Winter crafts for kindergarten reviews:

Beautiful crafts! (Zhenya)

We invite you to get creative and return a little to childhood, when any fluff is a ballerina, any box is a house, and any leaf is something magical and unusual. In childhood, imagination is very well developed. It’s better to make crafts on the theme of winter with your own hands for kindergarten together with your kids. Children can suggest and come up with a lot, but the technical side of the issue is up to adults. Further in the article you will find descriptions of winter-themed crafts that you made yourself for kindergarten and many ideas and tips. All that remains is to set aside an evening and start creating magic together with your favorite little ones!

We associate winter with snow, snowflakes, snowdrifts and, of course, Happy New Year. Crafts for a competition or exhibition for a kindergarten on the theme of winter, which can be easily done with your own hands, should reflect these ideas. Based on this, we will select ideas and material for their implementation.

You can make a panel or a drawing. But this may not be a simple drawing, but made using an interesting technique. Here's what you can use to fill a canvas for a drawing or a panel on the theme of winter:

1. Semolina drawing.
2. Application made from cotton pads.
3. Application made of cotton wool.
4. Drawing from white crushed eggshell.
5. Drawing with sugar.

All these types of designs and applications involve gluing ingredients onto a base with a pattern applied with glue.

New Year's installations are a favorite type of creativity for kids. For it, you can take an empty unnecessary box and cut off 2 walls from it. There will be a floor with two walls at an angle. This will be the basis for an amazing fairy-tale landscape or scene. Snow can be made from cotton wool, houses and trees from cotton swabs or newspapers rolled into a tube, painted with brown paint, like logs. Further in the article a master class of one of these installations will be given.

Do-it-yourself winter-themed crafts for kindergarten can be made from paper or empty plastic bottles, from burnt out light bulbs, and generally from anything you find at home. Next, consider a penguin made from an empty plastic bottle and dogs made from light bulbs.

You can also make crafts on the theme of winter for kindergarten with your own hands from threads; photos of such crafts with descriptions are further in the article.

Craft “Winter's Tale”

Now let’s look at the photo and detailed description on how to make some crafts on the theme of winter with your own hands for kindergarten.

We make things from what we have at home

We suggest using for crafts everything that is unnecessary in the house, for example, a burnt out light bulb. If there is a big paw, that’s very good. Let's turn her into a real New Year's penguin. What is needed for such magic:

• burnt out light bulb (preferably bigger size);
• acrylic paints or gouache and brushes;
• some firth or fabric in black, red and white;
• ribbon;
• glue (use a heat gun if possible).

So let's begin:

1. Paint the entire light bulb white and let it dry thoroughly.
2. With a pencil we draw the front part: the face and belly, which will remain white, the rest is painted black, except for the place where the light bulb is screwed into the socket. We paint this place with red paint. Let it dry.
3. Draw the eyes and beak and let dry.
4. We cut out oval wings from black felt or thick fabric and glue them on both sides.
5. Cut out a red rectangle for the scarf and cut the ends, tie the scarf.
6. We attach a ribbon to the top of the head and cover it with a strip of white felt or fabric on top. You can attach a pompom to the top of your head.

The funny penguin is ready.

Penguin from a plastic bottle

Now let's see how to make a penguin or Santa Claus from a plastic bottle. The scheme is very similar and simple. For this craft you will need 2 empty identical bottles. We cut off only the bottom from one, and cut the second in half and glue the bottom of the first eggplant to it with tape or glue. It turned out to be such a block.

Now we paint it white and let it dry. Then, in the same way as with the light bulb, we draw the contours of the front part for the penguin or the face if we are making Santa Claus. We leave them white, paint the rest either black (for the penguin) or red (for Santa Claus). Then we draw the face and draw others necessary details. We put on a cap and a scarf, if we made Santa Claus, then we glue on a beard from cotton wool or felt. These are some interesting crafts you can make with your children from unnecessary things.

Panel “Snowman made of cotton pads”

What is winter without a snowman! Children love to build snowmen in the yards and poke around in the snow, rolling lumps for him. But they will also really like making such a winter hero at home from scrap materials. What is needed for the creative process:

• thick cardboard for the base, light blue or dark blue;
• cotton pads;
• colored paper or thin felt;
• White paper;
• paints and brush;
• scissors;
• PVA glue.

