Joint family activities always have a very beneficial effect on the atmosphere in the house. And making crafts on New Year's Eve is a long-standing wonderful tradition in many families. But for all its seeming simplicity, this work is quite painstaking, and it requires a lot of time and effort. But what won't you sacrifice for this fun, meaningful activity? Indeed, from such a pastime, the hearts of all family members unite. And because adults and children are engaged in New Year's crafts, the kids will not only get a lot of joy, but they will also try very hard to make their parents like their work. Therefore, it is important to choose options for crafts in which the child can fully express himself. You also need to properly distribute responsibilities, highlighting the leading role for the baby. And believe me: your efforts will not be in vain.

These snowmen are made from socks. Shall we try?

One of the simple New Year's crafts can be Santa Claus, for the manufacture of which you need a walnut and an apple. These delicious decorations can be placed under the Christmas tree or on a festive table. A head is made from a walnut, on which a face is drawn with paint. The sharp end of the nut is the neck. Then you need to attach hair from cotton wool and the same beard. The cap is made from a triangular piece of felt folded into a cone and glued together, a cotton pom-pom is attached to its top, and the cap is glued to the head. After that, a large red apple is carefully polished with a napkin. A drop of glue is dripped onto his tail and the head is glued. If the family has small children who are used to testing everything by tooth, then glue can be replaced with caramel or gelatin. To connect the parts, you can also use a toothpick.

DIY winter crafts

If you took on DIY winter crafts you can make very cute SNOWFLAKES. Moreover, they can also be very different in terms of complexity. For example, simple ones - from a sheet of paper folded into a corner and cut off in the center and along the edges (either with a simple notch or with more complex figures). Snowflakes can be made voluminous if, according to the standard principle, a sheet of paper is folded several times through the center to the corner, and then counter cuts are made in a checkerboard pattern, but not reaching the edge of the opposite side. In such a snowflake, the top may not be cut off, but the opposite side is cut off with a simple straight cut parallel to the oncoming cuts. After unfolding, the resulting corners are gently wrapped in one direction towards the center and glued. Not involved corners are wrapped on the other side of the product. It turns out a beautiful lush snowflake. You can make this invariable winter attribute of beads and beads. The central circles are made from small beads, and the upper circles are made from ordinary beads. Such a snowflake must be woven from the central circle. You need to take a needle with a fishing line, put 5 beads on it, close it into a ring, and then put on 5 more beads each, from which to make loops again. They must be attached to the beads in the central circle, and then gradually increase the number of beads collected, and attach the loops to the already formed petals. For beaded snowflakes, wire is also suitable, which will make the decoration smoother. Such a snowflake will not bend and it will be more convenient to hang it on a Christmas tree. This is also better because with such weaving a needle does not need to be put on the wire.

Wire and yarn can make a wonderful Christmas decor.

Our inventive mothers, if desired or necessary, can adapt any item for decoration. So New Year's crafts FROM FIGURED PASTA have become very popular. You can dream up with your child and make unusual toys and funny garlands. Even if they are simply painted in gold or white, sprinkled with piece frost, then the Christmas tree will sparkle from them, and the baby will be simply delighted. For the little ones, simple toys made according to cardboard templates are suitable. The child will be able to cut out figures from paper, felt or foil on them. You can also adapt unnecessary beads and buttons found at home, different in shape and color. Their child can sew according to his own taste to previously made figures. Then they must be hung on the Christmas tree in the place of honor.



For crafts, you will need different shapes of pasta, glue and sparkles.

