  • Welcome

    Welcome to our Origami Santa - Japanese Christmas Paper Craft! This free, digital download is the perfect seasonal activity for young learners in Japanese kindergartens, preschools, and elementary classrooms. Origami Santa offers a wonderful opportunity to explore Japanese culture and bring festive cheer to the classroom!

  • Teaching Tips

    1. Prepare in Advance: As with all crafts, make an Origami Santa yourself before introducing it to the students. This helps you anticipate any questions and have a sample to show.
    2. Encourage Classroom Helpers: Young learners love being part of the setup! Designate a student to handle tasks like sharpening pencils, arranging desks, or managing glue sticks. This not only keeps materials organized but fosters responsibility.

  • 3. Clear and Consistent Instructions: Use the same language for each step to support English learning. Phrasing like, “Please pass me one piece of square red paper that is next to the yellow scissors,” reinforces vocabulary and spatial language while keeping students engaged.

  • This Origami Santa activity makes for a fantastic hands-on learning experience and is sure to spread holiday joy across the classroom and even staff parties.

    Happy crafting!
