Advent calendar for kids. New year waiting calendar Advent calendar. Do-it-yourself waiting calendars - Interaction of teachers and parents through the use of the Advent calendar

And we offer a selection of cool ones that you can do with your own hands to all dreamer parents who love to create an atmosphere of magic and celebration for their children. Of all the holiday preparations, the New Year's waiting calendar for children has a special place - the cutest decoration of the festive house.

Advent calendars with gifts

Since the waiting calendar came to us from Catholic countries, traditionally the Advent calendar for children consists of 24 cards or boxes with gifts, according to the number of days left before Catholic Christmas from December 1.

But since we are counting down to the New Year, then your Advent calendar can consist of 31 cards (now bags, sachets, parcels, pouches, pockets, mittens and whatever your imagination allows) or 24, as in the traditional calendar expectations, just give it to the child not on the first of December, but a few days later.

Another reason to make your own waiting calendar this year is to teach your child how to use the calendar and count.

What to put in your Advent calendar

Since there are still a lot of holidays ahead, you should not put expensive gifts in the waiting calendar for the New Year. These can be nice and useful little things.

Advent Calendar Gift Ideas:

  • sweets (sweets, chocolate coins, lollipops, gingerbread),
  • small toy figures (animals, cars, snowmen and santa claus, lego),
  • christmas toys and decorations,
  • tickets to ,
  • badges (pins) and brooches,
  • stationery with New Year's symbols (original notebooks, pencil cases, pens, erasers),
  • books,
  • new year cards or stickers,
  • socks or mittens with New Year's patterns,
  • hair jewelry (hairpins, elastic bands, hoops) and children's jewelry.

Advent calendars with tasks and riddles

If you think that there will be enough gifts for children for the New Year holidays, then we suggest making an Advent calendar with tasks and riddles. How these calendars look like - you can see below.

Alternatively, you can make a mixed calendar in which part of the days are gifts, and part of the days are tasks or riddles.


New Year's waiting calendar without gifts and assignments

In these advent calendars, you only need to mark the days that have passed to see how many days are left. You can make such a calendar in the form of Christmas trees, a house with opening windows, a gingerbread tree (), a set of postcards or photographs, or just calendar sheets glued to the refrigerator.

(for a son in a kindergarten, the middle group ...

When you are waiting for the most beloved holiday all year in December, your strength is completely exhausted, this is about my son. All year we have been waiting for the holiday and now it would seem that the finish line is already and the son got bored that it took too long for Santa Claus to come to us. And then an idea came to me, I need to mark every day as the approach of the holiday, cross out the days in calendar, not very interesting for a child (in waiting DMB is still for him to go through) and then I came up with such an idea.

She drew a Christmas tree in gouache, the cartoon "Santa Claus and Summer" was on TV. here are the heroes for my calendar... To the calendar was not just entertainment, but also carried some kind of cognitive and developmental meaning, I decided to draw 31 multi-colored circles on the Christmas tree (in accordance with the number of days in a month, I drew circles, they are also colored balls for decoration.

I put double-sided tape for fastening, and the decoration is ready. The task for the children was as follows, every day to stick one ball, but each ball has its own place depending on the color. Initially, I wanted to write more numbers, or toys of different shapes, but our group is still too small, so we decided to stop at consolidating the material we passed, the shape is a circle, and several colors, depending on age, the task can be complicated. The children really liked it. By the same principle they did birthday waiting calendar, in general, every event in our family is now exciting and interesting expectation.

"Calendar of waiting for the New Year, or, the Holiday continues"

Project type: cognitive and creative.

Project duration: medium-term (1.5 months).

Project participants: children of the middle group, parents, educators, music director.

Relevance of the project:Children love the New Year very much, they are looking forward to it, but they know practically nothing about the origin of this holiday, as well as the holidays that follow it - Christmas, the old New Year. It will be very interesting for them to learn about the traditions of these holidays in different countries. On the eve of the New Year's holiday, teachers always face the question of how interesting and simple to organize thematic activities with children. How to prepare them for a meeting with Santa Claus and Snegurochka? How to create a festive atmosphere for children? How to introduce the attributes and characters of the holiday? We decided to make this expectation more pleasant and, together with the parents, arrange a New Year's fairy tale for the kids.

Objective of the project: expanding children's knowledge about the holidays: New Year, Christmas, the old new year, waiting for the holiday in the pre-holiday bustle.

Project objectives:

Teacher:

  • Expand the understanding of the New Year holidays, the history of their occurrence, their celebration in different countries.
  • Learn to make the attributes of the New Year holidays.
  • Raise the desire of children to quickly meet the long-awaited holiday.
  • Promote the formation of cooperation in parent-child relationships.

Children:

  • Gaining knowledge about the New Year holidays, the history of their occurrence, their celebration in different countries.
  • Practical application of methods for making attributes for New Year's holidays.

Parents:

  • Expanding opportunities for collaboration with children and educators.
  • Consolidation of the knowledge acquired by children in the preschool educational institution in practice at home.

The intended result:

  • New Year's party "Magic well".
  • Leisure with parents "Christmas gatherings".
  • Multimedia presentation on the website of the preschool educational institution.

Estimated distribution of roles in the project team:

  • Children: participate in educational and play activities in joint activities with parents.
  • Parents: prepare material for teaching children, consolidate the knowledge gained by children in practice, participate and help in holding joint events.

Learning principles.

