Soon, soon a good holiday will come to us - New Year. Every year, since childhood, we have been waiting for this magic: the smell of tangerines, a beautiful Christmas tree, gifts, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, firecrackers, fireworks. And no matter how old you are, most of us are still happy as children. New Year is a holiday from childhood, so your already matured two-year-old child should be imbued with the New Year's atmosphere.

Often, parents of small children do not feel comfortable - after all, the child is only two years old, he is too small, he will not like a noisy holiday, and he is afraid of Santa Claus. And in two years, they are so tired of celebrating the New Year at home that I want to finally have some fun. Two year old child seems like a burden to them.

- a family holiday, therefore, it is unreasonable to leave a two-year-old child with grandparents to have fun separately. In addition, your parents are people too, and the New Year may want to celebrate in some other way, and not in caring for your child. And think about your little one, this is the first New Year's Eve in his life when he will perceive everything that happens quite meaningfully, because a two-year-old child is already “big”. Therefore, let's try to celebrate the New Year with a two-year-old baby.

Most of all, children of this age like to help their mother, to feel their importance in any process. Therefore, start decorating your house, buy more colorful tinsel, ask the child to serve you one at a time, you can put a Christmas tree on the walls from it and hang toys, decorate curtains and doors. Imagine. A two-year-old child is already happy to help even to fantasize!

The second procedure, beloved by all children, is decorating the Christmas tree. It's great if this New Year's tree with a child is real, so that you can smell the needles - the smell of the New Year, but there is no big trouble if you put an artificial one, but there must be a Christmas tree in the house! What is the New Year with a child without his most important guest?

Secure the tree as securely as possible so that it cannot fall on the child in any way. It is worth considering carefully the choice of Christmas tree decorations - they can be unbreakable. The best option if the toys are edible. Now in the store you can find a wide variety of chocolate toys in the form of various figurines, mushroom cookies, tangerines, apples - whatever, depending on what a two-year-old child is already eating, if he or one of your guests still decides to try tooth Christmas tree toy.

A 2-year-old can help you, decorate the Christmas tree. Ask your child to give you toys, for example, "Give me a bunny", if the child already knows the colors or shapes, then "Give me a white bunny", "round mandarin." This game develops attentiveness, you repeat words, colors, shapes of objects. If the child is already talking, you can, on the contrary, ask him what color the toy he is giving you. Most children enjoy showing off their knowledge.

Do not forget about the garland, because the magic of the New Year is given precisely by the multi-colored lamps on the tree. What a New Year without a friendly - "Christmas tree, light up" ?! A two-year-old will happily shout it out with you.

So, the tree is decorated, it's time to think about who your child will be on New Year's Eve. At this age, he will not be able to tell you that he wants to be a mouse, a snowflake or a musketeer, so it is your task to come up with an image and make a costume. Now on the Internet you can find a huge number of costume options. Can be sewn by yourself or purchased from the store. Assess your capabilities. And, of course, remember that in a suit made by mom, your child will always be unique, because the suit was made with great love and diligence.

And then suddenly it turns out that three identical bunnies will come to you for the New Year, which one is yours !? The costume is invented, it is important that the child is familiar with the character he will represent. If this is Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Malvina, Fairy - read the child a fairy tale in which this hero is involved. That is, the child should know who he was dressed up, it will be interesting for him, believe me!

The holiday preparations are over. It remains to decide: where and with whom to celebrate the New Year with a child? The simplest and least expensive option is to celebrate in a small family circle. Only the people closest to the child, perhaps, apart from the parents, also grandparents. In this case, you will not need to cook a lot of food. If you decide to invite friends with children, or go to friends yourself, then make sure that all the children are interested in the holiday.

Firstly, if you intend to give gifts, then only all the children, so that there are no quarrels and fights, and secondly, you need to think over a plan of activities for children, that is, some kind of contests, dances, etc., so that your children do not remain "abandoned" v . Of course, there is no need to "overload" the kids, they should have time to unwrap gifts, play with them enough.

About Santa Claus New Year invitations, there is no unequivocal recommendation, since many children already at the age of two perceive it adequately. But, nevertheless, most are still afraid of a discharged stranger's uncle (even if it is one of their own), so weigh everything carefully so as not to scare the child. But if, before the holiday, the child happily looked at the picture with Santa Claus and waited impatiently - when will he come? - it will be very upsetting if the child does not wait for Santa Claus.

According to psychologists, children are easier to perceive Snow Maiden, so if you really want a New Year's character with gifts (and the child does not perceive strangers well, and Santa Claus too), then it is best to consider the Snow Maiden. Simply by explaining to the child that his grandfather had urgent matters, he sent his granddaughter, and next New Year they will definitely come together. There are a lot of options! You can play with this situation with the toy Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. "Grandfather Frost came and brought you gifts."

