Project “New Year, at the Gates”. New Year's decoration of the group at the preschool educational institution.

Winter has brightened up...
Winter has brightened up:
The headdress has fringe
From transparent ice floes,
Snowflake stars.

All covered in diamonds, pearls,
In colorful lights,
The radiance is pouring around,
Whispers a spell:

Lie down, soft snows,
To the forests and meadows,
Cover the paths
Leave the branches down!

On the windows, Santa Claus,
Scatter crystal roses
Light visions
Tricky gossip.

You, blizzard, are a miracle,
Round dances of the backwaters,
Take off like a white whirlwind
Turning gray in the field!

Sleep, my land, sleep,
Keep your magical dreams:
Wait, she’s dressed in brocade,

New dawn!

Every year, in anticipation of New Year's holidays, our group’s premises are dressed up in festive decorations. In December 2015, with the help of our parents, we decorated the windows with carved paper snowflakes and protrusions. Ideas and templates were drawn from Internet resources. It was as if the atmosphere of a New Year's fairy tale reigned in the group. Everyone gave us rave reviews and took pictures in front of the group's windows.

However, as teachers, we did not receive complete satisfaction from the work done. After all, all this beauty was made by the hands of adults, and we would like every child to be able to take part in the fabulous decoration of the group. We understood that the children were 5 summer age, will not be able to cut out beautiful, carved snowflakes; their mastery of the cutting technique is far from perfect. It was then that the idea was born - next year, let the children do what they can do, and our task is to combine the result of child labor into a common composition.
A year has passed. In December 2016 in preparatory group The project "New Year at the Gates" was launched. In a conversation with the children, we remembered how wonderful the children used to decorate cards for their grandmothers with palms cut out of colored paper. What if you cut out palms from white paper and use them as window decorations? Everyone liked this idea. We stocked up on white paper, hard work and patience, and together with the children we got down to business. Our preparations were outlined with a simple pencil their palms and diligently cut them out with scissors.

And then, together with the teachers, they glued them onto cardboard templates.

We fantasized a little, and as a result we got a snowman, a Christmas tree, and bunnies.

We decorated the figures on both sides so that our winter fairy tale could be seen not only from the group, but also from the street.

We placed a snowman, a Christmas tree and two bunnies on the windows in the bedroom. The boys, going to bed, listened to tales about New Year's miracles and looked at the hand-made paintings on the windows. Every child understood that this was the result general work, and he is also involved in it. You won’t believe it, but the children even remembered where and whose palms were.

Parents did not remain indifferent and carried and brought everything to us openwork snowflakes. Well, what's the New Year without Father Frost and Snow Maiden? Here we have, in the group room, on the windows, Grandfather Frost and Snow Maiden, in fur coats made of openwork snowflakes.

I’ll tell you a little secret, Grandfather Frost’s face was printed out, painted, the outline of a fur coat was drawn on the window (by hand, without templates), and then all the details of the figure were attached to the window with tape. I keep asking myself: how did we manage to live and work before the invention of scotch tape?

And here comes the Snow Maiden

The Snow Maiden's braid was drawn and attached separately.
The fur coats of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden were also decorated with an edging of palms cut out by children.

We live in Russia, our children should know and love their country. Therefore, it was decided to decorate the central window of the group with the symbol of the Russian New Year - the Chimes on the Spasskaya Tower of the Kremlin. And also, the symbols of Russian winter - red-breasted bullfinches.
We found a template for the Kremlin Tower on the Internet, modified it a little, made a stencil, transferred the outline to the window, and painted it in our own way.

We painted the pictures on the windows with white water-based paint using red and orange gouache. Frames were painted on all the windows with the same white paint; in our opinion, this made it possible to combine all the windows of the group into a composition designed in uniform style.

The final point in the New Year's window decoration was an openwork curtain made from snowflakes cut out by parents according to a single template.

Admire our windows.

