Craft a winter forest with your own hands. Openwork Christmas tree made of paper. Crafts from cones

21.10.2019

In winter, when foliage flies from the trees and even late flowers bloom, the garden becomes gray and dull. Even the most beautiful courtyard in the cold season loses the lion's share of its charm. However, there are tons of ways to decorate your site. Find out what winter crafts you can make with your own hands for your yard and garden. Learn to create unique decor from the most unexpected materials - ice, snow, pine cones, plastic bottles and much more.

What crafts can decorate a winter garden

In summer, the main decoration of the garden is flowers and trees. With the onset of cold weather, you have to look for new solutions. The most important thing that can be done is to provide a place for evergreen shrubs or plants with decorative berries and bark at the stage of landscape design.

Green bushes of boxwood, thuja, bright spots of mountain ash or viburnum berries look elegant precisely in the cold season. For the same purposes, plant a hellebore, rose hips, dogwood, pampas grass, holly.

Even in winter, you can make the garden beautiful and cozy.

And in order to make the site look even more elegant and interesting, make creative winter crafts with your own hands. Involve children in the work, they will surely enjoy creating unusual things from ordinary materials.

Snowmen and company - traditional winter guests

What is the most in the winter garden? Of course snow! With its help, you can turn the site into a real winter fairy tale. The first thing that comes to mind is to make a snowman. This children's fun can be put to good use by decorating the finished snowman with a cute scarf and hat, handing him a decorative broom.

Cute snowman

Together with children, you can sculpt the most fantastic figures from the snow and decorate ready-made creations. For this, ordinary watercolor, gouache, food colors and even brilliant green are suitable. Coloring snow creations is easy:

To get started, prepare 1 liter jars or cut plastic bottles for mixing paints. Fill them with water.
Dilute the paints in water. Remember that the solution must be quite saturated so that the finished figurine is not pale, but bright.
Start painting the snow. It is convenient to paint a large area of one color from a spray bottle. If it's a pity to smear the sprayer in paint, just pour the solution into a plastic bottle and make more holes in its cap. Narrow stripes or lettering is best obtained with a small, thin-nosed watering can. Paint over complex elements with large brushes or a piece of foam rubber.

Snow craft

Instead of snow figurines, you can build a real castle, build an Eskimo dwelling or an impromptu fence. For construction, you need to make snow bricks. For this, cardboard boxes are very useful. They are packed tightly with snow, and then gently shaken out. The finished blocks are stacked on top of each other according to the brickwork principle.

The kingdom of ice on a personal plot

Another available material for unlimited winter creativity is ice. If you have children, invite them to make winter crafts from tinted ice with you with your own hands. The multicolored ice figures do this:

Prepare enough water in separate containers and stir the paints in it. The richer the solution, the brighter the figures will turn out.
Pour the water into molds. To do this, use children's "pasochki", buckets, balloons, rubber gloves. It is convenient to pour water into the balls using a watering can. Tie the filled balls or gloves tightly. Leave all the blanks in the frost overnight.
Dip the frozen blanks in a bucket of warm water and remove the mold (just break the balls). That's all. Lollipop-like figures can be placed along the paths, under the trees, by the gate.

Ice figurines resemble candy

Ice pendants for trees are made according to the same principle. Use silicone bakeware, baby sandwich molds, or any other suitable container for the molds. Before pouring water, do not forget to put a piece of rope in each container to attach the finished crafts to the branches. Pendants made of various berries, flowers, petals frozen in clear water look very attractive.

Ice pendants on the branches

If you plan to spend winter evenings in the garden, make unusual candlesticks out of ice. Sequence of work:

Prepare two cylindrical cans large enough to fit easily into the other. The gap between the walls should be 1.5-2 cm.
Pour 2-4 cm of water into a large jar and leave to freeze.
Insert a second can into a container with frozen water and pour water between the walls.
Dip the frozen form in warm water and carefully remove the jars.
In the resulting ice vase, place a pill candle or light bulbs from a Christmas tree garland.

The combination of ice and flame is mesmerizing

Evergreen Jewelry

The winter garden is sorely lacking greenery. Add color with evergreens. The most affordable material for such a decor is spruce or pine branches. Garlands or wreaths from thorny paws can be used to decorate a fence, a gate. Evergreen compositions will replace flowers in empty pots and flowerpots.

Frame for a wreath

A wreath of spruce branches on the gate or front doors is done like this:

Use a thick, flexible wire to bend the ring for the base of the wreath and secure the ends so that it does not fall apart.
Cut the twigs into 20-25 cm pieces.
Fasten the branches with a thin soft wire around the circumference of the base, overlapping with each subsequent branch the attachment point on the previous one.
Decorate the finished wreath with ribbons, cones, bunches of winter berries such as rowan or viburnum.

