Crazy fun activity- to celebrate the New Year, and even more fun - to prepare for it, decorate the apartment, make Christmas tree decorations, snowflakes and other crafts. Such moments are especially joyful for children, because children, as a rule, appreciate handmade crafts much more than adults. Already in kindergarten, a child can please mom, dad and teacher with a beautiful cut-out applique or applique made from colored paper and cotton pads almost without the help of adults. And in primary school A child himself can make crafts that an adult cannot do. Children, moreover, have a very developed imagination and, sometimes, they invent incredible beauty works of children's art. Here are some ideas for New Year's crafts for children, and most of them also come with master classes.

Children's Christmas tree toys made of paper
Decorate New Year tree DIY toys have been fashionable at all times. After all, making these toys unites the family, everyone, young and old, helps, even wayward teenagers are excited New Year's gifts They enthusiastically rush to help their little ones :) You can look at a craft made with your own hands for hours... It seems to come to life, it breathes if it is made with love.
New Year's toys made from cones are the simplest and most original. The cone is such a magical figure that it can be turned into either Father Frost, the Snow Maiden, or the symbol of the year, and 2018 is the year of the dog.
Absolutely the same principle is used to make other crafts from cones. Glue Santa Claus's beard onto the cone, cut it and bend it. Let's draw a face. Attach the mustache. If you glue a string to the top, you can hang this craft on the Christmas tree. The video master class will open after clicking on the picture with Santa Claus.
You can also make these children’s crafts from white paper and color them:
And we can’t live without a Christmas tree, but we will also have one made from paper cones:
A little easier: glue green loops onto the cone. We fold short strips of paper into a loop and glue the ends together. Glue the loops onto the cylinder, the tree is ready.
For junior group kindergarten Let's simplify the tree even more. All you need to do is stick all sorts of different stickers on the cone, and your improvised Christmas tree will be decorated.
And let’s not forget about the angels, they will look simply lovely on the Christmas tree, and the realization that they were made with your own hands will further lift the already festive mood.
Another fairly easy to make toys from paper strips:
Another popular topic is making balls from paper circles. We cut circles, bend them in half, glue the halves together to form a ball. Let's make a snowman using the same technique:
Children's origami
The creation of origami figures develops well the motor skills of children's hands, no matter how old they are. It’s a bit difficult to do without a pattern, but if you print out our templates and ask your child to roll according to the pattern, he’ll definitely be able to do it. What do we have from New Year's origami? First of all, Santa Claus >>
And folding the Snow Maiden from two squares is even easier:
New Year's snowflakes for children
Nothing is more mesmerizing than the beauty of a snowflake in the palm of your hand. Its clear, precise geometric shapes, identical rays, but at the same time, all snowflakes are different and there is not a single one in the world that is the same.
It is still difficult for kindergarten children to cut out an even, symmetrical snowflake, but it is easy to make one from paper loops. We cut the paper into short strips, glue the ends together - the loops are ready. Now cut out a circle of paper and glue loops onto it.
Decorating a New Year tree or windows is not complete without snowflakes, especially since with the advent of plastic double-glazed windows in our lives, children stopped seeing fancy Frost patterns on the windows of our apartments, it’s a shame... We fill in the missing snow patterns by cutting out snowflakes from paper or napkins.
No matter how complicated it may seem, it is actually beautifully symmetrical New Year's snowflake very easy to do. A snowflake has 6 rays, and in no case 8, keep this in mind when you do it. Cut out a square from paper. Bend it diagonally. Then we bend the resulting triangle in half. We bend the left and right corners into the middle. Here is a blank snowflake with 6 rays. See step by step: how to make the correct blank for a snowflake with 6 rays from paper >> A diagram simple snowflakes by clicking on the picture:
Now, no matter what you cut out of this folded triangle, you will get a snowflake in any case. The kid will need your help here, and the schoolchild should already figure out how to bend and how to cut. If you are too lazy to come up with ideas yourself, here are the snowflake patterns >>
The more slits and cuts you make, the airier and more delicate your snowflake will be.