Children's winter crafts

For older guys, you can offer more serious kids winter crafts requiring certain skills. So younger students can easily cope with the New Year's crafts - SLIPPERS WITH SANTA FROST. Of course, they can be made "in an adult way" - from thick felt, insoles, padding polyester. But in our case, a simpler one is suitable - a souvenir version of slippers that can be hung, for example, for combs in the hallway. They are made either from thick fabric or cardboard. At the same time, the child circles his foot on the cardboard and cuts out the base. Then he cuts out the top of the slipper from another piece of cardboard, and you can offer him to cut out its shape according to the template you made previously. Before connecting both blanks, the upper part is decorated under the face of Santa Claus. To do this, you can take a braid of a suitable tone, thick fabric, colored paper, two white buttons and two black beads, from which eyes are made, multi-colored yarn, a synthetic winterizer for a mustache, beard and cap edging. You can decorate everything with white gouache and sparkles. If your child gives such a souvenir to his beloved grandparents, then their happiness will know no bounds.

A funny version of New Year's crafts - Christmas tree decorations FROM EGG SHELL. At the beginning, from a whole egg (fresh), the protein and yolk are gently blown out through the punctures at its ends. Then the most creative stage begins - decorating the shell. The easiest way is to glue the entire surface of the eggshell with small pieces of colored paper. You can glue different applications from the same colored paper. If you add cotton hair, a mustache, a beard and a paper cap to the drawn mouth, nose and eyes, you can get a cute gnome, clown, Santa Claus or someone else. You can also paste over the egg with sparkles, decorate it with finely chopped “rain”, various ribbons, as well as absolutely everything that comes to your hand. And you can just paint the shell, but not with watercolors and gouache. They do not attach well to the surface of the egg, so oil or acrylic paint is more suitable. The thread for hanging the toy, pre-threaded through both holes, is fixed at the lower end of the egg, for example, with a thread tassel or a bead.

Do-it-yourself crafts for the new year for a kindergarten on the theme of winter, many are asked to bring to kindergarten. Of course, the kids themselves, from the end of autumn, begin to create beauty in order to decorate the group and the kindergarten. However, homework assignments are usually given as well. For parents, this is a unique moment when you can spend a lot of useful time with your child, and at the same time learn something new and learn how to do something unusual.

As a rule, they make them at home and take them to kindergarten for the Winter Crafts competition, traditional since Soviet times. It is clear that the most popular craft here will be a paper Christmas tree or just a postcard, but in this material we offer several simple, beautiful and original master classes in order not only to celebrate participation in the competition this year, but also to take an honorable prize.

DIY crafts for the new year for kindergarten on the theme of winter with a photo

"Winter window"

When it snows outside the window in winter, the house is always warm and cozy. Such a craft will help create a magical fairy-tale atmosphere, and creating it together with a kindergarten child will also strengthen the kid’s scissor skills. Even if there is no real snow outside the window, this craft option will always create the right mood.




What is required for work:
* Winter window template, which can be easily and free of charge printed from the web.
*Cardboard or just high density paper.
* Pouch (as for sandwiches).
*Glue and sugar.
* Spoon and felt.

Cut off the part above the zipper from the bag, but do not cut off the zipper itself. Carefully glue the cut out template to thick paper. On a blue leaf, make a mark around and outside the window. The base must be solid like a rectangle. Now put one and a half large spoons of sugar in the bag, press on the bag so that all the air comes out of it (if you ignore this moment, you will not wait for snow).









It remains to place the sugar in the center of the bag, and put the bag between two pieces of paper. Pour glue on the edges of the bag, as well as in front and behind, there should also be glue on the upper edge of the paper window. Around the template, make curtains for a felt window (if you don’t have it at hand, then just use colored paper). Glue all the details of the winter window onto the bag. When the glue dries, you can play with the window: turn it so that the snowball falls.

Christmas tree made of pasta

On any thematic video, you can see that the most popular do-it-yourself craft for the new year for a winter-themed kindergarten is a Christmas tree. The materials for its manufacture may be different, as an option, consider regular pasta!