Connecting branches to the base

All branches are fixed to the frame

If you want to make a composition for a flowerpot, the branches must also be connected with wire and, if possible, attached to the flowerpot so that the winter bouquet is not scattered by the wind.

This is what the finished wreath looks like.

Fabulous winter cone crafts

A basket of cones will completely revive the empty flower bed. They can also be used to make pendants for trees or unusual garlands. When working, keep in mind that the craft will be exposed to atmospheric influences, so the cones should not be fastened together with glue. It is better to connect them with soft wire, passing it imperceptibly between the scales.

Compositions of cones in the garden look elegant on their own, but if you wish, you can paint them in different colors with paints from spray cans. The work must be carried out in the fresh air, but not in the cold, otherwise the paint will lie unevenly.

Cones for decorating the fence

Graceful vine compositions

If you are at least a little familiar with the principles of weaving from a vine, decorate your site with openwork figurines from flexible rods. The advantage of such compositions is that snow practically does not linger on them and the figures are always in sight.

Vine balls

Braided balls of different sizes look very impressive, and it is very simple to make them:

Prepare enough long willow twigs. If there is no vine, you can use any smooth flexible twigs, for example, root shoots of maple, viburnum or lilac. The rods must be moist and flexible.
Bend one twig into a ring around the diameter of the future ball and secure the ends with wire. Prepare 6-8 of these rings.
Insert the rings into one another, forming the outline of a ball. Secure the intersections with wire.
Braid the ball in different directions with thinner twigs. Tuck the ends of the twigs inward so that they do not stick out.
The finished ball can be tied to a string and hung on a tree or attached to a strong thin stick and stuck into a flower bed.

Wicker balls with garlands

Snowman made of plastic bottles

What to do when there is little snow, but you really want to decorate the yard like winter? Make a cute snowman out of plastic bottles! The work seems difficult only at first glance. In fact, making such a winter craft with your own hands is very simple.

To create a snowman you will need:

many clear plastic bottles of the same size;
a coil of fine flexible wire or synthetic twine;
thick wire for the base;
sturdy scissors or a construction knife and awl.

Snowman frame

Stages of work:

First of all, make the frame of the snowman. For the large lower ball, bend the wire pieces in an arc and then stick them into the ground to form a dome.
For the snowman's head, bend 6-8 wire rings and insert them into each other to create a ball frame. Clip the rings together at the intersections.
Connect the upper and lower balls with wire and use it to braid the frame loosely for greater strength.
Cut off the bottoms of the bottles. To make the craft neat, all the blanks must be of the same height and diameter.
It is unlikely that you will be able to find the required number of white bottles, so the cut-off bottoms will have to be painted. Use spray paint or regular enamel. If you decide to paint the workpieces with enamel, then simply pour a little paint into each bottom and distribute it by tilting the workpiece from side to side.
Collect the prepared bottle bottoms in long garlands. Pierce each piece on both sides with an awl and thread wire or strong synthetic string through the holes.
Start shaping the snowman by wrapping the tape from the bottoms around the frame from the bottom up. To prevent the bottles from slipping, fix each turn with pieces of soft wire.
Draw a face and buttons for the finished snowman.

The bottoms must be the same color and size

Connected bottoms of bottles

These snowmen can be made from bottles.

How to decorate your porch or terrace at home

The summer open terrace with the arrival of cold weather becomes a completely uncomfortable place. To make the house look attractive, attach homemade lanterns under the roof or on the windows, decorate the porch with cute crafts.

Openwork lanterns from cans

Canned food cans usually end up in the trash, and they can be easily turned into fancy street lamps. The walls of the cans covered with a see-through pattern transmit light well and color the surrounding space with light spots.

To make flashlights from cans, prepare the following materials and tools:

small cans;
spray paint;
wire;
a printout of a beautiful dot pattern in the size of a can or a drawing drawn by hand;
sand in an amount sufficient to fill the cans to the top;
hammer, nail;
tablet candles.

Tin can lanterns

Sequence of work:

To prevent the cans from deforming during work, fill them to the top with sand, fill them with water and leave them in the frost overnight. The frozen mixture will prevent the walls from losing their shape when working with a hammer.
Wrap the printed paper tightly around the jar and secure with tape so that it does not move during operation.
Cover your work surface with an unnecessary rag. Using a nail and a hammer, punch holes in the jar along the outline of the drawing. At the top edge, make two holes for a loop, from which you can hang the flashlight.
Wait for the tin to thaw, shake out the sand and dry the workpiece. Attach a wire loop to the top edge.
Cover the flashlight with 2-3 coats of spray paint and leave to dry.
Place a candle in the finished craft.