About the children's menu... Best of all, if you have the opportunity to set the table for the children separately, so that it does not have those products that the children cannot, but really want if they see them at the common table. You need to feed only at the beginning of the banquet, then the child, as he wants to eat something, will be able to take it from the children's table without terrorizing the parents.

Plenty of fruit, bake a pie or cake - a little bit of sweetness on New Year's will not hurt the child, but just a little bit (if one of the invited children is not allergic to sweets, find out in advance)! Dried fruit compote, jelly, juice, perhaps some small dough puffs with chicken inside. Improvise. But remember to eat healthy children.

All the contests are over, the kids have played enough, they danced around the Christmas tree, considered the gifts, time to sleep! There are two diametrically opposed opinions of parents - some believe that the child should be put to bed as usual, others for allowing the baby to wait for the twelve o'clock chimes. Determine for yourself whose position is closer to you.

Maybe it's worth a two-year-old to meet first day of new year with joyful exclamations: "Hurray, Happy New Year!", and look out of the window the lights of the New Year's fireworks. It's up to you to decide. And now the children are laid, adults can relax a little and have fun like an adult, just not loudly, so as not to wake up the peacefully sleeping children. You can play adult games, sing karaoke, watch New Year's programs!

Happy New Year!!!

Who truly believes that it is Santa Claus who puts gifts under the Christmas tree? Who really believes that a magic staff blows a Christmas tree on fire? Who writes a letter to Santa Claus and does not have the slightest doubt that all requests and wishes will come true? Of course, these are our children.

In order not to destroy this touching belief in miracles, it is very important for us adults to think about how where to celebrate the New Year 2018 with a child.

New Year for the little ones

If your child is very small, then it is best for the child, and for you too, to celebrate the New Year at home. The main thing is to organize the holiday correctly. Order the arrival of Santa Claus and Snegurochka on New Year's Eve.

You can't even imagine how much joy your baby will have when he climbs on his knees to Grandfather and tells his beloved wizard about his most cherished dreams and desires. Of course, children should be well prepared to welcome dear guests. Come up with and prepare a small concert with your child in advance.

Let your little one show all their talents. Whether it will be poetry, songs and dances, or drawings on the wallpaper and selfies on the phone, it doesn't matter. The main thing is that the little artist should enjoy it, and Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden will certainly be delighted.

Be sure to prepare a treat for long-awaited guests with your children. How else? After all, Santa Claus was traveling to you from a distant northern country and was carrying New Year's gifts. And now about the gifts. Remember that the best gift for children will be something that they strongly desired, not you.

Therefore, listen carefully and remember what made a lasting impression on the baby throughout the year. Even if it was a regular coloring or a hair clip. It is important that Santa Claus fulfilled his cherished desire.

When a child is small, then after all the events of the New Year's day, he, most likely, will sleep sweetly under the chimes. And you, dear parents, can freely celebrate the New Year in your adult company. Just don't celebrate too loudly. Do not bother your children from watching magical dreams on New Year's Eve.

Yes, and do not forget during the adult fun to put a gift under the Christmas tree (you can choose this one according to your taste, but still taking into account the preferences of the child), which Santa Claus brought for your baby at three o'clock in the morning, returning to his distant Lapland. Then, on the first day of the new year, your child will be happy that New Year's miracles continue.

Fun at New Year's parties

A great opportunity for a child to plunge into New Year's miracles, unless, of course, he has become quite an adult, this is a New Year's party. Such a meeting of the New Year 2018 with a child is suitable for both toddlers and older children.

Fascinating festive programs take place on New Year's days in palaces of culture, entertainment centers, children's art houses, cinemas, clubs, cafes and restaurants. Pre-familiarize yourself with the content of the matinee, choose the one that you think will be interesting for your children, prepare carnival costumes and go have fun.

If possible, invite your friends, who also have children, to join the company. And you will have someone to talk to, and children with their friends in a new environment will be more comfortable and interesting.

New Year's Eve trip for children and their parents

If you do not want to be at home on New Year's Eve, and your children are ready to travel, then go on a New Year's journey. But where? There are endless options: to the village to grandparents, to a ski resort, to warm overseas countries, to the capital of our homeland, Moscow, or to Verkhniy Ustyug, to the homeland of Santa Claus.

You can go to Verkhniy Ustyug, which is famous for its historical sights, beautiful architecture, numerous tourist routes, and a ski resort. This place is notable for being one of the best in Russia for family vacations. Give your children a gift that they will remember with delight for more than one year.