IN New Year It is customary to give gifts, such a gift to all employees, children and parents of the “Gift” kindergarten was made by the hands of teachers Antonova T.G., Amirova G.R. and Chapurina N.A., fireplace made of cardboard boxes. We installed a fireplace in the hallway of the group; everyone can come up to the fireplace to admire and take New Year’s photos.

Time for Christmas trees, blinking garlands, colorful balls and fluffy tinsel. Kids especially love this holiday paraphernalia. Watching how everything around is transformed, they are immersed in an atmosphere of fairy tales and miracles. In an effort to please children, kindergarten teachers turn into designers and artists for a while. Many of them ask the question: “How to decorate a group for the New Year to surprise the kids?” Let's talk about it.

What will you need?

So, we are faced with the task of decorating a kindergarten group for the New Year. First, let's decide on the materials that will be required for design. Most of them you probably already have on hand. This includes paper, plain and colored, cardboard, paints, glue, scissors, tape and other office supplies. Will do natural materials: tree branches, pine cones, which you and your children can color and assemble interesting compositions.

Ask your parents to bring tinsel, streamers, Christmas decorations, factory glossy snowflakes, lanterns. Traditional New Year's colors are white, blue, green, red and gold. You can safely combine them when decorating, because children love bright colors.

Safety first

When we decorate a kindergarten group for the New Year, we think not only about the beauty of the decor. The safety of children comes to the fore. The younger the children, the less decorations are required. It is better to place them higher, out of reach of children. In older groups, children no longer put shiny toys in their mouths, but even here it is better not to neglect some tips:

• Check the wiring of the garlands. Attach them close to the ceiling to protect young experimenters from dangerous experiments.
• Do not hang flammable decorations near electrical appliances.
• When attaching the decor, use tape. Forget about buttons and safety pins.
• Instead of glass toys, choose unbreakable ones: plastic, wooden, fabric.
• Jewelry should not have small parts, which can be accidentally swallowed, sharp corners that can cause injury.

The group starts from the locker room

If you don’t know how to decorate a group for the New Year, put this task off until later. And start decorating the locker room. After all, this is where another day begins in kindergarten. Hang a colorful poster with congratulations and winter pictures on the wall. Decorate your cabinets with Christmas stickers. They can be purchased or homemade. The simplest option: shiny balls decorated with photographs of children. You can string tinsel and garlands of snowflakes under the ceiling.

Particular attention should be paid to the door. If there are artists among the teachers or parents, you can draw Father Frost, the Snow Maiden, and elves on whatman paper. The image is then cut out and attached to the door using tape. It’s even easier to make a snowman from three circles or Santa Claus crawling into the fireplace. In the latter case, you will only need to decorate the door to match the pipe. Two legs in felt boots are attached on top. A little imagination - and an ordinary locker room turns into a magical one. Behind the transformed door, real miracles await the kids.

We decorate the group for the New Year with our own hands

Find a place on the walls for a New Year's composition. This could be an exhibition of children's drawings dedicated to the upcoming holiday. Or an exhibition on winter fairy tales: “Morozko”, “The Snow Queen”, “Snow Maiden”, “Winter Hut of Animals”, “Moroz Ivanovich”. You can print, color and attach New Year's characters from different countries, decorate the space under the windows as a fireplace, invite the kids to hang their socks for small surprises.

“Rain”, garlands, light toys, snowflakes on gold or silver threads are usually suspended from the ceiling. Be sure to involve the children in creating the decorations. Even three-year-old kids can handle making flags from colored paper. Older children will be able to build traditional chains, foil beads, garlands of stars, and snowmen. Set aside a place of honor for children's crafts.

Magic window

To decorate a group in the garden for the New Year, remember your own childhood. We all once cut out openwork snowflakes from paper and glued them to glass. Modern kids will be happy to continue this tradition.