The lights behind the glass look very cozy

Flashlight made of garland and glass jar

You can also make a beautiful flashlight from an old New Year's garland, in which half of the bulbs are no longer lit, and from an ordinary glass jar. It is extremely simple to make it:

Take a glass jar with a volume of 0.2-0.5 liters. The can can be both the most ordinary and curly, for example, from under coffee. Wrap a wire loop around the neck and attach the hanging loop to it.
Do not fold the garland too tightly into the jar, leaving the end with a fork on the outside.
The flashlight is ready, all that remains is to connect the garland to electricity and enjoy the effect.

If you want to make the craft even more elegant, apply the drawing you like to the jar using a can of paint and a paper stencil.

A family of pumpkins will decorate the porch

Bright pumpkin street decor

Pumpkin is a wonderful autumn vegetable, quite capable of serving as a decoration for a porch or terrace. Dried pumpkins are not afraid of frost, so feel free to use them to create winter crafts with your own hands.

Gently cut off the tops of the decorative pumpkins, remove the seeds and some of the pulp. Leave the pumpkins warm to dry for a couple of weeks. It is most convenient to make pumpkin blanks in the fall, immediately after harvesting.

Dried pumpkins are decorative in themselves, they can simply be placed on the steps of the house. Another option is to turn dry vegetables into lanterns by drilling many holes in them with an electric drill.

Crafts for the New Year holidays

When decorating your home for the New Year, do not forget about the yard and garden. With skillful hands, it is possible to turn the site into a real New Year's kingdom.

Luminous sculptures made of cling film and scotch tape

You've probably seen the flickering translucent figurines of deer and other New Year's characters in the windows of shopping centers, and just on the streets. Few people know that such beauty can be done by hand.

Glowing deer made of film and scotch tape

The most interesting thing is that for work you only need a couple of rolls of cling film, a roll of wide adhesive tape and a luminous garland. The only difficulty lies in finding a suitable shape for wrapping with film - these can be oversized garden sculptures, interior figurines and other interesting things.

Stages of work:

Wrap the selected shape tightly and evenly with cling film in 5-6 layers. The more layers, the stronger the sculpture will be.
Stick 2-3 layers of tape on top of the film. It is more convenient to work with segments of 25-30 cm. Try to keep the adhesive tape flat and not wrinkle.
Using a construction knife or scissors with sharp ends, cut the workpiece and remove it from the mold.
Place the garland inside. To ensure that the bulbs fill the space evenly and do not become clumped, fix them in the desired position with pieces of tape. Remember to pull the power plug outward.
Cover the incision with tape. The magic glowing sculpture is ready!

DIY winter crafts for kindergarten. Crafts from paper, from snow and cones. Master classes with photos.

Origami

Herringbone

What do children associate with winter? Of course, the green beauty is a Christmas tree! This tree is a symbol of the New Year holidays and a good, cheerful mood. You can make a Christmas tree craft in various ways and from different materials. For the smallest children, you can offer the option of making a wonderful spruce tree out of paper.

For crafts you will need:

1 sheet of cardboard
green paper,
glue,
scissors.

First of all, you need to roll a cone out of cardboard and glue it so that it keeps its shape. It is best if at this stage someone from the adults will help, so that the base for the Christmas tree is even and neat.

Next, you need to cut out many circles of the same diameter from a sheet of green paper. It will be faster and easier to cope with this task if you fold the sheet into several folds, draw a circle and carefully cut along the contour.

Starting from the bottom, evenly glue the cardboard cone with green circles.

As a result, you will get a beautiful green Christmas tree, which can serve as a table decoration or become part of a large New Year's composition.

You can add decorative elements to decorate the Christmas tree. For example, make small bows from thin satin ribbons and glue them in the form of toys. You can cut out small circles from colored paper of different colors and glue the holiday balls on the Christmas tree, and make a decoration in the form of a red star on the top. Another option for decorating a Christmas tree can be a string of beads, which will turn into a garland: one end must be fixed at the top and evenly wrapped with a string of beads on the cone to the bottom, where the thread is also fixed.

Wonderful winter paper and felt appliques.

snowman

In many kindergartens, the time for walks in winter is reduced, and sometimes, due to bad weather outside, it is necessary to completely cancel access to fresh air. It would be a good idea to make a group applique, which will serve as an excellent decoration for the room and at the same time will develop the skills of working in one team, friendly mutual assistance.

The composition "snowman" is perfect for this, because an unlimited number of children from 3 years old can participate in its creation. Such work is also useful in that it is aimed at the development of fine motor skills of the hands in children. By actively working with their hands, babies activate the work of the brain, which affects the improvement of logical thinking and speech.

To create a snowman you will need:

sheets of white paper,
black, orange and blue paper,
scissors,
pencils,
glue.

Each child takes a sheet of white paper, a pencil and scissors. You need to put your left hand on the paper, circle it with a pencil to get an image like a glove.

