Interesting winter crafts for kindergarten. DIY winter crafts: the best ideas and photos

Here you will find both New Year paper crafts and crafts made from unusual materials. Making such crafts will be interesting for both the smallest children (from 2 to 3 years old) and older children.

Volumetric Christmas toys made of paper

For this craft, it is better to take the simplest patterns - stars, Christmas trees, bells, balls, etc. It is necessary to prepare in advance 4 templates for each Christmas tree toy. It is important that all 4 patterns are exactly the same and symmetrical! Therefore, before cutting out, for example, a Christmas tree from paper, fold the sheet in half, and draw half of the Christmas tree on it, and then cut it folded.

When the templates are ready (older children can cut them out on their own), invite the baby to glue Christmas toys out of them. Do not forget to glue a ribbon or thread inside so that the toy can be hung on the Christmas tree!

Christmas toys from dough

The process of making such toys is a lot like baking. If your little one loves to play with dough, this craft is for you.

In order for the toys to be strong and can be painted, it is necessary to prepare a special salty dough . There are many options for 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 toys (as in the photo), in my opinion, this recipe is great:

1 cup flour

1 cup salt (Extra)

½ glass of water

If you plan to make toys with a lot of small embossed details, 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 with the help of molds cut out figures from it. Do not forget to fasten the thread or ribbon inside the toy. To do this, make a small hole in the top with a knife or fasten the thread at the back with a small additional piece of dough. You can also use a paperclip instead of thread.

You can dry the figurines 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 decorations near the battery, or even better - in the oven. At the same time, the temperature in the oven must be very low so that the toys do not crack. We dried the figurines in the oven at a temperature of 50 degrees with the door ajar, it took about 4 hours. It is important to put 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 decorations from walnuts

For such New Year's toys, first of all, you need even halves of a walnut shell. Next, you need to prepare the appropriate templates from cardboard - the silhouette of a turtle, fish, bear, sun, etc. The baby is required to paint the shell with a suitable paint (it is better to use acrylic paints or gouache) and attach them to a cardboard template. It is convenient to do this with plasticine.

Do-it-yourself bird feeder from a plastic bottle

For the competition of feeders in kindergarten, my daughter and I made just such a bird feeder.

Generally speaking, the main part of the feeders at the competition in kindergarten were very intricate, and even an adult has to work very hard to build them. I, thinking over the idea of designing a feeder, as usual, was guided by the principle of accessibility for a small child. In fact, all you need to be able to create such a feeder is to paint the bottle. And Tasya really enjoyed painting the snowman from start to finish. But, of course, I helped her with this, and also painted on 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 now on the Internet this is the most popular craft. This is not surprising, because despite its festive appearance, the ball is made quite simply. The main thing is to know a few secrets. First of all, you will need a glass jar (preferably close to a ball in shape) and a beautiful figurine that fits the size of the jar, we have a candle in the form of a snow-covered Christmas tree. You will also need glitter, super glue or a glue gun, as well as glycerol(liquid), it is sold in a pharmacy.

Glycerin is needed so that the sparkles fall slowly and smoothly. When choosing sparkles, buy the smallest and lightest, large stars and other decorations will sink to the bottom of the jar too quickly.

First, the figure needs to be glued to the lid with glue (our candle did not succumb to super glue, but the glue gun did the job). Then pour into a jar of water almost to the eyeballs, add glycerin and sparkles. Then screw the lid on and enjoy the beauty. Perhaps, here an adult wields only super glue, the child can handle everything else.

New Year's applications from unusual materials

In fact, the materials are not so unusual, we always have them at hand - these are cotton wool, cotton balls, cotton pads, pieces of sponge, napkins, semolina. Applications with these materials look very wintery. I will give 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 you need to glue pieces of sponge.

Another option for winter crafts from cotton pads.

Mittens with cotton appliqué and lacing

For this craft, mom needs to make a blank 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 recently had a real passion for embroidering on cardboard, so she made this craft with special pleasure.

Winter crafts from paper and napkins

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

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

Christmas tree, Christmas tree - forest aroma

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

macaroni 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. In children, when working with parts of this size, fine motor skills of the fingers develop, 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. Let's prepare everything you need:

Pasta. They can be of any shape, not only the one shown in the photo. Let the kid dig through the pasta and choose the right ones that he likes.
The cone is the basis for the Christmas tree. It can be a plastic glass on a leg. A very convenient option, since, by unfastening the leg, you can use it as a stand. You can also use ready-made foam blanks, which are sold in needlework stores, or roll a cone of thick paper yourself.
Glue. It is better if it is hot glue, as it sticks all the details instantly. But in this case, you need to do this procedure for an adult, and not trust it to a child in order to avoid a burn.
Green paint and brushes. It is better to use acrylic, but gouache is also suitable.
Any beads, bows, ribbons, rhinestones or just other shapes of pasta for a Christmas tree outfit.

Let's get creative:

Step-by-step photos for this wonderful do-it-yourself winter garden craft are given below for more visual help.