For the basis of such a Christmas tree, you can take a plastic glass of a conical shape. If there is no wine glass at hand, you can quickly make such a base yourself from cardboard or plastic, from thick paper. Here it is important to choose a material for the base that is durable, so that it does not deform under the weight of pasta and glue in the process of creating a unique Christmas tree. For this option, we take pasta crafts in the form of small bows. But this is not at all necessary! According to your desire, choose the shape of pasta - spirals, horns, even stars.




Interesting! Small pasta of any shape can be painted with ordinary paints and used already on the finished Christmas tree as a decor, like Christmas balls and garlands.

To keep the pasta well on the base, you can use PVA glue. But the ideal option is if you can fix the elements with a special thermal gun. Green spray paint will help make the Christmas tree realistic, you can use gold paint to paint small pasta like Christmas toys.






The wine glass, if it was he who was taken as the basis, has a base leg. It does not need to be removed until the very end of the craft manufacturing process. Only in the event that the pasta is already dry, the paint will hold firmly, the leg can be removed and the Christmas tree placed on its natural base of pasta. Attach pasta to the base carefully and close to each other, focusing on a checkerboard pattern. You need to make sure that there are no holes left between these elements, otherwise the plastic of the wine glass will be translucent. If so, then this distance is also painted over with green paint.




"Winter picture"

To make such a picture with a child, you need to prepare blue (you can take gray) cardboard, thick paper and glue, you will also need a pencil, cotton balls and rice, as well as green food coloring, water and a sealed bag with a zipper.

Put a little green dye in a teaspoon of water and put it in a bag. Put half a glass of rice there and seal the bag, mix everything well so that the rice is completely covered. Lay the picture on a piece of paper to dry. When the rice becomes dry, it can be further used in crafts. Typically, this will take about half an hour.

On the cardboard of the selected color, draw a line of the border of the sky and snow. Also draw trees, triangular Christmas trees. Apply glue to each shape of the tree, and then sprinkle green rice on it. Now there are thorny pine trees in the picture, place cotton balls under them, cut out the sun or the month from bright paper, add stars to the sky.




Hedgehog from cones

Many parents are in search of what to make crafts for the new year with their own hands for a kindergarten on the theme of winter from cones. You can consider this delightful and easy-to-make option. On the one hand, this is just a hedgehog, on the other hand, this animal will decorate any New Year's scene.










To make a hedgehog, in addition to a cone, you also need dry pine needles, as well as brown plasticine, black polka dots, and an acorn cap. Collect dry needles in bundles so that they form 7-9 pieces, attach a little plasticine to the ends and fasten the large cone behind the scales. From the ends of the needle can be cut a little.




Brown plasticine is used to make a pointed muzzle of a winter hedgehog, eyes and a nose are made from pepper. Now place the muzzle at the beginning of the cone, and carefully place the acorn cap with a small amount of plasticine on the needles (this is an imitation of mushrooms).

Do you still not know how to properly use plastic bottles?

But for the PARADISE APPLE, everything that is in the kitchen will do. So you can crumple the foil and give it the shape of a small apple. On top of it you need to wrap the finishing layer of the same foil. A peppercorn is glued into the recess at the bottom of the apple, and two holes are pierced in the upper recess, into which the stalk, leaf and fastening thread are inserted. For a handle, you can use a knot, a real ponytail from an apple or a piece of twine, and a leaf can be successfully replaced with a bay leaf, which is better to tint for greater naturalness. Now it remains only to sprinkle the apple with snow. It can be replaced with scraps of paper, small foam balls, or you can use ordinary granulated sugar. In order for the snow not to crumble, the apple should be smeared with glue or transparent varnish (for nails) and rolled in a pre-prepared material for snow. Moreover, you do not need to roll the whole apple, but only one of its sides or top. When the apple dries, it will be ready to hang on the Christmas tree.

Winter crafts from cones

In kindergartens and schools, exhibitions and various craft competitions are often held. Parents, immediately connecting all their fantasy and imagination, begin to invent something original and very effective for everyone to like. Immersed in creative thoughts, they forget that not adult talent will be considered by the jury of the competition or exhibition, but children's. And the baby will not experience any special feelings, because he did not do winter crafts in kindergarten with his own hands. And let it be very beautiful, but he did not participate in its manufacture.