With the help of toothpaste you can easily create beautiful winter patterns. Prepare paper stencils. These can be the same openwork snowflakes or angels, Santa Claus in a sleigh, deer, snowmen, etc. Soak the stencils in water and stick them on the glass. Toothpaste dilute and apply it to the surface using a sponge. Once dry, remove the stencils and be amazed at the results.

If you wish, you can draw bright pictures on the windows. To do this, stock up on gouache. Images can be quite simple. For example, Christmas balls of different colors. If you have artistic ability, you can easily delight your kids with a drawing of Grandfather Frost, deer, bunnies, and the Snow Maiden. Images of burning candles and angels look appropriate.

Do you need a Christmas tree in a group?

Evergreen and slender, she is - chief guest on the holiday. Around it, kids dance in circles, and multi-colored lights light up on it. But at the same time, the Christmas tree carries with it many dangers. During active games, children can knock it over, break toys, and get hurt. How to decorate a group for the New Year? Maybe a large Christmas tree installed in the assembly hall is enough for the kids?

In most cases, adults agree with this. On the wall in the group they make a Christmas tree out of tinsel and decorate it with unbreakable toys. Or they install a miniature beauty on a raised platform so that kids can admire it from afar.

In older groups, if the area of ​​the room allows, you can take a chance and put big Christmas tree. It is better to place it in a corner. It is unacceptable for the Christmas tree to block the passages or interfere with games. Fasten it securely. Experienced educators advise tying the green beauty with strong twine to a radiator or cornice. Use lightweight toys for decoration that will survive a fall.

How to decorate a group for the New Year? The most important thing that is required from adults: imagination and a sincere desire to please the kids. Then ideas will not keep you waiting, and the shining children's eyes will become the best reward for your work. Let's create New Year's tale with your own hands!

New Year is a special event for every kindergarten group. Teachers and children are preparing for it. Kids believe that Santa Claus exists and fairy tale characters. Another event is the registration of the group.

In this case, parental assistance may be required. You can decorate not only the game room, but also the bedroom and locker room. The scenery, despite the symbol of 2019, should be colorful and bright. Since children are always in a group, the tones need to be selected so that they do not irritate the eyes.

The eve of the New Year is an atmosphere of celebration, fairy tales and magic. To form a group in kindergarten, teachers often rely on their own strength. Sometimes their parents come to help them. The decor starts with the locker room. The front door is decorated with a wreath, the basis of which is wire. Green paper or tinsel is attached to it.

You can perfectly solve the problem of decorating a children's group using snowflakes, figurines, decorative candies, and “gift bags.” The same decor is used to decorate cabinet doors. In the group itself, a Christmas tree is installed so that it does not interfere with children's games. It is better not to use glass toys and garlands to decorate the Christmas tree.

It is not recommended to decorate the Christmas tree with sparkling lights, as they are unsafe. You can draw a Christmas tree on whatman paper and attach it to the wall. An original wall newspaper or poster will look great in the overall interior. Photos of the group’s children, as well as toys they made themselves, are used as decorations for the Christmas tree.

Parents should also be involved in this work. The walls can be decorated with crafts made from foil, fabric and paper. Lightweight balls and paper figures can easily be hung from the ceiling. You can also fix snowflakes and garlands. Children need to be included in the work. According to psychologists, working together will have a positive effect on the child.

Choosing a color combination

As for the color scheme, then Special attention is given to the general palette. Experts advise decorating walls, ceilings and windows in one color scheme: pink, scarlet, purple. It is not recommended to use bright red color as it irritates the eyes. You can take green as the main shade.

Jewelry elements

When decorating a group, special attention is paid to individual decorative elements. To do this, you can use colored paper, foil, fabric and other available means. It would be an original idea to sew pigs from fabric, which would then be hung in a group, fixed to the ceiling or to the window frame. Piglets can be made from cardboard, choosing three main colors: golden, scarlet, silver. You can also make a pig from a plastic bottle.

What's the best way to decorate?