Children's New Year's applique made of colored paper
Give your child a sheet of colored cardboard and many different rectangles of multi-colored paper, including white (after all, it’s winter outside the window), and we are sure he will create a masterpiece applique. And the secret is simple. The rectangles resemble houses. And we tear white paper into pieces and glue it - there you have snow.
And if you add a few cotton pads to this whole set, then it will be difficult to keep you from wanting to make New Year's applique:) The discs can be replaced with paper circles, but take the trouble to cut them out for your child yourself.
DIY children's New Year cards
Well, the room and the tree have been decorated, now you need to think about your loved ones. You should definitely make them all a New Year’s card, and one so heartfelt that it will warm you with its warmth on a frosty day when you admire it and remember the giver.
The child is still small - we make a postcard by analogy with the applique. Already in senior group kindergarten? Then he can master the skill of creating a three-dimensional postcard!
First, fold a sheet of cardboard in half, this will be the base of the postcard. Now cut out 3 stripes from colored paper, one smaller than the other. We bend them into an accordion. Next, bend each one in half to form a fan. Glue it together. Glue it inside the card. Decorating the Christmas tree :)
And if you use unnecessary colored magazines or craft paper to decorate a postcard, and cut them into triangles and stripes, then we will have very different Christmas trees and none of them will be the same.
Or this Christmas tree:
And if you combine origami and a three-dimensional applique of loops in one children’s card, and also remember how to cut out snowflakes, you will get a masterpiece:
In any case, no matter what craft you do with children, it is always interesting, and the result is pleasing. Don't scold your child if it's not too neat. Praise him and tell him that next time he will do even better :) Happy New Year!
Simple New Year's paper crafts and decorations are good because you can do them with your children. Agree, very often in the pre-holiday chaos and constant household chores we forget to devote time to our family.

We put all the pages together like this.
Like this original craft it worked out. As you can see, nothing complicated, but a lot of pleasure because you were able to make it with your own hands.
New Year's paper lanterns

sky lattern
How to make a sky lantern out of paper with your own hands? To create a craft you need to take a sheet of colored paper measuring 24x60cm. Fold the sheet in half, then fold it like an accordion.
We unfold the sheet and along the central fold we make triangular creases on all the folds of our triangular accordion.

Advice. Such a flashlight can be glued from any paper, but preferably bright and rich colors. Abstract drawings or oriental motifs will look very good. Before creating such a craft, you can pre-paint the paper to your taste.
Paper garland
How to make a paper garland with your own hands? We suggest you do it decoration from paper balls .
Photo of a paper garland of homemade multi-colored balls To make such a garland, we will need strips of equal length and width. To make it more convenient to fasten them with tape, we make the upper and lower parts pointed. You will need 4 strips per ball, preferably if they are of different colors.
We braid the strips until they form into a ball. We take two strips, glue them with tape and start braid a pigtail. As you weave, the braid will twist and turn into a ball. When the ball is ready, you will need to hide the loose ends between the weaving. It's worth doing this action until the ball is completely formed.
For creating long garland You will need to twist a lot of balls.
Then we string each ball onto a colored thread. The garland of paper balls is ready: you can decorate both the Christmas tree and the room with it.

November 8, 2018
Good afternoon dear readers. Today the article will be entirely devoted to crafts on the theme of New Year 2020. Of course, you can not bother with crafts, but go and buy your favorite toy or figurine. But it will not be as dear to you as the one you made with your own hands.
Also, the article will be very useful for those who have small children who go to primary school or kindergarten. Since on the eve of almost any holiday, these educational institutions often ask children to make something at home, preferably in the style of the upcoming holiday. And then they hold a competition for the most the best craft. And of course, you want your child to take at least a prize.