The main thing is participation

Psychologists believe that the child should prepare the crafts on his own, and parents can help him in some way. And this will affect his development, self-esteem.

New Year is a magical holiday that all children are waiting for. You can’t count how many different crafts you can prepare with your child to participate in a winter school or kindergarten exhibition! The child will be happy to join the creative process. It will be very interesting for him. Children love to sculpt, stick and draw something. And here are a few options for how you can make your own. Photos of finished works in the article - for clarity. Based on the description of the creative process, you can make your own adjustments and changes.

Snowman from a plastic plate

There is no need for a kindergarten-age kid to offer to make overly complex winter crafts with their own hands. He will not cope on his own, and watching how his mother makes and glues something is not at all interesting. Offer to try to make such a cute snowman, which you can then hang on the Christmas tree.

It is better to be creative while playing. First you need to interest the child by asking which fairy-tale character can be fashioned from snow, and then offer to make it from improvised materials. A kid of 4-5 years old with his mother's help will be able to make a winter craft with his own hands from an ordinary plastic plate, paper and paints.

On the table in front of the child, lay out everything that is needed in the process. He must independently determine which part to work with at each stage.

So, take a deep plastic plate. A snowman face will be made from it. It is necessary to make incisions in a circle of 1-1.5 cm.

The next step is to work with colored paper. Adults should help the child draw a carrot, a few circles for the mouth, a beautiful hat and decorations for the toy on a sheet of the appropriate color. Eyes can also be made from paper, but purchased ones, those intended for applications and fabric toys, will look more beautiful.

Invite your child to try cutting out some detail. Adapting to scissors is not so easy for small hands. But carving is a great method for developing fine motor skills. In the end, if the baby does not cope, adults will always help.

When all the details are prepared, you can start decorating the snowman. First, the child alternately glues the eyes, then with the help of PVA glue - a nose made of carrots and a mouth made of black circles. To make the snowman look elegant and festive, you should glue a hat on his head and decorate it to your taste. You can use shiny paper, foil, beads and rhinestones. It remains to attach the rope, for which it will be possible to hang the snowman on the Christmas tree.

This type of winter crafts (with your own hands) are very suitable for a kindergarten. The child does everything almost independently, and also motor skills, imagination, and thinking develop in the creative process.

Designer game. Family garden craft - sleigh and snowman

Since the teacher gave the task for the competition to make winter crafts for kindergarten with her own hands, we must complete it. And best of all, by connecting the whole family to creativity, play designers.

Each participant will have their own task. Of course, the child will not only be busy in the process, but will also lead the position of the main head of the family design group. Let the kid try to reveal his organizational skills and feel like a real leader. This will raise his self-esteem and will be reflected in the formation of character.

creative process

Participants receive a task from the leader. Mom will make a snowman. From a synthetic winterizer with a needle and thread, two balls should be made for the torso of a winter fairy-tale hero. From threads, multi-colored fabric and decorative wire wrapped in fluffy yarn, make him hands, headphones, pompoms on his body and a carrot. After you need to sew with a thread all the details of the snowman figurine, finish the decorative elements, glue the eyes. Congratulations to Mom - she did her job.

The kid, although he is a creative director who monitors how winter crafts are made with his own hands for the kindergarten, should still take part too. His task is to decorate ice cream sticks with colorful paints. For a kid 3-4 years old, such a task is within their power. If the child is older, you can entrust him with cutting out small snowflakes from snow-white napkins and then gluing them onto the sled. Then you need to glue the ice cream sticks so that you get a sled, attach a rope to them, and also securely seat the snowman so that he does not accidentally fall at the most crucial moment.

