They also decorate the beautiful Christmas tree on the streets of the city. People will celebrate at the largest and most beautiful Christmas trees. You can also go with your family to fun party, they say so - go to the Christmas tree.

The shape of the bags should vaguely resemble the shape of various objects: a ball, a doll, a gun, a car, a horse, etc., but allow for multiple interpretations (for example, about the same bag you can say that there is a horse, or a dog, or a cat) . The teacher says that Santa Claus brought gifts to all the children, but what he brought for whom, the children must guess for themselves. Children answer, and the teacher helps them find various options answers.

Q: - Well done guys, we have a beautiful Christmas tree. So who brings gifts under the Christmas tree?
D: - Grandfather Frost!
B: - Correct. Santa Claus is a kind grandfather who comes from a distant land. He carries with him huge bags of gifts for children, which he prepares throughout the year.
Santa Claus comes to the children's home and gives gifts. But since there are a lot of kids, he, unfortunately, won’t have time to come to them all. But don’t worry, if Santa Claus doesn’t come to you during the day, he will definitely come at night and put gifts under the tree.
His granddaughter, the Snow Maiden, also comes with grandfather. She comes to all the holidays along with the frost and also congratulates the kids. In addition to the Snow Maiden, snowmen help grandfather. They take part in all the preparations for the holiday.