And making New Year-themed crafts is doubly enjoyable, as it evokes Christmas mood. The absence of which many adults complain about. We don’t have such complaints in our family. Because before the holiday, our house is transformed into a fabulous decorated house from handmade crafts. These include snowflakes and paper garlands and much more. In general, the introduction was a little long, I suggest we get down to business right away.
Before you decorate your home for the New Year, you need to make all sorts of decorations. You can also save a lot of money on this matter if you use old unnecessary trash for production, which is a pity to throw out and has nowhere to put it.
Required:
- Tinsel
- Glue gun
- Wire
- Old CDs 12 pcs.
- Drill with a thin drill or awl
- Pliers
Production stages:
From a cardboard sheet, cut out a template in the shape of a pentagon with sides of 6.5 cm. We apply the template to the disk and put dots where the vertices are. These points are for making holes in them.
We drill all the disks point by point, and then connect them using wire and pliers. At the end you should get a ball.
It should look something like this.
Next we glue tinsel onto each disc. We glue along the contour of the disk using hot glue. 
This is what happens in the end. Such a craft and story can also be used as New Year's souvenir will do too.
You can also build beautiful wreath from cones. Although wreaths are not so popular in our country. Still, if you decorate your front door with such wreaths, it will look simply amazing.
You will need the following:
- A few cones
- Decorative elements
- Paint and varnish in cans
- Glue gun
- Wreath base
Production stages:
As a base, you can use foam pipe insulation or a small hoop. You can also prepare a papier mache base.
We paint the base the color with the cones and attach the cones to the base using hot glue.
At the end, you can open the craft with varnish to add shine and decorate it with decorative elements.
A wreath of pine cones looks quite beautiful.
Snowman made of threads and balls.
Well, who else but the snowman is the very first one associated with winter and the New Year. You can make it quite easily; you just need to collect all the necessary materials.
Required:
- Balloons 5-6 pcs.
- Tube of PVA glue
- Skein of white thread
- Decorative elements (ribbon scarf and hat)
Production process:
We pump the balls with air and make them of different sizes.
One needs the biggest one, the other one needs a smaller one, and the third one needs an even smaller one. And two more very small, but identical. Then we wrap the balls with threads in different directions and coat each new layer with glue.
When the glue dries, we pierce the balls and pull them out into their resulting shapes.
All that remains is to assemble the snowman using the same glue. And in the future I use my creativity to add eyes, mouth and nose to the snowman.
And also attach the hands. These will be two small balls. Here's what you can do from the materials presented.
Or here’s another master class on how to make a beautiful snowman from an ordinary sock.
You will need:
- Scissors
- Super glue
- Scotch tape wide
- Cotton or knitted sock
- Threads
- Several buttons
Production stages:
We cut the toe just a few centimeters from the heel line. We will use the part with the heel. Tie the sock tightly with a thread and turn it inside out. This will be the base of the snowman. We tie it in the part where we cut it.
And fix the figure in this position. Make a few turns and then tie the thread into a knot. We cut off the excess ends with scissors.
We make a scarf from a piece of fabric to disguise the threads.
From the second piece of the sock we make a cap by folding part of the sock several times. Apply super glue to the buttons and attach them to the snowman’s body.
To make the snowman's face I use multi-colored beads. Which I also attach with glue.
Santa Claus from a disposable plate
To create a beautiful and original frost case, you will need the following set:
- Disposable paper plate
- Scissors
- Paints
- Red pompom
- Paper
- Red cardboard
- Eyes for toys
Production stages:
We cut a disposable plate into two parts. Cut just above the middle. And paint the inside beige.
From colored cardboard we cut out a large triangle larger than a plate.
From a sheet of white paper, cut out a strip 2 cm wide and two circles. Cut one of the circles into two parts. Next, we assemble the craft according to the picture.
Christmas tree made of cardboard and threads
You can create small souvenirs in the form of a Christmas tree and give them to your guests who come to celebrate the New Year with you.
You will need to cut out corrugated cardboard to cut out such a beautiful Christmas tree. Approximately 15-20 cm in size.