Now you need to carefully cut the resulting images out of the paper. This will be the base from which the snowman's body will be formed in the future.

Now is the time to use the glue. The resulting paper "hands" must be connected in the form of circles to get large, medium and small. To simplify the task, you can use a ready-made base in the form of a circle made of white paper, on which the elements cut out by children are glued.

By connecting three circles together, you get a snowman. Now you need to add eyes, a nose and buttons to it. Eyes and eyebrows for the snowman need to be cut out of black paper, orange paper will serve to make a "carrot nose". Snowman buttons can be made from beautiful carved snowflakes. It remains to add a warm bucket hat and a wonderful snowman is ready!

Snow crafts

By clearing paths in the courtyard of the kindergarten and dumping all the snow into one big snowdrift, you can show creativity and imagination, turn an ordinary pile of snow into a Christmas tree! To do this, it is necessary to lightly tamp the top layer of snow so that the Christmas tree turns out to be even and beautiful from all sides.

You can decorate a wonderful Christmas tree with your children, for this you need to dissolve the green gouache in water, and then draw twigs with a thick brush.

You can add different decorations to the tree, for example, holiday balls. To do this, circles must be cut out of bright pieces of fabric. It is very easy to attach them to a snowy fir tree, it is enough to wet the fabric well in water and put it on the snow. In freezing temperatures outside, the water will quickly turn into ice and securely attach the balls to the snow.

Snow caterpillar

A funny caterpillar can become an original decoration for a walk area in a kindergarten. In order not to freeze on walks, young children need to move more, spend time in the fresh air actively.

The task of rolling snow balls will appeal to many children, for such an active activity the time will fly by unnoticed. When the snowballs are ready, they need to be laid out in a curved line to make a caterpillar.

The first snowball will be the muzzle. Eyes, nose and mouth are conveniently made from plastic bottle caps.

You can decorate a funny caterpillar with paint dissolved in water, it is good to use gouache or food colors. Such water not only allows you to paint a snow craft, but also perfectly holds the snow balls together and gives the whole structure strength.

Crafts from cones

Little men

Cones are an excellent natural material for making crafts.

To make funny little people from cones you will need:

bumps,
soft-wound wire - chenille wire,
plasticine,
paints,
plastic spoons,
ready-made eyes for making toys,
Double-sided tape,
cork from a plastic bottle,
universal glue,
scissors.

First of all, it is necessary to paint the cone well; for this, each scale on the cone is carefully painted over with a brush. Before work, the cone must be well dried so that the paint does not get your hands dirty during work.

Use glue to fix the bump in a vertical position in the plastic lid. When the glue has dried and the cone is well kept in the lid, the upper part of the cone is cut off with scissors, and the resulting depression is filled with plasticine.

Cut off the handle from the white plastic spoon, leaving about 1 cm in length so that you can stick this part into the plasticine. Thus, the little man should have a face.

The next step is to work with wire. To make the little man's hands, you need to cut off two small pieces of wire about 5 cm long and attach them to the cone using plasticine. A warm hat for a little man can be made of wire in a soft winding, for this you need to wind a piece of wire about 10 cm long in a spiral in the shape of a cone.

It is necessary to revive the little man, for this, the eyes are fixed with the help of small pieces of double-sided tape, drawn with felt-tip pens or small balls of plasticine are glued in the form of a mouth and nose.

You can additionally decorate the little man with shiny snowflakes or stars, add a scarf around his neck. As a result, you should get a cheerful person who will bring a good mood and a charge of positive emotions for the whole winter!

For those who, despite their inexperience in creative matters, decided to help the child with a craft, we offer ideas describing the process of making crafts in a kindergarten on the theme of "Winter" with their own hands (photos and step-by-step instructions are later in the article).

How nice it is on a frosty winter evening to sit in warmth and comfort, at home with children and make something like that. The snow-white landscape outside the window and the intricate openwork of ice floes on the glass evoke motives and plots for creativity. For those who are passionate about creativity and to some extent own a particular technique, it is quite easy to come up with a plot and bring it to life, and even together with a child, preparing for a thematic exhibition in a kindergarten in the winter, New Year period.

Herringbone, Christmas tree - forest scent

Winter for children is, first of all, the New Year! And what is the New Year without an elegant tree? It will be very interesting to make the baby with his mother and take his own forest beauty to the kindergarten, and even unusual and very beautiful. Here are some crafts in a kindergarten on the theme of "winter" with a Christmas tree you can do with your own hands (photos step by step and descriptions are given below).

Pasta beauty

For crafts, you can use pasta so beloved by almost all children. Making such a beautiful Christmas tree from pasta is not only pleasant, but also useful. When working with parts of this size, children develop fine motor skills of the fingers, which has a beneficial effect on the overall development of the little one.

