New Year’s shishimai (lion dance) craft

[New Year] Making a Shishimai (Lion Dance) #January #NewYear

This is a handmade activity that lets you enjoy and feel close to traditional events.

While assembling the face and learning the parts of the shishimai (lion dance)—eyes, nose, and mouth—children naturally develop their observation skills.

By freely combining the parts, you can create a lion with tons of personality, from smiling faces to humorous expressions.

It’s also great fun to play as a fukuwarai game, letting you fully enjoy the New Year atmosphere.

Making it together while asking, “What kind of face will it be?” is enjoyable with family and friends, and it’s perfect as a winter break craft activity.

Not just for decoration! This is a unique idea you can decorate with, move, and enjoy.

All you need are a paper cup, a utility knife, scissors, a straw, tape, a Santa Claus cutout made from construction paper, and kite string.

It creates a wall scene that looks as if Santa Claus is secretly trying to slip into the house through the chimney on Christmas night.

For the background, use dark-colored construction paper or poster paper that evokes nighttime and decorate it with star motifs.

Adding a brick-style chimney will further enhance the imagery.

Daruma-otoshi with masking tape!

A Daruma-otoshi that even small children can make is a great way to learn about traditional New Year’s games.

Prepare construction paper, scissors, masking tape, and crayons, and let’s get started.

Cut out the face and body parts from the construction paper, then apply strips of masking tape at your preferred widths.

Color over the masking tape with crayons, using different colors as you like, and then peel off the tape.

Attach the face on top and draw the facial expression.

Once you glue together the dropping stick cut from construction paper, it’s complete.

You’ll end up with a Daruma-otoshi that showcases each child’s individuality.

Feel free to adjust the width of the masking tape and the colors you use to your liking.

Handmade Daruma craft

@hoikuai.niconico♬ Slow and pretty pop music(120463) – STUDIO COM

This is a fun craft idea where you stick pieces of origami paper.

The materials are construction paper for the base of the daruma’s body and face, and origami paper for the patterns.

If infants or toddlers are doing this, please cut out the parts from the construction paper in advance.

For children old enough to use scissors, let them cut out the parts themselves.

Once the parts are ready, just glue them together and draw the face with crayons.

Gold and silver origami look festive and are recommended.

If you stick it onto a backing, it can also become a wall decoration.

The round daruma made with yarn has a warm, cozy feel.

Let’s prepare a paper plate, a hole punch, yarn, construction paper, round stickers, and glue, and get started.

Cut out the center of the paper plate, then use the hole punch to make holes all the way around the edge for threading the yarn.

Thread the yarn through a hole, tie it, and continue threading so that the holes are connected with the yarn.

Attach eyes and patterns made from construction paper, and add New Year’s decorations like plum blossoms or pine to finish.

Sparkly stickers might also be perfect for the New Year.

Paper plate Daruma dolls and zodiac masks that you can easily make with kids are sure to liven up New Year’s celebrations.

Get a paper plate, paint, chopsticks, and scissors ready, and let’s start.

Cut out the eye holes in the paper plate with scissors.

For the handle, glue a pair of chopsticks together.

Paint the entire paper plate, then add patterns and decorations to the body or face area, and you’re done.

Try poking your eyes through the cutouts and taking photos for fun.

It might also be fun to make them using pipe cleaners or yarn.

Make it with straw stamps! Snowman craft

How to make a snowman with straw stamping: a winter craft for ages 3 and up

Let’s make a snowman wall art with straw stamps.

First, an adult draws large and small circles on construction paper.

Using a plate as a guide is fun, too.

Then, draw a snowman’s hat on colored construction paper or origami paper.

Have the child cut it out.

Glue the cut-out pieces onto a darker-colored construction paper.

Once they’re glued, draw the snowman’s face with crayons.

For the straw stamp, cut slits into the end of a straw and spread them out so it forms a flower shape.

Dip it in white paint and dab it on—this creates lovely snowflake-like prints.