Then wrap it with threads. We attach each turn with regular glue or you can use hot melt glue. On back side attach the magnet. 
These beautiful Christmas trees can be created using this technology.
Snowflake made from popsicle sticks and buttons. It also turns out very beautiful and unusual.
To create such beauty you will need at least 3-5, and at most 7-8 ice cream sticks. We connect them into a star like this. Then we decorate with buttons, which we also attach with hot glue. At the end we attach a rope and hang it on the tree.
You can try to glue a house and a snowman out of cardboard and cover them with cotton wool. And make a small tree from a twig. You will get something similar to this picture.
Or try making a penguin like this from two bottoms from plastic bottles.
In the year of the pig, you can create such a funny pig. This beauty is made from socks and cotton wool. Watch the sequence and you will understand everything right away. In the same way, we made the snowman a little taller.
An ordinary Christmas tree ball, only painted by you personally, can be an excellent craft. Take Christmas ball Apply plain paint on it; this will be the main background. And then color it however you want. 
And if you have any old glass balls left, you can wipe off all the paint from them and fill them with rubber bands like this. It also turns out beautifully.
Or decorate Christmas balls.
Have you ever seen Christmas balls with a photo inside? See how this can be done.
Beautiful stars that we decorate with beads or seed beads will also fit perfectly into the interior of any New Year's beauty. Or maybe such a star will be a beautiful addition to your New Year's outfit.
And if you show your imagination, even ordinary walnuts can become beautiful New Year’s crafts or Christmas tree decorations.
Or maybe you would like to make these beautiful snowmen from old light bulbs.
This master class will also be useful to you. Because you can make not only snowmen. Look, I think this idea of creating crafts will be interesting to you.
Souvenirs made of fir and pine cones for the New Year
Crafts from natural material They always turn out very beautiful and attractive. Let's start with the simplest and continue with the most complex.
It’s very easy to create a beautiful candlestick using pine cones and threads. You need to take a small jar, a few cones, natural thread and hot glue.
We tie a thread around the neck of the jar several turns and make beautiful bow. We glue the cones with hot glue to the thread. It turns out to be such beauty.
We put the jar on a tray which we decorate beautifully with fir branches and the craft is ready.
If you want to make it a little more beautiful, you can decorate the neck of the jar with semolina, which from a distance will look like snow.
You need to first tint the semolina with chalk. Coat the neck of the jar with PVA glue and sprinkle the area in the glue with semolina. We tie a beautiful bow on the neck of the jar.
You can decorate pine cones in the same way. But for the biggies, we’ll prepare something cooler. Add some glitter to the semolina. Now coat the corner of the cone with glue and sprinkle with semolina and glitter.
You can do without semolina at all, just use glitter golden color. And then follow the familiar pattern. In glue then in glitter.
Using white acrylic paint you can make these cones in the snow.
Add a couple of beads and a bow and it will turn out beautiful Christmas tree decoration. Next, the decorated cones can be combined on our candlestick.
Now I propose to make beautiful Christmas trees from large cones. You will need small pots, acrylic paints, small stars and hot glue.
We attach the cones to the pot, paint them white or green color. And we attach a small star on top.
Using the same principle, you can make a larger Christmas tree. We make a cone out of cardboard. The height depends on the number of cones. We attach the cones to the cone using glue. Decorate beautiful bows and beads.
Now the craft is a little more complicated. This technique is called topiary. With the approach of the New Year, a bunch of craftsmen have appeared who make crafts in this style.
Master classes and ideas for paper crafts for the New Year
You can make a huge number of crafts from paper. And the simplest and a little more complicated. And as always, let's start with something simple, and then continue with more complex models.
The simplest thing you can make is a Christmas tree like this. It is enough to cut a circle out of colored cardboard, cut off a piece and roll it into a cone. Then decorate with stars or circles made of colored paper.
But here is a box of chips that was pasted over with sweet souvenirs and it turned out to be a train.