It is recommended to decorate not only entrance doors, but also interior doors, as well as windows. It is also worth paying attention to the bedrooms. It is recommended to decorate in New Year's style game room. There are no specific rules in decor. You need to stick to the chosen tones.

Decor according to the symbols of 2019

The decor in a kindergarten group can be a canvas depicting the house of Santa Claus, snow-covered trees, snowflakes, and animals. Similar elements are made of fabric, cut out of large-sized paper.

To decorate windows, use snowflakes cut out according to a template. Original solution– gluing snowflakes of different colors. You can purchase stencils at the office.

Another one unusual composition– cutting out a funny picture from paper in the form of a snowman, Baba Yaga, slides, sleigh, angel. Such drawings will melt the ice in the hearts of children and help them plunge into the world of magic. Paper figures will look original on furniture and walls. Adults can sew the 2019 symbol with their own hands.

New Year is a wonderful holiday, imbued with magic and the expectation of happiness. On the eve of a joyful event, kindergarten teachers turn into real designers and inventors, because their task is to beautifully and originally decorate a group room to give to preschoolers positive emotions. To create an elegant interior, material costs are not necessary - just creative approach, imagination and love for children. And the best jewelry and crafts, as a rule, are created with your own hands.

The importance of creating a pre-New Year atmosphere in the group

As you know, the anticipation of the holiday is no less exciting than the holiday itself. Especially if it’s such a wonderful celebration like New Year's party. Before this event, children should come to kindergarten with joy; the anticipation of the coming magic should accompany them constantly. That is why the teacher decorates the group’s interior with shiny garlands, snowflakes, rain, and funny characters that correspond to the New Year’s theme. The teacher puts a piece of his soul into the creation of this beauty, fully using his creative imagination.

IN preschool institutions competitions are often held for best decoration groups for the New Year.

For festive decoration The teacher may need a variety of materials: “rain”, tinsel, colored paper of different textures (plain, velvet, glossy), cardboard, cotton wool, gouache, stained glass paints (for painting windows and mirrors).

For design work, the teacher will need different materials, including colored paper of different textures

Decorating a group is quite a troublesome task (although this fuss is pleasant), so it is better for the teacher to draw up in advance rough plan their actions, highlight priority and secondary areas of their work.

1. The main stage of registration. These are the key interior details that will take the most time to work on. This includes decorating windows with snowflakes and other protrusions, painting windows and mirrors, installing a small Christmas tree (usually artificial) in a group or creating its image (on a wall or door).
2. Elaboration of finer details. Creating posters of a congratulatory nature (they can be purchased ready-made, but it is much more interesting to make them yourself, especially together with older preschoolers), hanging garlands, “rain” (under the ceiling, on a chandelier, decorating indoor plants, cabinets, pianos), placing parents’ crafts (as is correct in the locker room).

Decorating the door

If the theater begins with a hanger, then the group kindergarten- With front door. The decoration of this part of the interior must be carefully considered. This can be an original New Year's wreath made of tinsel or other materials.

A beautiful New Year's wreath can be made from ordinary cardboard

The composition will be complemented by snowflakes (purchased or homemade), decorative shiny candies, artificial fir branches, images of Santa Claus, a snowman, etc.

Spruce branches immediately add a New Year's flavor with the help of paper geometric shapes a white door can easily be turned into a snowman
The image of a Christmas tree can appear everywhere. A frame of snowflakes looks very gentle

By the way, some elements, only small ones, can be used to decorate the doors of lockers in the locker room. You just need to attach them higher so that children don’t accidentally tear off the decorative elements.

Beautiful window decoration

A very important part of the group's New Year's decoration is window decoration. After all, when the children go to kindergarten in the morning, they definitely look into them. Beautiful drawings and applications will definitely cheer up children.

The most popular window decoration is gluing snowflakes cut out of white paper. But here the teacher can show imagination and not just attach individual elements, but create an entire composition, a small fairy tale story on glass. For example, depict an episode from famous fairy tale G.-H. Andersen " The Snow Queen", in which a cold beauty releases a huge snow cloud from her hand.