Let's see how to make this Italian pasta style Christmas tree. We will prepare everything you need:

Pasta. They can be of any shape, not only the one shown in the photo. Let the kid dig into the pasta and choose the suitable ones that he likes.
The cone is the basis for the tree. It can be a plastic stemmed glass. It is a very convenient option, since, having detached the leg, you can use it as a stand. You can also use ready-made foam blanks, which are sold in craft stores, or roll a cone out of thick paper yourself.
Glue. Better if it is a thermo-glue, as it glues all the details instantly. But in this case, an adult needs to be engaged in this procedure, and not trust her child in order to avoid a burn.
Green paint and brushes. It is better to use acrylic, but gouache will also work.
Any beads, bows, ribbons, rhinestones or just other shapes of pasta for a Christmas tree dress.

Let's get started:

Step-by-step photos for this wonderful craft in the kindergarten on the theme of "winter" with your own hands are given below for a more visual aid.

Openwork Christmas tree made of paper

Here is another option for DIY crafts in the garden with the image of a Christmas tree (see photo below). These are miniature openwork Christmas trees on paper. They can be made very easily and quickly together with the baby. For one craft, you can make several such beauties and stick them on the base, decorating the composition in the form of a winter forest and complement the picture with snowdrifts made of paper or cotton wool, snowflakes.

any decorative material in order to dress up Christmas trees. These can be small buttons, rhinestones, pompons, beads and sequins.

We start to create:

There is another technique that will make it possible to make truly masterpieces out of paper - quilling. Thanks to the narrow, twisted strips of paper, you can lay out openwork, like lace Christmas trees, snowflakes, any animals, landscapes.

The patterns in this technique are mesmerizing and do not leave anyone indifferent. If you explain to the child the basics of quilling and the procedure, he himself will be able to make a snowflake or Christmas tree for kindergarten.

Snowflakes

The technique involves curling very narrow strips of paper and sticking them onto a sheet - the base. But you can also make voluminous crafts from thick strips using quilling technology.

Let's take a step by step with a photo the craft "Snowflake" in the kindergarten on the theme of "winter" and do it yourself.

What will be needed:

office white paper. It needs to be cut into even, identical strips. For a snowflake, it is fashionable to make strips 1 cm wide;
scissors;
ruler with circles of different diameters;
a toothpick for twisting elements;
PVA glue for fastening elements;
you can take a beautiful braid in order to make a loop for a snowflake and hang it on a Christmas tree or on a wall.

We start to tinker:

cut straight strips of bull paper;

now we twist the elements. We twist all the strips the same way. We press one end to a toothpick and begin to wind the entire strip tightly;

we fold all the elements into a snowflake according to the scheme and glue the joints;
when the glue dries, you can attach a ribbon;
such a snowflake can be sprinkled with glitter varnish to make it elegant and shiny.

When the principle is clear, you can tackle any image. Here are a few more photos of quilling crafts for help and inspiration.

I blinded him from what was

It is very entertaining and fun to make crafts with children from the unnecessary that is in the house. Kids are very happy when any used household items that are usually thrown away can be used in an unusual way and create a small miracle out of them. We offer several do-it-yourself crafts for the kindergarten on the theme of "winter" from improvised material, photos and descriptions of which are given below.

Penguin from a plastic bottle

Be sure to make this wonderful penguin with your children, and maybe even a couple. If you do not send him to the kindergarten for the exhibition, then such a cutie can be put at home under the Christmas tree together with Santa Claus and Snegurochka. It is done simply and quickly.

We will prepare everything you need:

two plastic bottles of the same size.
glue (preferably a thermo-gun, it glues very quickly).
acrylic paints and 2 brushes (wide and thin).
some yarn for knitting.
scraps of fabric.
you can use any filler or weighting material inside the penguin, or do without it, the penguin will be light, but still stable.

Let's start creating a penguin:

You need to cut the bottles as in the photo below, leaving one bottom from one bottle and the lower part a little higher from the other bottle.
We glue 2 parts of the bottles. The bottom will be a hat, and the part that is higher will be the body of a penguin.
We paint the entire structure white and let it dry well.
We outline the contour of the abdomen, the one that remains white. Let's go over it again with white paint, and paint the rest up to the cap (to the top part) with black paint. Leave to dry.
Now we paint the hat in any color and with any ornament. First, paint the cap in the main color, let it dry and draw the details.
We draw a muzzle: 2 dots of eyes and a triangular beak.
We make a pompom from threads. We wind the threads on a larger fork. On the one hand we tie the wound threads, on the other we cut them. We got a pom-pom. We glue it to the top of the head.
Cut a strip from the fabric. This is a scarf, we tie it to the penguin.