Let's start building a snowman:

1. First, let's create a landscape around us. Cut out 2 colored rectangles from felt or paper and glue them onto cardboard. Cut out a brown tree trunk and glue it on.
2. We glue snow roofs on houses or half a cotton pad. We make the base of the snowman from two cotton pads. Glue on the snowman a cap made of felt or colored paper and a scarf.
3. We glue the discs as snowdrifts and snow on tree branches.
4. Cut out small snowflakes from white paper and glue them randomly.
5. Now all that remains is to paint the details: the snowman’s face, the windows.

A wonderful winter panel for the kindergarten is ready.

Winter panel made of semolina or sugar

Another exciting and interesting option pictures or panels on the theme of winter - drawing with semolina or sugar. Kids will be delighted with this activity. To make such a panel, take colored cardboard, PVA glue, a simple pencil and sugar or semolina.

Draw any winter design on cardboard with a pencil. For children in kindergarten, the simplest one is possible. Then coat all the parts that need to be painted with glue. Now pour semolina or sugar boldly and thickly over the entire picture. You need to leave it like this until the glue dries. Then just lift and pour out all the remaining grains that did not stick.

You can make a panel with a winter theme from plasticine with your child. To do this, you will need thick cardboard as a base, plasticine and a simple pencil.

You need to draw a simple winter story on cardboard. Mom can help here. It could be a landscape, a Christmas tree, a snowman or any animal. And then decorate the picture, but not with paints, but with plasticine, as if rubbing small pieces desired color, filling in the details of the picture. A child can handle this well, only under the control of his mother.

A similar panel can be made from thread crumbs. Everything is exactly the same until the moment of coloring. Before coloring, you need to finely chop threads of different colors and place each color in its own container. Then coat each element of the design separately with PVA glue and apply crumbs of thread onto it. This is how we fill in all the elements of the picture.

Crafts from threads

Snowman made of threads

You can try to make a beautiful, openwork and large snowman from threads. What is needed for this:

• two balloons and polyethylene;
• white cotton threads;
• PVA glue;
• branches for pens;
• cap and scarf for decoration;
• buttons for eyes;
• orange paper to make the nose look like a carrot.

Let's start tinkering:

1. We inflate the balloons and wrap them in polyethylene.
2. Wrap the balls randomly with thread coated with PVA glue. The thread must be passed through a tube of glue and wound.
3. Let the balls dry and burst the air base, pull them out through any gap air balloons from the inside.
4. Glue 2 balls together and place the snowman on a stable surface. To do this, you can glue a ring from a strip of thick cardboard.
5. Now we decorate the snowman with a cap and a scarf, and glue twigs instead of hands.
6. We glue the buttons in place of the eyes and nose with a carrot from a rolled up paper cone.

In general, you can decorate such a snowman at your own discretion.

Christmas trees made from balls of thread

Now let’s make a cozy, homely and christmas tree from balls of thread. To do this you need:

• threads of different colors. It is better to take half-wool or acrylic;
• thick paper, from which we will make the base of a cone or a purchased polystyrene foam cone;
• any beads or flowers made from ribbons and tulle for decoration;
• thick wire;
• pot or empty low jar;
• fabric, mesh or tulle for decorating a pot.
• jute rope.
• glue in a gun.
• gypsum.

Let's start creating:

1. Let's make the base. First, beautifully bend a small piece of wire for the leg of the Christmas tree and wrap it with jute rope.
2. Dilute the gypsum thickly in a bowl and transfer the required amount into a Christmas tree pot, stick the stem in and wait until it dries.
3. We decorate the pot with fabric and decorate it with a cone or flower.
4. Now the Christmas tree itself. We make a cone out of paper or take a ready-made one from polystyrene foam and put it on the leg.
5. We wind balls from different threads. You can involve children in this activity; they will be happy to help.
6. Cover the cone tightly with balls, leaving no gaps.
7. All that remains is to decorate our cozy woolen beauty. Glue on beads, fabric flowers, or whatever you want.

You can make such a Christmas tree without a base from a pot and a stem, just a cone of balls. It's both easier and faster. You can add sisal balls to the balls, if you have them, or make balls from coffee beans by simply pasting over thick lumps of paper colored brown with coffee beans.