The window is decorated based on the fairy tale The Snow Queen

Another original version- a small house at the bottom of the window, from the chimney of which instead of smoke comes a whole cloud of snowflakes.

A very original idea - a huge cloud of smoke made from openwork snowflakes

In general, snowflakes cut out of paper are vytynanka (openwork appliqués). However, you can skillfully cut out other items, objects, and even entire compositions from paper. All this looks great on the windows on the eve of the New Year. For example, a beautiful horse that seemed to gallop from a fairy tale, Santa Claus flying across the sky on a sleigh with deer, a snow-covered village. You can even arrange a New Year's Eve in the underwater kingdom on the window. There are a lot of options here, the main thing is to use your imagination.

Difficult to perform, but very beautiful. The graceful horse seemed to gallop from a fairy tale.

Since the symbol of the coming 2018 is a dog, its image can also appear on the window glass. You can use these samples.

Photo gallery: vytynanka with a picture of a dog

A puppy is getting ready to have lunch. A rather difficult image to execute. A beautiful animalistic composition. Such a puppy will cheer up children. Similar pictures will help children remember dog breeds.

You can decorate not the glass, but the window sill, for example, by building a paper spruce forest on it. And the composition will be decorated on top original garland from hanging toys.

A whole spruce forest on the windowsill

Returning to the topic of snowflakes that decorate windows, we note that they can be made not only from paper, but also from a variety of, sometimes unexpected, materials: plastic bottles, spoons, cotton swabs, performed using the plasticineography technique. Such crafts, of course, do not need to be glued to glass - they are suspended from the cornice by a thin thread and flutter beautifully against the background of the window.

Photo gallery: ideas for creating snowflakes from non-standard materials

Plasticineography was made on disposable plate The spoons are attached to the center of the snowflake Due to the voluminous shaggy center, the snowflakes resemble spiders Snowflakes drawn on plastic turn out graceful and beautiful

Windows can not only be decorated with appliqués, hang various elements near them, but also painted with patterns.

To do this, the teacher will need a set of stained glass paints specially designed for painting glass.

The technique of working with this material is simple and does not require special training. You can simply draw some patterns or objects. For example, a snow blizzard or simply elegant processing of the edges of glass looks poetic. As an option, you can use a stencil: the necessary figures are cut out of paper according to a template and glued to the window using ordinary water (there should not be too much moisture). Paint is applied to the surface around the paper. Then the stencil is removed, and the finished picture is obtained.

The drawing is very bright and colorful Large drawings occupy almost the entire surface of the glass Very gentle and poetic composition All characters are buried in snow, the falling snow completes the composition

You can also paint mirrors with stained glass paints.

If there is a mirror in the group room, then it can also be beautifully painted.

Christmas trees in a group from a variety of materials

Of course, the teacher can put up a Christmas tree in the group (an artificial one, since they put up a live one in just a few days). However, it can interfere with children’s activities and games (distract their attention, especially if the group room is not very large), and there is always a risk that the kids will accidentally knock it over.

A more acceptable option is to create an image of a Christmas tree in the group in the form of an original image on the wall. The easiest way is to mark the contours of the tree with a green garland.

This garland Christmas tree can be made in just a few minutes.

The garland can also be electric. At the same time, such a Christmas tree should hang high so that the kids cannot reach it. The teacher himself turns it on from time to time.

This Christmas tree should be located out of reach of children.

But you can go further and create unexpected original compositions. For example, you can cut out a Christmas tree from whatman paper and color it in green color and decorate with portraits of pupils (the teacher conducts a photo session in advance). The kids will be doubly pleased to look at such a New Year’s tree.

The shiny Christmas tree is decorated with children's portraits of them smiling.

A simple and original idea is to make a Christmas tree from ordinary wooden knots. They are covered with colored paper and placed on the wall in a certain order.