An easy-to-execute and effective craft for the kindergarten on the theme of "winter" turned out, and a detailed photo will help you make it yourself.

Girdyanda

Another wonderful craft for the kindergarten, which you can do with your own hands from improvised material. This is a garland or Christmas tree decorations made of light bulbs that have already burned out.

For her you need:

burnt out light bulbs;
acrylic paints;
any scraps of fabric or felt;
braid and rope for the base of the garland.

Getting started:

First you need to think about which of each light bulb we will make. These can be snowmen, santas, dogs, penguins and any other living creatures.
We color the bulbs for the selected character. You can focus on the given photos.
We complement the image with ears, scarves and caps made of fabric or felt. No special pattern is needed for these toys, just cut out the part to a suitable shape and glue it on.
Now we attach a braid to each toy light bulb and, if desired, collect it for a garland.

Healthy lifestyle in everything

Winter is not at all the time to sit at home, fleeing the cold, infections and colds. Winter is the time for active outdoor games. Skiing, sledding, snowballs, fortresses and snowmen are what this time of year cannot be imagined without. Let's reflect this in the craft for the kindergarten on the theme of "winter", which we will do with our own hands (photos of such crafts below).

Fun and mischievous skiers can be made using the templates below. They need to be translated onto paper, cut and decorated. Give them ski skewers in their hands and put (glue) them on the skis from ice cream sticks.

You can make several of these skiers and hang them on a ribbon or put them on cotton drifts. To do this, take the lid from the cardboard box and glue cotton wool into it, and glue the skiers on top. The craft can be supplemented with Christmas trees made of green paper twisted in a cone.

Here are some more winter-themed kindergarten ideas:

you can make a Christmas tree out of handprints cut out of green paper;
and you can collect a wreath of the same palms;
snowman made of thread balls. To do this, you need to inflate 2 balloons and wrap them in polyethylene, wrap them with white threads soaked in PVA glue, let them dry and burst the balloons, pulling them out from the inside. We glue both balls one above the other, decorate with a cap and a nose made of an orange paper cone, tie a scarf to it;

you can use twigs painted with white paint and make a wreath out of them, decorate with any beads, sequins, pendants that are at home;
the craft can be molded from plasticine. It could be a winter landscape. Sprinkle it with foam crumbs;

another version of plasticine crafts is a panel. To do this, you need thick cardboard, we do not apply a small drawing to it and paint it not with paints, but with plasticine, rubbing the desired color into the necessary areas;
very nice and cozy crafts are made from threads. We do them like this. It is necessary to chop woolen or acrylic threads of different colors into small crumbs (cut finely). Draw a drawing with large details on paper. This could be a tree and a snowman, for example. Now we coat each part separately with PVA glue and sprinkle with chopped threads of the desired color. We do this with each detail separately.

The most favorite and popular winter sports among children are skiing and skating. The theme of winter sports is reflected in children's winter crafts. Interesting winter crafts for kindergarten can be made using magnets.

In the photo below, a paper clip was attached to a paper girl on skates. A magnet was attached to the bottom of the tin box. It turned out to be a wonderful winter craft, or rather a fun toy. The child drives a magnet along the bottom of the box - the young figure skater repeats all the movements of his hand.

We would like to present you another winter DIY craft for kindergarten. "Ski Track" . This winter-themed craft is also made using a magnet. We make a track for a skier out of a piece of cardboard, place flags (we stick toothpicks with self-adhesive flags into plasticine), stretch the start and finish, plant Christmas trees along the edge (mosaic in plasticine). The skier is obtained from a Lego figure, to which we glue cardboard skis with clips at the bottom. We attach a magnet to a long ruler to control the descent of the skier. Ready! Learning to control a skier, the child will perfectly develop fine motor skills of the hands.

The skier can be done in another way. Draw it on thick paper, paint and cut with scissors. Skis will replace wooden ice cream sticks (or medical spatulas), great ski poles will come from toothpicks or bamboo skewers. Between themselves, the skis are fixed with a piece of plastic tube, to which they are glued on both sides. Thus, it turns out not only an original children's winter craft, but also an exciting fun toy.

If you want to make with your child a simple, but at the same time, original winter craft with your own hands for kindergarten, then we advise you to pay attention to the photo below. In the photo you can see a roller made of paper. Plain high-density white paper was painted with blue watercolor paint and sprinkled with salt on top until the paint was dry. This made it possible to create on paper the effect of an ice coating, like on a real ice rink. The girl and the Christmas trees are also made of paper. The snowdrifts around the skating rink are made of cotton wool.

A winter's tale can also be embodied with the help of plasticine.

To develop your child's creative talents, you should try several techniques and do a few different crafts.

