguin parts and assemble them to make a wall display.
Teachers can make them, of course, but it’s also fun to create them together with the children.
If you’re working with children, have them add patterns to the penguins’ hats and scarves with finger stamps or stickers! Depending on their age, you can include more steps like gluing and cutting with scissors to make the activity even more enjoyable.
poinsettia
When it comes to iconic Christmas flowers, poinsettias top the list.
Create poinsettia paper crafts in vibrant red and green to add festive flair to your holiday decor.
Once you’ve prepared red and green construction paper, make the flower parts and the leaf parts separately.
After the pieces are ready, use double-sided tape to assemble them into the shape of a flower.
Connect them while checking the balance as you go.
When the flower is finished, attach a small yellow pom-pom to the center to complete it.
Because it’s a three-dimensional floral decoration, it creates a very festive and cheerful atmosphere.
angel
For Christmas wall decorations, cute angel motifs are highly recommended! They create an adorable atmosphere that children are sure to love.
To make them, simply cut colored construction paper into parts and assemble them.
If you’re short on time, you can also download and use free templates.
And by combining angels with other Christmas motifs like Christmas trees or Santa Claus, you can create an even more festive wall display.
gloves
Why not try making a cute mitten wall decoration that creates a cozy winter vibe? It’s easy to make with colored construction paper and yarn, so you can enjoy the challenge together with kids.
Cut slits into paper traced in the shape of a mitten, then wrap yarn through them.
The fluffy texture of the yarn gives it a cute, three-dimensional look.
Use your favorite colors of paper and yarn to create your own original mittens.
How about decorating the wall with a variety of colorful mittens for a fun display?
Oni of Setsubun
Setsubun, which arrives at the end of winter, is a traditional event that makes us feel that spring is on its way.
Some children might be scared when they hear about ogres, but if they’re colorful and cute, they can brighten up the room.
When combining origami and colored construction paper, scissors will be used, so teachers should provide support.
If the children draw the ogres’ faces and pants with their own unique designs, it becomes a craft project you’ll look forward to seeing completed.
It’s a seasonal wall decoration for winter that makes Setsubun—often seen as scary—fun.
ema (votive wooden plaque)
When visiting temples or shrines for New Year’s visits, the ema plaques you see are wall decorations that really make the new year feel real.
You can easily make them by cutting colored construction paper into the shape of an ema and combining it with various decorations.
Children can enjoy creating them freely by writing their dreams and wishes or drawing the zodiac animal of the year.
After they’re displayed, it’s also fun for everyone to look for their friends’ ema and see what’s written on them.
It’s a wintery wall decoration.
kagami mochi (traditional Japanese New Year rice cake decoration)
This is a kagami mochi made of origami that lets you enjoy the New Year atmosphere.
Since the base and the kagami mochi itself are folded separately, if you’re making it with children, encourage them to try as much as they can! You could aim for the teacher to support them while they work hard on just one of the steps.
Also, if you’re arranging this origami as a wall decoration, it would be nice to make and add a decorative stand called a “sanpō.” Furthermore, you could make the base from origami and attach a kagami mochi drawn on construction paper—this might result in a unique and personal piece.