Openwork tree made of paper

Here is another version of DIY crafts in the garden with the image of a Christmas tree (see photo below). These are miniature openwork Christmas trees on paper. They are very easy and quick to make with the baby. For one craft, you can make several of these beauties and stick them on the base, making the composition in the form of a winter forest and complement the picture with snowdrifts made of paper or cotton wool, snowflakes.

For work you need:

thick paper or cardboard of any desired size for the base.
green colored paper.
scissors.
PVA glue.
white paper or cotton wool for snowdrifts.
any decorative material for decorating Christmas trees. It can be small buttons, rhinestones, pompoms, beads and sequins.

Let's start creating:

Photo: Christmas tree made of paper for a kindergarten on the theme of Winter

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

The patterns in this technique are fascinating and do not leave anyone indifferent. If the child is explained 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 twisting very narrow strips of paper and gluing them onto a base sheet. But you can also make voluminous crafts from thick strips using quilling technology.

Let's take a step-by-step photo of the "Snowflake" craft in the kindergarten on the theme "winter" and make it with our own hands.

What will be needed:

office white paper. It must 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;
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.

Let's start crafting:

cut into even strips of bulla paper;

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

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

When the principle is clear, you can take on any image. Here are some more photos of quilling crafts to help and inspire.

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 crafts in the kindergarten on the theme of "winter" with our own hands from improvised material, the photos and descriptions of which are given below.

Penguin from a plastic bottle

Be sure to make this wonderful penguin with the children, and maybe even a couple. If you don’t send him to the kindergarten for an exhibition, then such a cutie can be put at home under the Christmas tree along with Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. It is done simply and quickly.

Let's 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 agent inside the penguin, or do without it, the penguin will be light, but still stable.

Let's start creating a penguin:

It is necessary 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 from the bottles. The bottom - this will be a hat, and the part that is higher is 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 (up to the top part) with black paint. We leave to dry.
Now we paint the hat in any color and with any ornament. First, paint the hat in the main color, let it dry and draw the details.
We draw a muzzle: 2 points of eyes and a triangular beak.
We make a pom-pom from threads. We wind the threads on the fork more. On the one hand we tie the wound threads, on the other hand we cut. Got a pom-pom. Glue it on top.
Cut a strip from the fabric. This is a scarf, we tie it on a penguin.

Easy to perform and effective crafts in the garden on the theme of "winter" turned out, and a detailed photo will help you make it with your own hands.

gardanda

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

For her you need:

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

Let's get to work:

First you need to think about which of each light bulb we will make. It can be snowmen, Santa Clauses, dogs, penguins and any other living creatures.
We decorate the light bulbs for the selected character. You can refer to the photos provided.
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 a piece of a suitable shape and glue it on.
Now we attach a braid to each toy light bulb and, if desired, collect it on a garland.

Healthy lifestyle in everything

Winter is not the time to sit at home, escaping the cold, infections and colds. Winter is the season for active outdoor play. Skiing, sledding, snowball fights, fortresses and snowmen - that's what you can't imagine this time of year without. Let's reflect this in the crafts in the kindergarten on the theme "winter", which we will do with our own hands (photos of such crafts below).

Funny and mischievous skiers can be made according to the patterns below. They need to be transferred to paper, cut out and decorated. Give them ski skewers in their hands and put (glue) them on skis from ice cream sticks.

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

Here are a few more ideas for crafts in the garden on the theme of "winter":

you can make a Christmas tree from palms cut out of green paper;
and you can make 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 nose from 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 you have at home;
crafts can be molded from plasticine. It could be a winter landscape. Sprinkle it with Styrofoam crumbs;

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

To visualize how to make crafts in the garden on the theme of "winter" with your own hands, watch the video below. The video shows a wonderful landscape of semolina. Such crafts can be done with the child according to this MK.

Winter craft "cloud with snow"

As an option for decorating a window, an unusual winter pendant is suitable: for example, in the form of a snow cloud and falling large snowflakes. Both the cloud and the snowflakes are made from cotton balls: pinching off pieces of cotton wool, we tightly tamp them into a fist until the fist is full. Opening it, we get neat cotton balls. We glue part of it onto the cardboard contour of the cloud, we string part of it onto a thread. We fix the threads with snowflakes on the cloud - you're done!

Openwork snowflakes made of white paper look original on pendants.

The pendant can also be placed on the wall in a suitable place - for example, in a corner where a future exhibition of winter exhibits is being prepared.

We put on a hat made of warm white socks, a felt scarf, and our snowman is ready to take a place at the exhibition.

And as desktop souvenirs, snowmen made of cardboard sleeves from toilet paper are suitable. We paint them white, stick buttons, toy eyes and small felt noses - carrots, knit scarves from braid - and now the snowmen acquire a characteristic look.

Winter in our strip lasts a long time. What can you do with your child on long winter evenings? Why not do winter crafts with him?! In this article you will find a large number of a wide variety of winter children's crafts.

Crafts on a winter theme vary in difficulty. There are very simple do-it-yourself winter crafts that even preschoolers can handle. There are more complex winter crafts designed for school-age children and adults. Many make winter crafts for a competition in a kindergarten or school. But even if you do not have the task of winning the winter-themed craft contest, we still recommend that you make at least one of some winter crafts for children from our wonderful selection.