Application winter fun, detail with photo

The application "Winter Fun" is especially popular with children. This is because they can portray what they especially like to do in winter: play snowballs, make a snowman, skate or ski.

There are many ideas for this kind of creative work. Let's highlight two of them.

The advantage of this application is that several techniques are used, and this option also involves cutting out small details. That is why it is suitable for the middle and senior group in kindergarten.

For work you will need:

And also cotton wool to make the snow realistically.

The process will be time-consuming because there are many small parts to be cut out and glued. First you need to cut out all the elements that will be on the canvas. In this case, trees, children, birds and a snowman.

Then you should, without using glue, attach everything to the sheet in order to understand how to make a beautiful composition.

After that, you need to pour some glue into some container and take a brush. This is necessary so that there is no excess of glue, because the elements are all small.

Glue all characters to paper. Where there will be snow, also spread with glue. Pinch off the cotton wool and lay it out evenly.

The craft is ready. The most difficult thing is the preparatory stage, when you need to cut out the decor. And then the creative process will go faster.

Another version of the application on a given topic:

Here the base should first be painted with paints. For this, a blue watercolor is taken and a background is drawn. Above you can draw the sun and clouds.

Then comes the turn of the application. As usual, you can't do without colored paper, glue and scissors.

You will also need several pieces of cotton pads and dry leaves, which need to be broken into small pieces.

The hardest part of this app is to make the boy ski. To simplify the task, it can be cut from the magazine or printed first, and then cut and simply glued.

Then you need to tackle the trees. For this, the surface is greased with glue and dry leaves are poured out.

Finely chop the cotton pads and lay out the mountain on which the skier is riding.

The composition is positioned at an angle. It is important to observe this in order to obtain a descent effect.

Applique winter landscape, step by step

Application is impossible without the child's personal vision of the object of work. The theme "Winter landscape" makes you appreciate the beauty of this time, highlight the important for yourself, and then transfer it to paper.

The child must choose for himself what he wants to portray: an urban winter landscape, a rural, snow-covered grove or mountains.

Below is a variant in the style of "Urban winter landscape":

This applique is based on cotton pads and colored paper. It is also suitable for children of the younger group of kindergarten, because it does not have too small details and all the shapes are correct.

For the creative process you will need:

First, preparatory work precedes: you need to cut out larger multi-colored rectangles from colored paper - these are at home. And also smaller - these are windows and doors.

You also need to cut out snowflakes and cut cotton pads in half (but not all).

Now comes the crucial moment - you need to glue everything. It is better to take cardboard as a basis, so the craft will last longer in an integral form.

Then dip the brush into the glue and smear each element one by one and glue it in place.

You can see the process in more detail in the following video:

Winter sports application, step by step

Many people associate winter sports with figure skating. The applique in the shape of skates will be an excellent souvenir for the New Year's holiday, and can also turn into a Christmas tree decoration.

The wizard's set is small:

glue;
colored paper;
scissors;
paper clips.

Beads, sequins, etc. can also be used for decoration.

First you need to make a blank: draw a sketch of skates on paper. Then - cut them out.

The paper must be folded in half so that later you can attach paper clips.

Now you can do the decor and decorate the skates as you see them. After that, a paper clip is taken and one edge is threaded between two layers of paper.

Such an application can arouse interest in the winter sport of figure skating.

Winter applique senior group, step by step

In the senior group of the kindergarten, children are already good at using scissors, they understand how to correctly compose a composition, what technique to apply in a particular case.

Educators should teach children:

correctly place objects of different shapes on the sheet;
in parallel, select synonyms for the subjects with which the child will work;
new terms in the field of drawing;
the process of socialization must go through, so the heroes of the application should not be alone.

Considering that children in the older group can independently decide what to take as the basis of their application, the older ones can only remotely correct.

This option combines several techniques for creating an applique, so it will be useful for children to make it.

To implement your plan, you need to prepare:

peas;
glue;
cotton pads;
colored paper;
white paint for painting;
brush.

First you need to cut out the elements of a snowman and a tree from colored paper. Then take a blue sheet of paper and glue the barrel. Lay the pea herringbone on top. To do this, each pea must be dipped in glue. The Christmas tree should be decorated with a star.

Then the cotton pads should be cut in half. Lay out the snowman from whole and cut discs. Supplement it with colored paper elements.

You need to make snow around from cotton pads. Use paint and a brush to create a snowfall effect.

The hardest part in this applique is to make a herringbone, because the peas do not stick to the paper the first time.

Winter application preparatory group, step by step with a photo

Children in the preparatory group also have high creative skills, they can choose their own technique and application theme.

It is important to improve your skills, because light applications should be postponed and a complex, complex option should be chosen.

This option is multi-level. Elements are angled to create a realistic effect.

If you place items incorrectly, chaos will result. This is exactly the task for children from the preparatory group.