Winter New Year's wreaths

Such wreaths are classics of the genre. They decorate the room in winter, preparing for the New Year. They can be made from whatever is at hand; they can be used:

• spruce branches;
• cones;
• chestnuts;
• pieces of paper or cardboard;
• acorns;
• bay leaves;
• dried flowers;
• coffee beans;
• paper flowers:
• flowers made of fabric or ribbons;
• just branches;
• New Year's balls of different sizes;
• the same skeins of thread and so on.

To make a wreath, the main thing is to understand the principle: first we make a base out of cardboard or buy a foam ring from a craft store and decorate the base as you wish. You need to stick the selected elements tightly onto the base, you can combine them, and then decorate them with a ribbon bow on the side and hang them on a string.

This wreath can be sprayed with glitter varnish or gold or silver spray paint.

Happy winter has come
With skates and sleds,
With a powdered ski track,
With a magical old fairy tale.
On the decorated Christmas tree
The lanterns are swinging.
May your winter be merry
It doesn't end any longer!

Winter crafts

Winter has come! Snow, frost, sleds, skates - WHERE? Our Latvian weather has again unpredictably canceled winter. Well, let's make winter ourselves, with our own hands. And create a festive New Year's atmosphere! And to help you I offer small selection ideas.

There has already been a lot about postcards, so I won’t delve too deeply into this topic, I’ll just post a few new ideas. Yarn, buttons, threads, ribbons, paper, pencil shavings and a little magic!

Last year there were Christmas trees made of stripes, this year we will make the Christmas trees a little more voluminous - we will twist tubes from colored paper.

Unusual candlesticks are made by simply cutting out a black and white picture of a city or castle and wrapping it around the jar. You can make a whole fairy-tale city. And the fabulous atmosphere will be supported by lanterns and candlesticks made of tin cans, on which an openwork pattern is punched.

A cone is already a Christmas tree in itself. And a lot of cones is a big tree.

Since we're talking about Christmas trees, here's an option. Elegant and original. And by the size and number of Christmas trees you can understand how big a wine lover you are.

And finally, I propose to remember our little brothers and make these unusual feeders. Gelatin is dissolved in water, then the food is poured in, placed in molds and cooled in the refrigerator.

I hope some of the ideas are useful to you and your winter evenings will be filled with creativity!

IN kindergarten or the school announced an exhibition of winter-themed crafts? Or do you just want to keep your little one busy with creativity on these cold days? In one material, we have collected for you 6 ideas for winter crafts from natural and scrap materials with step-by-step master classes, a selection of 60 photos and videos.

Idea 1. Tabletop diorama with a winter theme

A tabletop diorama will allow you and your baby to show off all your talents - from modeling to design. Moreover, using a variety of materials and objects: branches, cones, toys (for example, from Kinder Surprise eggs), plasticine, salty dough, cardboard, cotton wool and much more.

First of all, you need to come up with a plot for your diorama and plan the composition. You can recreate any of your fantasies or be inspired by our selection of topics with photos and small tips on making crafts.

Topic 1. “Winter in the forest”

The craft is made of polystyrene foam and plasticine. You can also make a bear from polymer clay or salt dough

If in kindergarten or school you were given the task of making a winter craft from natural materials, then you can use pine cones. They make excellent Christmas trees, owls, deer, squirrels and hedgehogs for the winter forest. By the way, we just have several master classes on making them

Want to do simple craft more effective? Just light it up LED garland! To embed light bulbs in cardboard, you need to make cross-shaped cuts in it.

This winter forest is made entirely of felt. Animal figures can be placed on fingers

Topic 2. “Winter House”

A favorite theme at winter craft exhibitions. The house can be surrounded by a forest or a courtyard with paths, a gate, a rowan tree, a skating rink and a snowman. And the hut itself can be beautiful not only outside, but also inside.

This video tutorial shows a simple and quick way making winter crafts from natural materials, namely twigs and pine cones.

Topic 3. “Christmas in a village/town”

If you build a couple of houses and connect them with beautiful streets, you will have a whole village or town.

The easiest way to make houses is from paper, or rather from printed templates that you just need to cut out, paint and glue. The next video presents step-by-step master class for making such a craft.

Topic 4. “The North Pole and its inhabitants”

Want to make a more original craft? We suggest making a diorama on the theme of the North Pole.

