Well, the most common and fashionable option is a craft made from the hands of a child and an adult:
Photo illustrations, pictures of crafts for the New Year holiday
I would also like to give you a bunch of ideas on this New Year’s theme; you yourself have probably already come up with something unrealistically beautiful in your imagination while you were looking at this article.
Here you will find both New Year's crafts made from paper and crafts from unusual materials. Making such crafts will be interesting for both the youngest children (from 2 to 3 years old) and older children.
- Volumetric Christmas tree toys made of paper
For this craft, it is better to take the simplest templates - stars, Christmas trees, bells, balls, etc. It is necessary to prepare 4 templates for each Christmas tree decoration in advance. It is important that all 4 patterns are absolutely identical and symmetrical! Therefore, before cutting out, for example, a Christmas tree from paper, fold the piece of paper in half, and draw half of the Christmas tree on it, and then cut it out folded.
When the templates are ready (older children can cut them out themselves), invite your child to glue Christmas tree decorations from them. Don't forget to glue a ribbon or string inside so that the toy can be hung on the Christmas tree!
- Christmas tree toys made from dough
The process of making such toys is in many ways similar to baking. If your little one loves playing with dough, this craft is definitely for you.
To ensure that the toys are strong and can be painted, you need to prepare a special salty dough . There are many variations of salt dough recipes. But the main thing to remember when choosing a recipe: the more salt you add, the stronger and rougher the dough becomes. For drying simple Christmas tree decorations (as in the photo), in my opinion, this recipe is perfect:
1 cup flour
1 cup salt (Extra)
½ glass of water
If you plan to make toys with many small embossed parts, then you will need more. Soft dough is also good for playing if you do not plan to dry the toys at all.
So, having prepared the dough, roll it out and use molds to cut out figures from it. Don't forget to fasten the thread or ribbon inside the toy. To do this, make a small hole at the top with a knife or secure the thread at the back with a small extra piece of dough. You can also use a paperclip instead of thread.
You can dry the figures at room temperature, but this process will be very long (several days, or even weeks). The process will go faster if you put your Christmas tree decorations near the radiator, or even better, in the oven. At the same time, the temperature in the oven should be very low so that the toys do not crack. We dried the figures in the oven at 50 degrees with the door ajar, it took about 4 hours. It is important to place toys in and out of the oven when it is cold to avoid sudden temperature changes.
After drying, paint the toys with acrylic paints or gouache.
DIY Christmas tree decorations made from walnuts
For such New Year's toys, first of all, you need even halves of a walnut shell. Next, you need to prepare appropriate templates from cardboard - the silhouette of a turtle, fish, bear, sun, etc. The child is required to paint the shell with suitable paint (it is better to use acrylic paints or gouache) and attach them to a cardboard template. This is convenient to do using plasticine.
DIY bird feeder made from a plastic bottle
For a feeder competition for kindergarten, my daughter and I made just such a bird feeder.
Generally speaking, the majority of the feeders at the kindergarten competition were very sophisticated, and even an adult would have to work very hard to build them. When thinking about the idea of decorating a feeder, I, as usual, was guided by the principle of accessibility for a small child. In fact, all you need to know to create such a feeder is to paint the bottle. And indeed Tasya enjoyed coloring the snowman from start to finish. But, of course, I helped her with this, and also painted on the eyes and carrots.
For the feeder we needed a five-liter plastic bottle and acrylic paints (the bottle is covered with one layer of paint).
It seems to me that this is the most popular craft on the Internet now. This is not surprising, because despite its festive appearance, the ball is quite simple to make. The main thing is to know a few secrets. First of all, you will need a glass jar (preferably close in shape to a ball) and a beautiful figurine that fits the size of the jar; for us it is a candle in the shape of a snow-covered Christmas tree. You will also need glitter, super glue or a glue gun, and glycerol(liquid), it is sold at the pharmacy.
Glycerin is necessary for the glitter to fall slowly and smoothly. When choosing sparkles, buy the smallest and lightest ones; large stars and other decorations will sink to the bottom of the jar too quickly.
First, you need to glue the figurine to the lid with glue (our candle did not succumb to super glue, but a glue gun coped with the task). Then fill the jar with water almost to capacity, add glycerin and glitter. Then screw the lid on and enjoy the beauty. Perhaps, here the adult only uses super glue; the child can handle everything else.
New Year's applications made from unusual materials
In fact, the materials are not so unusual, we always have them at hand - cotton wool, cotton balls, cotton pads, pieces of sponge, napkins, semolina. Applications with these materials look very wintery. Let me give you a few examples.
- Craft for the New Year “Snowflake” from pieces of sponge
For younger children, you can mark the lines on paper in advance on which to glue the sponge pieces.
Another option for winter crafts made from cotton pads.
- Mittens with cotton appliqué and lacing
For this craft, mom needs to make a preparation in advance: cut out mitten templates from cardboard and make holes in them with a hole punch.
Taisiya (she is now 3 years 2 months old) has lately had a real passion for embroidery on cardboard, so she made this craft with special pleasure.
- Winter craft from paper and napkins
There is very little time left until the New Year, and it’s time to think about holiday decorations for the home. You can buy ready-made options in the store, but it’s much better to make original things with your own hands.
Snowman made from a sock
You can make these funny snowmen from unnecessary socks. You will need socks, rice for filling, some scraps and buttons. Cut off the toe of the sock and tie it with thread on the other side. Pour the rice into a round shape, tie it again with a thread and add more rice to form a smaller ball. Sew on the eyes and nose, make a scarf from a scrap, sew on buttons. And the cut off part will make an excellent hat.
Christmas tree pendants
A cinnamon stick is used as a base; several artificial spruce branches and multi-colored buttons are attached to it using glue. Such Christmas trees will not only decorate your home, but also fill it with the warming aroma of cinnamon.
Deer from traffic jams
Bottle caps are an excellent craft material. For example, you can make such a cute deer. You will need some corks, glue and various beads for decoration. It’s not a shame to hang something like this on a Christmas tree.
Crafts from sticks
From ordinary ice cream sticks you can make cute Christmas trees, snowmen and snowflakes. All you need is paint, glitter, buttons and a little imagination. Even the smallest children can handle these.
Christmas trees made of colored paper
You can make such wonderful Christmas trees by making a cone out of green paper or cardboard and decorating it with different things. Buttons, pebbles, beads and various paper figures are suitable.
Potato drawings
This cute print is made by dipping half a potato in regular gouache. And the adults will need to paint on the rest when the paint dries. This option is ideal for very young children.
Snowflakes made from pasta
Attach pasta of different shapes with glue and cover with silver paint, secure with ribbon - an unusual New Year's snowflake is ready.
Snowmen made from lids
Cover metal bottle caps with white paint (it’s better to use acrylic) and glue them together, as shown in the picture. Draw a face on the snowman and decorate it with a scarf made of bright ribbon. If you glue a loop on top of it, such a snowman can be hung on the Christmas tree.
Crafts from pine cones
You can make different animals and any other characters from the cones. You need paints, scraps, buttons and, of course, imagination and inspiration.
Christmas tree made of buttons
Select green buttons of different diameters and a few brown ones for the top and secure them with thick thread. Decorate the crown with a star.
Painted balls
Place pieces of wax crayons in a transparent Christmas ball, heat it with a hair dryer, constantly twisting it. When the pencils melt, they will leave beautiful colored streaks inside the ball.
Garland of fingerprints
Draw the cord of the garland and the base of the light bulbs, then give the child multi-colored paints and let him draw bright light bulbs with his fingers. You can decorate a New Year's card or gift bag with this design.