Go to Ustyug to visit Father Frost himself. The city is the residence and summer residence of the main wizard of the country. It will be incredibly interesting for children to see the Terem of Santa Claus, which amazes with the beauty of carving and decoration, leave a letter with their desires, walk along the Path of Fairy Tales, ride a sleigh with the Snow Maiden and, of course, chat with Grandfather Frost and take a picture with him as a souvenir.

Also in Verkhniy Ustyug you and your children will find a large selection of winter entertainment, a New Year's fair, concert and competition programs and skiing. Here your child will be able to ski for the first time and learn the art of skiing in the most comfortable conditions.

The tracks of Ustyug are specially made for children and beginners, gentle, with small drops, three hundred meters long. And down the slope you rush on skis, and upstairs you also go uphill on skis, only you are driven by a snowmobile. Children are delighted with such a rise, and adults too.

If you want to give your children the summer sun for the New Year, then go with the whole family to Bali. The warm sea, hot sun, beautiful nature and New Year's mood are real magic. On the island, children will not only have a rest, but also have a good time.

You can go on educational excursions, see historical sights, visit parks with a wide variety of exotic plants and animals. Masters of various types of applied arts will hold interesting master classes for children and teach them wood and ivory carving, silk painting and the preparation of national Balinese delicacies.

Just do not forget that you have come to Bali to celebrate the New Year. The Balinese will take care of it though. For children and adults, New Year's festive events, funny game programs and a traditional round dance around the winter beauty Elka are held here. Santa Claus with gifts will certainly rush to the holiday, only not on a sleigh through the snowy expanses, but on a jet ski on the ocean.

“What a holiday - New Year?
The earth sings merrily
Laughter and screams are heard all over the place
The kids are looking forward to a miracle ... "

Only adults are able to make expectations a reality, celebrating the New 2018 with a child not at home, but somewhere in an unusual place: by going on a trip, for example. There are a lot of routes for the trip, even in Russia, even abroad. Go?

It will be interesting that migratory birds winter in the region of Evpatoria on the Black Sea. Flocks of swans have chosen the coast during these months, and if you spend holidays here, then communication with nature, flora and fauna will add a lot of pleasant impressions.

St. Petersburg and Moscow

If you plan entertainment events in Moscow, then they will definitely leave a positive and lasting impression. There are many interesting places where you can celebrate the New 2018 with children.

With children, you can visit the circus, theaters, street fairs and exhibitions organized especially for the holiday. Fabulous installations and fairs are unfolding on the streets of Moscow; these are exactly the places where it is worth celebrating the New Year 2018 with children.

This does not apply to the skating rink on Red Square, which is flooded before the New Year holidays and receives guests without restriction. But it will be difficult to get here on New Year's Eve too because of the large influx of people who wish.

For cultural recreation, the Russian Academic Youth Theater offers its visitors the New Year's performance "The Nutcracker". The doors of the theater will be open on December 31 and January 1 for everyone who wants to get into a fairy tale.

Then you can visit the amazing and modern exhibition of transformers and robots, it will open its doors from mid-December and until the end of winter will be happy to welcome visitors of all ages.

An extensive program for celebrating the New Year is planned in the northern capital. It makes sense to go to St. Petersburg for New Year's festivities with older children. Here guests of the city and local residents will be offered holiday quests, sand animation, many New Year's performances in theaters and in the open air.

But not only the capitals and famous winter resorts of Russia can be of interest to parents and children on holidays. A trip to Kostroma for the New Year will be fascinating, interesting and informative, for example, where you can cheerfully meet 2018 and relax with children.

An interesting fact is that the Snow Maiden comes from Kostroma. This cozy Russian colorful city is being transformed for the holiday. The streets are becoming light, bright and elegant, and a Christmas tree is installed on the central square and wide festivities are organized around it.

Another primordially Russian city that you can visit with children in order to celebrate the New 2018, where the holidays are held according to Russian traditions, is Suzdal. There is simply a fabulous nature and wide open-air winter festivities, fairs and fun for children organized in the open air.

We keep traditions

New Year is a family holiday. It is customary to celebrate it with the family. Often we just have a family dinner with those family members with whom we live under the same roof. But you can add variety and gather the whole family with distant or maybe close relatives in the village. Such a holiday will be held romantically, comfortably and in a New Year's way. Children will be able to frolic in the snowdrifts in the yard, sculpting a snow woman and building a fortress. You can also decorate the Christmas tree on the street, or you can also decorate the house.

With small children, it is not always possible to go somewhere from home. Therefore, you can organize a real holiday within the walls of your own apartment by inviting Santa Claus and Snegurochka or any other heroes that the baby loves. Today, many event agencies offer such services on New Year's Eve and on any day of the winter holidays.

Whatever option parents choose to celebrate the New Year 2018 with their children, the main thing will be the fact that these days the family will get together and the children will receive a share of parental love and attention, which, at times, they lack on weekdays.