We will start with simpler winter crafts for children. With a preschool child, you can mold a penguin from plasticine, and to make it more interesting to play with the resulting toy, make ice floes for the penguins from pieces of foam. In the process of such games, you can tell a lot of interesting things to the baby about the animals living at the North and South Poles of our planet.

With older children, make a penguin out of plastic bottles. For this do-it-yourself winter craft, you will need two two-liter plastic bottles, a stationery knife, a glue gun and acrylic paints. How to make a penguin from plastic bottles is shown in detail in the photo below.

Be sure to make a snowman out of socks with your child. ▼ This is a very simple do-it-yourself children's winter craft, meanwhile, such a snowman looks very beautiful, almost like a purchased toy. Such a snowman can be placed under the Christmas tree along with Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. Do not be ashamed to give it for the New Year as a gift.

To make a winter snowman craft with your own hands, you will need:

Two socks (one of them is white)
- rice (round)
- buttons
- beautiful rope
- orange paper or orange pencil

The charming doll in the photo below is made from an ordinary mitten. Her head is a foam ball, the filler for this children's winter craft is fig.

For such a doll, it is appropriate to make a cute bright hat. ▼

It will also be interesting for a mitten girl or any other small toy to make a toy sled. This DIY winter craft is made from wooden ice cream sticks or medical spatulas. It is most convenient to fasten the parts of the sled together with a glue gun.

Do you love children's stories? We are sure yes. And winter (New Year's) children's fairy tales? Without a doubt! Agree, after all, it's nice, having covered yourself with a warm blanket and slowly drinking hot chocolate or linden tea with honey, to read some fascinating winter story with your child. Do you want the fairy tale to become a little closer, or rather, even to settle in your home? Then make the next winter craft with your baby. Print out and cut out mouse in a hole . Let the child color it with colored pencils. Now glue the mouse to the wall at the level of the baseboard in some secluded corner of your house.

So, on the eve of the New Year holiday, a little fairy-tale mouse settled in your house. "What a cute winter fairy tale craft," you will no doubt say.

The most favorite and popular winter sports for 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 has been attached to the paper girl on skates. A magnet was attached to the bottom of the tin box. It turned out 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 want to present you another do-it-yourself winter craft for kindergarten. "Ski Track". ▼

This winter-themed craft is also made using a magnet. We make a track for a skier from 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 paper clips at the bottom. We attach a magnet to a long ruler to control the descent of the skier. Ready! Learning to manage a skier, the child will perfectly develop fine motor skills of hands.

The skier can be done differently. Draw it on thick paper, color it and cut it out with scissors. Skis will replace wooden ice cream sticks (or medical spatulas), excellent 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, not only an original children's winter craft is obtained, but also an exciting fun toy.

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

Have you looked all over the Internet looking for do-it-yourself winter crafts for school? We have some interesting ideas for you. For example, you can make such a winter bouquet with your child. To do this, find beautiful tree branches during a walk in the forest or park. Bring them home. At home, chop up a piece of foam with your hands. Moisten the styrofoam with water beforehand, so it will not stick to your hands. Lubricate the branches with glue, then sprinkle them with foam. Winter bouquet is ready!

You can also make such a winter do-it-yourself craft for school - a pom-pom bird.

It is made in the same way as a regular round yarn pom-pom, the only difference is that not two cardboard rings are taken as the base, but the silhouette of a bird with a round hole inside. It will be interesting to decorate a bouquet of tree branches with such birds.

It will not be a shame to bring such a creation to the winter crafts competition in kindergarten.

This winter window is made of plain and corrugated paper. A kind of envelope is made from two sheets of thick colored paper, inside which a child's drawing is inserted. Curtains for the window are made of corrugated paper folded like an accordion. With the help of a hole punch, holes were made in them and put on a thin cord. Here's what happened as a result. By the way, drawings can be changed depending on the time of year or the mood of the child.

In our article on winter crafts for children, we also did not ignore children's plasticine crafts. See what a cute Christmas tree you can make from plasticine using ordinary nail scissors. We will not describe in detail here how to make this winter craft with our own hands, because everything is clear and without further ado.

So our article on crafts on a winter theme for children has come to an end. In parting, I would like to tell readers about such winter children's crafts that give us warmth, a fairy tale and comfort on cold winter days and evenings. Of course, we will talk about homemade flashlights. Lanterns can be made from paper. The easiest way to do this is to use ready-made templates (

To feel the approach of the New Year, you need to create it with your own hands. Decorate your home with fakes that will bring a festive mood and a little magic to your interior. Build a beautiful topiary, it may well replace the Christmas tree. Or come up with original toys made from orange peel or felt. Decorate rooms with homemade pictures of a Christmas tree or Santa Claus. It all depends on your imagination and New Year's mood. The works presented in the master class will help you decide on the choice of New Year's crafts and create them yourself.

For the first gnome crafts you will need:

gray felt;
red fabric;
glue;
thread and needle;
scissors;
red paint and brush.

We cut out the figures shown in the photo from felt and fabric.