(children's answers) You and I had such a good time walking and playing; met the forest inhabitants (bunny, squirrel); drew and made New Year's balls. Oh, what great fellows we are. Now let’s get on our little train and go home.
The song “The locomotive hummed” sounds.
Well, who has already started preparing for the New Year? The days on the calendar are inevitably approaching the cherished night, which means it’s high time to create Christmas mood! Last year, unfortunately, I did not have time to write an article about our New Year's crafts. However, I saved everything and now, finally, I was able to put everything together
In this article you will find New Year's crafts for children 4-5 years old; some of this, with parental help, can be done at 3 years old; some will be interesting later. As usual, first of all, you should focus on the child. For me, the main criterion when choosing a craft is always its accessibility - so that my daughter can master creative work with a minimum amount of my help, and at the same time creative process it didn't turn out too long
Christmas tree toy “Snowman”
Let's start with the most important thing - with Christmas tree toys. An easy-to-make and, in general, quite impressive toy - a three-dimensional snowman. To complete this you will need 6-10 white circles, which are most conveniently drawn using a mug or glass. Also prepare additional elements: head, hat, nose.
Christmas tree toy “Angel” made of cotton pads
To make one angel you will need 1 whole cotton pad and 1 half, white plasticine, and a thread. First, together with your baby, roll the head and legs out of plasticine. Fold the thread in half and use a needle to thread the thread through the head and legs. Tie knots at the ends so that the legs do not move off the thread.
Now you can start assembling the toy. Place half a cotton pad on the table, drop a drop of PVA glue in the middle and attach a second, whole pad on top. Place a thread with a head on it, coat everything inside thoroughly with glue, then bend the disk as in the photo and secure it again with glue - you get an angel.
You can make very unusual Christmas tree decorations with your own hands if you stock up in advance beautiful napkins winter-New Year theme and plastic lids for jars.
So, first we cut out circles the size of plastic cover. At the same time, we try to get into the circle beautiful pattern, Santa Claus, for example. Note! If the napkins are double, you need to separate the bottom layer and leave only one top layer, with a pattern! Thanks to this, the design will beautifully shine through on both sides of the toy.
Next, we do everything as in the photo: put the circle with the design in the lid, put in a string and fill it with water. It is very important to use boiled (and cooled) or filtered water. This is necessary so that the ice in the toys is transparent and not cloudy. When everything is ready, carefully place the toys in the freezer.
As an option, instead of painted napkins, you can use rowan berries or dried flowers, it also turns out very beautiful.
By analogy with Christmas tree decorations, you can make a whole ice garland. To do this, first fill the ice tray with all sorts of small things: beads, sequins, sparkles, pieces of foil, small pom-poms. Then we also fill it with boiled or filtered water. If desired, you can add dye to the water. And don’t forget to put a string through all the cells of the form!
Another option for volumetric Christmas decorations, easy to perform. Here you will need to make blanks in advance - 8 multi-colored circles with equilateral triangles drawn on them. To make it easier to fit triangles into a circle, you can calculate in advance how long the side of the triangle should be; this can be done using the formula, where r is the radius of your circle. I hope I didn’t scare you too much with mathematical formulas)) In fact, you can draw triangles, of course, by eye, but then the toy runs the risk of not being completely even.
Christmas decoration “Stars”
The idea for this New Year's craft is taken from the book " New Year decoration from paper" Actually, decorative paper was also taken from it. The book is very wonderful, I already wrote about it in the collection, but this craft If you wish, you can do this without having this book, simply using any packaging or colored paper.
DIY Christmas garland
To make such a simple and at the same time very effective garland, you will need many, many colored stripes. It is advisable to use double-sided colored paper, then inner part balls will also look beautiful.
To make one ball you need four strips. Explain to your child that you first need to glue two strips crosswise, and then add two more to make something like a snowflake. At the end, we collect all the strips in a bunch into a ball. Step by step process can be seen in the photo.
Garland “Men”
I bet you made such a garland as a child, or as a teenager. So let’s not forget such good ideas.
For those who have forgotten: first we fold an accordion out of paper, draw half a man on it, and cut it out. And decorate it the way you want
DIY Christmas tree craft
Now it’s the turn of the Christmas trees. The variety of crafts in the form of Christmas trees is limitless, I’ll tell you about those that, in my opinion, are well suited for children 4-5 years old.
A Christmas tree made from several cones with homemade fringe looks very stylish. The Christmas tree, as in the photo, consists of four cones with a height of 5, 8, 11 and 14 cm. It is most convenient to make cones from a quarter of a circle.
If gluing the cones on your own will be a little difficult for your child, then he will definitely shred the fringe with pleasure. In order for the fringe on the Christmas tree to bend a little, you need to run the sharp side of the scissors along it, as gift wrappers do when curling the ribbons.
Once the cones are ready, you just need to put them on top of each other.
Postcard "Herringbone"
You've probably already come across this craft somewhere; it's quite popular on the Internet. It looks original and is easy to do. All a child needs to be able to do is cut in straight lines and fold the paper.
The Christmas tree in our card is made from one green A4 sheet. I cut the sheet crosswise into 6 strips with a thickness of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 cm. Taisiya cut them, made an accordion out of each strip and glued them with my help.
Craft lacing “Christmas tree”
For those who are tired of paper crafts and are looking for something more original, this is easy perfect solution. Tasya really liked this craft. The biggest problem for mom here is to find chenille wire(aka fluffy wire), although now it is becoming increasingly popular, you can, of course, not find it in every store. Definitely available in stores that position themselves as “everything for creativity.”
So, before class we do disposable plate use a knife to make holes in the right places. The child will need to insert the wire like a shoelace through these holes. The wire will need to be secured at the back by wrapping the wire properly. Christmas decorations Can be attached to the plate using a glue gun. It is most convenient to make the trunk and star for the Christmas tree from plasticine.
Craft “Christmas tree” from plasticine
For children 4-5 years old, drawing with plasticine is a very relevant activity. In kindergartens, children are often asked to “color” pictures with plasticine at this time. It's really very useful exercise to strengthen finger strength.
For a child who is already familiar with this type of creativity, it will not be difficult to “color” a cardboard cone with plasticine, thereby turning it into a Christmas tree. After the entire surface of the Christmas tree is covered with plasticine, it will be very convenient to attach decorations to it - sequins, beads, buttons, small pompoms.
Craft “Santa Claus” from a disposable plate
I wrote about such a craft in detail in my last year’s article “”, take a look there.
Craft “Santa Claus” from a sleeve
And here's another one interesting option Santa Claus. For it you will need a bushing from toilet paper. In principle, if you don’t have one at hand, but you really want to make a craft, you can prepare a cylinder from thick cardboard in advance.
Together with your child, cover the sleeve (or cylinder) with red paper, separately paint and glue the face of Santa Claus. Add additional cotton wool elements and a cap.
Pencil craft “Snowman”
Surprisingly, this snowman, made last year, has been serving us for a whole year now! I think the craft turned out to be so durable because it is based on a durable glass jar.
The idea was to paint the jar with white paint, and then glue cotton balls or pieces of cotton wool onto it. But my husband, who was sent to the pharmacy to buy cotton balls, bought zig-zag cotton wool, which was completely unfamiliar to me, and it turned out that it was even better suited for this craft! This type of cotton wool is a fairly dense cotton roll, which is very convenient to cover a jar with. Since in this case the can is not visible at all, we didn’t even have to paint it.
If such wonderful zig-zag cotton wool is not available at your nearest pharmacy, then paint it glass jar white acrylic (!) paint, and then stick on pieces of cotton wool or cotton balls.
Refined sugar castle
When Taisiya was younger, we built from sugar cubes, but now we can afford larger-scale construction, this time it’s a castle for the Snow Queen. In general, you can come up with any idea for building from refined sugar that matches your interests and perseverance child, fantasize!
Winter applique
When adding cotton wool, cotton balls, cotton swabs or cotton pads, it automatically takes on a winter look, so quickly run to the pharmacy, cotton wool and its derivatives will definitely come in handy for crafts this year!
Craft “Crown”
It may seem that the craft does not quite correspond to the topic of the article, but if you, like us, fell in love with the book “The Snow Queen”, then you will not think so
For this craft you will need thick yellow cardboard, sequins, and cotton wool. The great thing about this craft is that the child can cut out the crown himself, decorate it himself, there is nothing complicated.
Bird feeders
I’m also adding here our feeder from a five-liter bottle, which we already talked about. The craft is not only interesting, but also useful
Snowflakes
And, of course, don’t forget about the good old snowflakes on the window. As practice shows, for children, cutting out snowflakes is often more interesting than any newfangled and exotic crafts that we spend hours searching for on the Internet.
I wish you a very bright New Year's Eve! Don't forget to check out other articles on New Year's themes:
