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

[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.

Ramen made with wax-resist painting

Piping hot ramen is something you especially want to enjoy in winter, isn’t it? Let’s make such appetite-stimulating ramen with a resist painting technique.

For the toppings like nori, green onions, and egg, use scissors and glue, and create them together with the children.

Next, draw the noodles with crayons in the soup area of the ramen bowl.

If you paint soup-colored watercolor over the crayon, it will instantly turn into a splendid bowl of ramen! Once the paint dries, add the toppings.

If you also draw steam with a white crayon on the background paper, it will enhance the atmosphere even more.

Battledore of the Twelve Zodiac Animals

For a January wall decoration, how about a design that features the twelve zodiac animals on a hagoita (traditional battledore)? Not only will it make for a lively display, but it will also be a great opportunity for children to learn about the zodiac.

You could also add a hagoita that highlights the zodiac animal of the year for an extra special touch! Incorporating auspicious motifs like plum blossoms, pine, and bamboo alongside the zodiac will further create a festive New Year’s atmosphere.

It’s easy to make by cutting and pasting construction paper or origami paper, so please give it a try!

A Christmas tree with delightful gimmicks

Includes goals too! Easy winter/December wall display craft: What happens when you open the presents decorating the Christmas tree? [Daycare/Kindergarten]

When it comes to Christmas, the thing kids look forward to most is the presents, right? In this activity, children draw the gift they want, then paste their drawing onto construction paper cut into the shape of a present box.

It’s a fun craft where, when you open the present box, the drawing of the gift is revealed.

Turning it open makes you feel as excited as opening a real present, wondering, “What kind of picture is inside?” It makes a cute and festive Christmas wall display, and it’s also great for decorating a real Christmas tree.

Chat about what presents everyone wants while you enjoy making it together!

Snowy world of friendly penguins

Since when did they pick up “more or less”? Winter/February craft journal: “Friendly Penguins in a Snowy World” – for 4- and 5-year-olds [Nursery/Kindergarten]

Because penguins live in the Antarctic and Arctic, they’re animals that love the cold winter, right? When folding a penguin out of origami, make sure to crease firmly and pay attention to the angle of the beak as you fold.

For the glacier sections, tear about three colors of origami paper by hand and paste them on.

The crystals you draw with crayons will look cute in any color you like.

It’s also recommended to add sparkly tape or round stickers around it, customizing based on age and interests! If you introduce a picture book about penguins before the activity, it will likely boost children’s interest even more!

Cute winter crafts made with paper cutouts

Cute winter crafts (also great for wall decorations!)

Here’s how to make a paper-cut artwork.

First, fold a sheet of calligraphy paper (hanshi) into a triangle.

Sketch the pattern you want to cut with a pencil, then cut along the lines.

The key point is to color the front and back of the tree sections with a water-based pen, then use a brush to add water and spread the color.

The way the paint gently diffuses with the water looks so beautiful.

When you unfold the hanshi after cutting and coloring, let it dry first before opening it to prevent tearing.

Once it’s finished, you can paste it onto drawing paper and decorate the edges with round stickers or glitter tape for a lovely touch.

shimenawa (sacred Shinto rope)

[Craft Idea] Shimenawa paper craft (New Year in January) (senior activities) (early childhood education) (wall decorations) (creative) (easy) (seasonal) (ema plaques)

When it comes to must-have New Year’s items, shimenawa ropes are a classic! During the season, you’ll often see them at home improvement stores, supermarkets, and many other places.

Ready-made ones are convenient, but why not try making a shimenawa from scratch? You can easily create one by crumpling soft brown paper like craft paper to give it a wrinkled texture, twisting it, and forming it into a loop.

Then have fun decorating it with any materials you like.

It would also look lovely to hang an ema plaque in the center of the ring featuring drawings by the kids.