The knots are simply covered with colored paper and arranged in a certain order

A popular practice in kindergartens is to announce a “Mini Christmas Tree” craft competition for parents. Moreover, the main role here is played not by victory, but by participation. The creation of such compositions helps to unite family members, and a parade of Christmas trees in the group’s locker room will add a wonderful New Year’s flavor to it.

Photo gallery: original ideas for creating a mini Christmas tree

Plastic forks convey the shaggy nature of spruce branches well. A Christmas tree made from pieces of mesh looks charming, despite the fact that it is not green, but red. A Christmas tree made from green clothespins is simple and unexpected! Pasta is a universal material for a variety of crafts. Modular origami- long and painstaking work, but the result is always wonderful

Letter box to Del Moroz

On New Year's Eve, many children write letters to Grandfather Frost asking him to bring them the most desired gifts. For this purpose, a good idea is to install a special mailbox in the kindergarten group. Of course, you need to make it yourself. Any box of suitable size will do: it is covered with colored paper, tinsel, and decorated with toys. Then a slot is made - and the mail is ready. The box can be hung on the wall or placed on a table.

Photo gallery: examples of mailbox design

Golden tinsel against the background of red foil looks impressive. The design of the box shows the attributes of Santa Claus - his red and white hat and belt with a wide buckle. The box is covered with ordinary wallpaper, but looks festive due to snowflakes made of foil and shiny green balls.

Children's faith in the fairytale Santa Claus is wonderful. Children can put letters in the mailbox that they write at home with their parents. In the preparatory group, some children already know how to read and write: the teacher can help them write letters according to a certain plan. First, you need to tell a little about yourself, your good deeds over the year, and then ask for gifts (just not very expensive ones, because grandpa doesn’t like greedy children).

Drawing New Year's posters

An integral part of New Year's decoration premises - drawing and hanging posters. In junior and middle group The teacher does this, and older preschoolers will be happy to take part in this work.

To work you will need whatman paper, various materials for drawing and applique, thematic stickers (for example, ready-made miniature snowflakes), tinsel for decorating the edges.

The content of the poster can be traditional New Year's characters: Grandfather Frost, Snow Maiden, snowmen. You can also depict a picture of a winter forest with its cute inhabitants (bunnies, squirrels, etc.), winter in the form of a beauty in a blue dress (like the Snow Queen, only kind), an animal that is a symbol of the coming year. An interesting idea is to place photographs of students on the poster: in the form of “New Year’s balls”, funny gnomes or snowmen (the teacher first conducts a photo shoot, putting caps or clown round noses made of foam rubber on the children).

Photo gallery: ideas for creating a New Year's poster

The children can easily draw Christmas trees and, together with the teacher, decorate them with snowflakes and other elements. Father Frost and Snow Maiden are made from simple paper parts Original idea- turn the kids into little snowmen A Christmas tree painted with gouache looks very elegant Applique using cotton wool and tinsel It is not necessary to draw a realistic dog, let it be funny

Crafts and decorations with the image of a dog - the symbol of 2018

The coming year 2018 will pass under the auspices of dogs. Therefore, the teacher can hold a competition among parents to create a craft depicting this kind and faithful animal.

By the way, the kindergarten management can announce the same competition among teachers. Each group presents its creative work, and at the very end of the year the results are summed up with the presentation of symbolic prizes.

To create a craft, you can take the following interesting ideas as a basis.

Dog made of nylon tights

To make an original dog, you will need perseverance and at least minimal sewing skills. For work you will need the following materials.

1. Flesh-colored nylon tights.
2. Threads similar in color, needle.
3. PVA glue.
4. Doll eyes.
5. Sintepon or other similar filler.
6. Dark gray eye shadow.

From a segment nylon tights(30–50 cm long - depending on the desired size of the dog, because nylon stretches well) make a blank - the head and body of the dog: stuff the nylon with padding polyester.