  • the principle of activity and consciousness, requiring a worldwide activation of the activities of children, the development of their independence in the process of mastering all components of the content of education and upbringing;
  • principle of individual approach in combination with the principle of collective organization of children's activities;
  • the principle of systematicity and consistency -it is the development of children in logic “from simple to complex”, “from close to distant”, “from well-known to little-known and unknown”;
  • principle of conformity sets tasks for the artistic and creative development of children - age characteristics and individual abilities;
  • the principle of aesthetic referenceon universal human values \u200b\u200b(education of a thinking, feeling, creative, reflective person);
  • principle of natural joy(the joy of aesthetic perception, feeling and action, preservation of the immediacy of aesthetic reactions, emotional openness).

Basic methods, techniques.

To help the child navigate the huge flow of information, learn to "swim" in it, I use a computer in my work, as it allows the teacher to significantly expand the possibilities of presenting various kinds of information. Working with a computer is an important area of \u200b\u200bchildren's cognitive activity.

methods and techniques:

  • simultaneity(provides independent creative search by children with expressive means);
  • survey method, visibility (examination of genuine products, illustrations, albums, videos, presentations, etc.);
  • verbal (conversation, use of artistic words, explanations);
  • practical (independent performance of work by children, the use of various tools and materials for the image);
  • heuristic (development of resourcefulness and activity);
  • problem-motivational (stimulates the activity of children by including a problem situation in the course of the lesson);
  • co-creation (interaction between a teacher and a child in a single creative process.

As soon as I learned about such an interesting tradition as the Advent calendar, I immediately wanted to try to introduce this custom in our family. True, last year I was a little worried that my daughter in her 2 years old may not understand the whole essence of the tradition, or she will be too “tired of waiting” for the holiday with such advance preparation. But, as it turned out, all the worries were in vain, the daughter was delighted with such an interesting preparation for the holiday and the surprises that awaited her every day on the Advent calendar. Therefore, this year the miracle calendar will once again adorn our pre-holiday days.

After all, the sweetest thing in any holiday is the expectation of the holiday. And with the New Year's Advent calendar, waiting is much more fun. Thanks to him, the festive atmosphere in the house will reign long before the New Year. In addition, he will help to better acquaint the child with the holiday, to involve him in an interesting creative process. The Advent calendar every day tells the child what interesting events await him today, what surprises and tasks Santa Claus has prepared for him on this day.

In this article I want to talk about how you can arrange a New Year's Advent calendar, what tasks and gifts can be included in it. When my daughter was 2 years old, our Advent calendar was designed only for the last 10 days of the outgoing year. It seems to me that this is the most optimal duration for this age. This year, I plan to start early and extend the pleasure for 20 days.

Advent calendar decoration

On the Internet you can find a huge number of different DIY calendar design ideas. Basically, Advent calendars are made so that for each day of waiting there is a small container in which you can put a small surprise for the child. Pockets, drawers, socks, jars, cardboard houses, etc. can be a capacity. If the gift does not fit in the box, you can put a note “Look for the gift under the pillow” or attach a photo of the place where the gift is hiding. All containers are marked with numbers that correspond to the number of days remaining before the holiday.

Option 1

This year, our Advent calendar is a small town made of cardboard houses. These are mainly small one-story houses, but there are also two-story and even three-story buildings To make small houses, I used templates found on the Internet, I used different ones for a change, here are the ones that I liked the most: pattern 1, pattern 2, pattern 3... I deliberately cut off the bottoms of all the templates, otherwise how can I get gifts from the houses if they are airtight? (Just in case, here the same templates with bottoms). Layouts are printed on colored cardboard in A3 or A4 format, cut out, glued with PVA glue and you're done!

I made two- and three-story buildings according to the logic of template 2, only I changed the dimensions of the roof and walls. Also, there are transverse cardboard partitions inside the two-story houses so that the gift from the 1st floor does not interfere with the gift from the 2nd floor

Option 2

Last year, our advent calendar consisted of 10 gnomes based on cylinders. Generally speaking, Santa Clauses were originally conceived, but my daughter found them more like gnomes, and I agree with her.

I will briefly talk about the process of making such gnomes (Santa Clauses). The cylinder is made of A4 colored cardboard, at the back it is fixed with tape and a stapler. At the bottom, the bottom is also made of cardboard and fixed with a stapler. It is not difficult to make a gnome's face - all you need is colored paper, cotton wool and PVA glue. Well, on top, instead of a hat, there is an ordinary sock of an adult. Preferably bright, colorful and not too narrow, because from A4 sheet, the cylinders are quite large in diameter. On the side we sign a number indicating the number of days left before the New Year.

Option 3

And here is our 2017 waiting calendar. This is again a town but with significant changes. You can read more about it.

New Year Advent Calendar Tasks

I put all tasks in the Advent calendar in the form of short notes. Until my daughter knew how to read, and we just made short notes with large block letters, read assignments together. Now that he reads well already, the size of the note does not need to be limited to 2-3 words ... In general, you can still try to designate tasks in the form of pictures.

Also, every day in the Advent calendar or next to them all the necessary props are put in to complete the task.

So, the options for the tasks:

  • Decorate a Christmas tree

  • Decorate the house for the holiday , for example: and other decorations, hang tinsel, decorate windows and mirrors with snowflakes, etc. We love to decorate mirrors with these ready-made sets of glass stickers.

  • Cook together or .

  • Write a letter to Santa Claus. If your kid still cannot write, this does not mean that you will have to do without this interesting task. Firstly, if the baby already knows the letters, you can try to make words together from the letters or syllables you have prepared in advance. If you have not yet become familiar with the letters, or you do not want to play with them, you can compose a letter from pictures.
