Kadomatsu

Kadomatsu

The kadomatsu, traditionally displayed at the entrance as a “sign” to guide the Toshigami (New Year’s deity) to the home, instantly brings a New Year atmosphere to a room.

By shaping pine, bamboo, and plum—each known as a symbol of good fortune—out of colored paper, you can create a colorful wall decoration.

Sharing the story of kadomatsu while making it together with children at a nursery or kindergarten can turn it into a fun learning opportunity.

Let’s craft New Year-themed wall décor to celebrate the start of a new year.

Snowflakes

Origami Snowflakes: Easy How-To — Let’s Make Them for Christmas Decorations or Room Decor! Direct Tips from a Preschool Teacher
Snowflakes

Snowflakes are perfect decorations for Christmas and winter.

Of course teachers can make them, but once children are able to use scissors, this is a great project for them to try too! To make them, fold origami paper into a triangle, fold it again, sketch a snowflake design, and cut it out with scissors.

Since some parts require fine cutting, try using larger paper if you’re not yet confident.

Have fun making them with origami in various colors!

[Torn-Paper Collage] Wreath and Origami Santa

By the time children are in the preschool class, they can think for themselves about how to arrange colors and patterns, even when doing a tearing-and-pasting activity.

Why not make a wreath that makes use of that thinking ability? As preparation, lightly mark the shape of a wreath with a pencil on white construction paper.

Have the children freely tear origami paper and paste it with glue, using the wreath outline as a guide.

It’s recommended to provide patterned origami so the wreath turns out lively.

Finally, glue a ribbon on the wreath and add a Santa made from origami to complete it.