We stuff nylon with padding polyester

Using a needle and thread, we shape the doggie’s nose, separating a small ball.

Separate a small ball and form the nose of the dog using thread and needle

We do the cheeks in a similar way.

The dog's cheeks are made in the same way as the nose

To indicate the relief on the cheeks, we make small stitches over their entire surface. Then we form the muzzle further: the fold behind the nose, the brow ridges, the bridge of the nose (everything is done by folding the material and fixing it with threads).

All elements are formed by folding the material and fixing it with threads (the relief on the cheeks is formed by tightening stitches)

We sew up the back part and glue the eyes under the eyebrows.

After sewing up the back, glue on the dog’s eyes.

To color the toy we use eye shadow.

Realistically paint the dog's face with dark gray shadows

The missing parts (ears, paws and tail) are similarly formed from small pieces of nylon and filler. The ears and claws on the paws are also painted using shadows. You can put a children's vest on the finished dog - he will become more cute.

To make the finished dog even cuter, you can put a baby vest on it

New Year's dachshund made from salt dough

To create this craft you will need the following material.

1. Ready salted dough.
2. Knife, rolling pin.
3. Gouache, varnish.
4. Paint brushes.

First you need to draw the silhouette of a dachshund on paper, and then cut it out, removing small protruding parts (ears and tail).

Ears and tail need to be cut off

The dough should be rolled out into a layer approximately 4 cm thick, a stencil should be placed on the flatbread and cut along the contour (the remaining mass should be stored in the refrigerator). Use a wet brush to smooth out the angular cuts and moisten the dog’s face well. Two small balls of dough are formed into ovals and placed at the top of the muzzle. Another ball will become the nose. Using a knife, the eyelids and slightly open mouth of the dachshund are marked. From a large piece of dough we make a long, wide ear for the dog: first we form a sausage, and then flatten it along its entire length.

We form the eyes from small ovals, mark the eyelids and a slightly open mouth with a knife, and attach the ear

We “put” a funny hat on the dachshund (we make a triangle out of the dough and tilt one corner to the side). Use a knife or toothpick to mark a strip of “fur” along the edge of the cap.

We make a hat from a triangular piece of dough, tilting one corner back and marking a strip of fur at the bottom.

We also make a simple silhouette of a Christmas tree from the dough and sculpt it instead of a tail on the dog’s back. Using a knife, we give the Christmas tree some relief. Under the Christmas tree we place a garland of small balls, they are located at an equal distance from each other.

Adding elements New Year's decor- Christmas trees and garland

The craft now needs to be dried and then beautifully painted. We paint the dog's body and head dark yellow. While it is still wet, make the edge of the ear and part of the back darker, light brown. It is necessary to achieve a smooth transition (this is why the yellow color should still be wet).

We paint the main part of the craft with a dark yellow color, and while it is still wet, we darken some parts

After the base has dried, paint the eyes and decorative elements. The finished dog is varnished. You can additionally glue shiny rhinestones with adhesive to the Christmas tree and garland.

Such a dog can be hung as a toy on a Christmas tree. Such a dog can be easily made from an ordinary cardboard box big size Simple craft made from cardboard folded in half The craft can be easily completed by a senior preschooler The highlight of the image is huge eyes with long eyelashes To work you will need multi-colored yarn, a hook and a needle and thread The puppies turn out plump and funny The body of a cheerful puppy is made of a computer disk

Kindergarten is the social life of young children; they spend a lot of time there. And the teacher’s task is to give the kids as many positive emotions as possible. And this is easy to do if such a thing is approaching magical holiday, like New Year, by decorating a group room, the teacher creates the atmosphere of a fairy tale. To do this, it is important to focus on the windows, decorate the door beautifully, and draw interesting posters for wall decor together with the children. An interesting idea is to hold a competition among parents to create Christmas tree and crafts with the image of a dog - the symbol of 2018. And, of course, we must not forget about such an important attribute as a box for letters to Santa Claus.