You will need a little materials: only glue and colored paper.

It is important to cut trees beautifully, because they set the tone for the work. To do this, you need to use the technique of cutting out a snowflake: fold the paper in half and make cuts on one side.

If the child cannot do this, then you can use ready-made templates. One has only to cut them out and attach them to colored paper, circle them and also cut them out.

When the trees are ready, you need to cut out the elements of the house, fence, clouds. The main canvas will consist of two colors - blue at the top and blue at the bottom. This will also visually delimit the appliqué.

Lay out the elements in the correct order at the desired angle and glue.

Winter applique middle group, step by step with photo

Creating a winter applique in the middle group is a must. This develops the child's aesthetic perception, teaches how to correctly combine colors and shapes, and observe the measure.

You can take this option as a basis:

It combines regular shapes and carved, different textures. But at the same time, the application has one level, which makes it easier for the child.

Also, on this option, it is easy to get acquainted with the process of gluing not only paper, but also cotton pads, which is a more difficult task.

To create an applique you need to buy:

colored paper;
cotton pads (2 - 3 pcs);
glue and scissors;
eyes with a bead in the middle or can be pasted out of paper.

The algorithm of actions will be as follows:

Step-by-step execution will avoid mistakes.

Winter applique younger group, step by step with a photo

Winter application in the younger group is impossible without the help of educators. Often it is based on a blank (for example, a tree trunk), and children only need to supplement it.

At the age of 3-4 years, it is preferable for children to deal with plasticine than with scissors. Therefore, the option presented below will be the most optimal for this age category.

Necessary materials:

colored cardboard:
plasticine of different colors;
cotton wool.

Step-by-step course of action:

Use colored cardboard as a base.
Make details for the applique (man, tree, slide) from plasticine.
Decorate the tree with "snow" (cotton wool).
Also, don't forget about the snowfall. White plasticine will help realize this idea.

Such work also develops hand motor skills, which is very beneficial for the development of the brain.

Winter tree applique, step by step with photo

The child's understanding of a winter tree can be different: with an armful of snow on the branches, or, conversely, standing sadly without foliage. It is difficult to imagine a more "winter" tree than spruce or pine. In a festive outfit, these trees are a symbol of winter, holiday, fun.

The work algorithm will be as follows:

cut out their colored paper two Christmas trees (larger and smaller) of different colors;
first glue a large template on the base, and already a small one on it;
cut a star and glue it to the top of the tree;
take buttons, apply glue to them and glue them on a small Christmas tree;
rhinestones can be glued around the perimeter of a large Christmas tree.

When a child is working with buttons and other small objects, an adult must be nearby so that the child does not swallow these elements.

The process of creating such an application is presented in the video:

Volumetric craft winter forest, step by step with a photo

The volumetric craft "Winter Forest" will take a lot of time. But this is a good opportunity to develop a child's vision of volumetric details, teach them how to properly position them in space, and measure them in size.

For example, you can take the following work:

There are two options for creating it:

simplified (if there are ready-made figures of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, souvenir Christmas trees and a house);
more complex (all elements must be done manually).

To implement the first option, you need to take a cardboard base. Prepare all the elements that will be located on it and glue it one by one. Large objects such as a house will require more glue.

All the space that remains free, also spread with glue and lay out cotton wool - this will be an imitation of snow.

The fence can be made of cardboard, ice cream sticks or candles. The last option is very interesting because they can be lit and the craft will look spectacular. But at the same time, do not forget that it is dangerous. Vata can quickly catch on fire, so you need to do this only in the presence of adults.

How do I attach candles to the base? You can make small slots in the cardboard and carefully place the candles there.

If there is no ready-made decor at hand, then Christmas trees can be made from plasticine.

And the house is made of matchboxes, as in this video:

Winter applications from cotton pads, in detail with a photo

Cotton pads are frequent guests of winter applications. They are very reminiscent of snow drifts, they are easy to shape, and can also be easily painted with paints in the desired color.

A large selection of possible crafts is sure to inspire your unique creation.

Example # 1:

All elements on this applique (except for snowflakes) are made of cotton pads:

the sun and clouds are carved from them;
to create a snowman, you need to take a full-fledged cotton pad, and also cut out smaller circles;
to make a herringbone, you need to twist the disks.

This applique combines cotton pads and colored paper:

the face of Santa Claus, his hat, eyes and nose are cut out of colored paper;
the beard and pompom are made from cotton pads.

Everything is held together with glue.

A similar technique is used in such an application:

In more detail, the creative process can be viewed in the video:

Creative works develop the potential of the child, help him see the beautiful. Whichever type of creativity is chosen, the child should like it, bring pleasure and reveal his talents. It is also important to show that the child can do beautiful things with their own hands.