Magic snowflake

Sometimes, it is difficult to invent what children's crafts with their own hands (winter) can be made. It is worth connecting the fantasy. It’s really possible to make funny Christmas tree pendants in the form of snowflakes or angels from pasta and noodles of various shapes. Children of 5-6 years old will cope with such a craft. But adults should not leave the process unattended.

First you need to pick up pasta of various shapes and lay out an ornament from them on the table. If you like the picture, you can start creating. The child should be asked to first paint each detail in a certain color using acrylic paint. A snowflake of gold or silver color will turn out very beautiful. After using transparent glue (select one that dries quickly), you need to attach each detail in the ornament to each other. It remains to figure out how to hang a magic snowflake on a Christmas tree. The craft is ready.

cotton pad angel

Invite a child of 5-6 years old to make a Christmas tree toy in the form of an angel. This type of do-it-yourself winter crafts for school is also suitable. You can come up with a whole composition!

The principle of how to turn cotton pads into angels is very simple. The disk is folded into a triangle and fixed with glue. A large bead sits on top of the glue - this will be the head. The halo is made from a golden thread bundle or wire. Attach a loop to the bead, for which you can then hang the decoration on the Christmas tree. The wings are also cut out of a cotton pad, and then straightened and glued to the body. The craft is ready!

Christmas toy from knitted socks

And such an idea for mothers who are ready to donate a pair of knitted socks to children's creativity or know how to work with knitting needles. Try to make winter crafts with your child (with your own hands) in the form of decorative Christmas balls. For needlewomen who know how to knit, creating a decor for such a New Year's toy is a matter of an hour. But there are mothers for whom this type of needlework is unfamiliar. How to be in this case?

First, pick up a sock with a beautiful winter ornament and a Christmas ball of a suitable diameter. Then you need to cut off the upper part of the sock, process the edges so that they do not bloom, put a knitted cylinder on a Christmas tree toy and fasten it. The decor, like the craft, is ready!

puppet snowman

And it is very easy to make this type of winter crafts for the garden with your own hands. They are also suitable for a school exhibition. Moreover, according to this principle, you can make various winter fairy-tale characters: Santa Claus, his granddaughter, various animals.

Even the smallest children (three or four years old) will cope with the creative process. Mom will have to help quite a bit so that the craft has an aesthetic and finished look.

After the winter crafts made with your own hands are ready, the figurines can be left in the kindergarten. They will come in handy, for example, to show the kids a New Year's fairy tale with the participation of such dolls.

How to make a puppet snowman from a sock? Step-by-step instruction

You will need scissors, a one-color white sock, a synthetic winterizer, buttons, a few beads, a strong thread with a needle, a colored piece of cloth.

First you need to cut off the toe with the heel from the top of the sock. Sew one end to make a bag. Fill it with synthetic winterizer. Next, you need to divide the bag into two parts, tying it with a strong thread to make the head and body of a snowman.

After you need to sew beads on the face. These will be the eyes and nose. It is necessary to cut a scarf from colored matter and wrap the neck of the figurine with it. You can make a bow out of the same fabric if, according to the idea, the snowman is a girl.

From the remaining cut off part of the sock, you can make a hat and put it on your head. It remains to sew a few buttons to the body. The puppet snowman is ready. So that he is not bored, it is worth making him a girlfriend or friend for company from another sock.

"Winter House" - craft-composition

When thinking about what to make winter crafts with your own hands for the school, you should consider the age of the student. Agree, if a fifth grader brings an appliqué or a Christmas tree decoration decorated with a viscous toy, it will not be possible to impress and fully demonstrate their creative talents, it’s very simple. What if you create a whole composition on a winter theme? Build a house and a courtyard with a wicker fence, decorate everything to make a snowman? Get very original. Such winter crafts for the garden, made with your own hands, can also be brought to the exhibition. Of course, everyone will understand that most of the work was done by an adult. On the other hand, the composition is very beautiful and worthy of praise.