To make such a craft, download and print the templates (click on the picture to download), transfer them to cardboard, then cut, connect and paint the parts

Topic 5. “Winter fun”

A craft on the theme of winter fun illustrates all the joys of winter. For example, sledding, making snowmen or playing snowballs. Lego men (pictured below), Kinder Surprise egg figurines and any small toys are well suited for recreating winter scenes. You can also make little people with your own hands from plasticine or polymer clay.

Topic 6. Winter sports

Another very original idea crafts – diorama on the theme of skiing, figure skating, hockey, bobsleigh, snowboarding. By the way, the Olympics in Sochi can serve as inspiration and a model for modeling.

To make these ski figures, download, print, color and cut out the templates (click on the picture to download the templates), then glue a toothpick to the hands of the men, and a popsicle stick to the legs.

Topic 7. Scenes from fairy tales

Choose your favorite fairy tale and recreate one of its episodes. For example, this could be the fairy tale “12 months”, “ The Snow Queen", "Morozko", "The Nutcracker", "At the behest of the pike."

Everything in this craft on the theme of the fairy tale “At the Command of the Pike” is molded from plasticine and only the mill is assembled from matches

To make such a craft, you need to cut several holes in a piece of plywood and insert tree branches into them

This composition is dedicated to the theme of the ballet “The Nutcracker”. The figures in it are made of... clothespins. Unfortunately, clothespins with a round top are not sold in Russia, but you can order them on the Aliexpress website or use regular ones

From this video you will learn how to make a winter craft with your own hands based on the fairy tale “At the Order of the Pike.”

Idea 2. Skating rink with a controlled figure

The originality of this winter craft is that the skater can be smoothly “rolled on the ice” by moving a magnet along the back of the box.

What you need:

• A shallow tin can for cookies, tea, etc.
• Paper;
• Paints and brushes, pencils or markers;
• Paperclip or coin;
• Glue;
• Magnet.

How to do it:

Step 1. Decorate the tin box so that it resembles an ice skating rink: paint the bottom with blue and white paint and cover with clear varnish (glitter nail polish works well), you can place garlands and flags on top of the box, and snow-covered trees on the sides.

Step 2. Draw a figure of a girl or boy skating on thick paper or cardboard, then cut it out and glue it to a coin or paperclip.

Step 3. Attach a magnet to the back of the box. Voila, the skating rink is ready!

Idea 3. Painting made with prints

Drawing pictures with fingerprints, handprints, and even toes is a lot of fun, especially for preschoolers. All you need is imagination, gouache and a sheet of paper! In the following selection of photos you can see examples of such drawings.

Idea 4. Mini Christmas tree made of paper

Another winter craft idea for little ones is paper Christmas trees. They are made very easily and quickly, and you can use them in any way: as decoration for the same diorama, applique for New Year's cards or a panel to decorate a garland or Christmas tree.

What you need:

• A sheet of green paper and some brown paper for the trunk;
• Glue stick;
• Scissors;
• Sequins, rhinestones, beads and other decorations for the Christmas tree.

Step 1. Make a square from a sheet of green paper by folding one corner of the sheet as shown in the photo and cutting out the excess.

Step 2. Cut one of the short sides of the triangle into equal narrow strips, not reaching the fold about 1 cm (see photo above).

Step 3. Now straighten your workpiece and begin gluing the ends of the strips to the center fold line one by one, moving from bottom to top.

Step 4. Once you have secured all the stripes, fold and glue the bottom corner of the tree to the top. Further in the same place, but with reverse side, glue a small rectangle (tree trunk) cut out of brown paper.

Step 5. Decorate the tree with colorful beads, sparkles, buttons and other decor. If you wish, you can make several of these trees, glue loops to them, and then assemble a garland or decorate a real tree with crafts.

Idea 5. Snow globe... or rather a jar

Now we suggest making a real souvenir with your own hands - a variation snow globe. True, it will be made from an ordinary glass jar. The child can give the craft to a loved one, present it at a winter crafts competition, or simply leave it on the shelf for beauty.

What you need:

• Glass jar with lid;
• A piece of foam;
• Glue (hot or “Moment”);
• Acrylic paint for decorating the lid (optional);
• Artificial snow or just sea ​​salt, sugar, grated on a fine grater white soap or foamed polyethylene;
• Figurines that will be placed in a jar;
• Foam balls or any white beads;
• Fishing line;
• Needle.

How to do it:

Step 1: Repaint the lid the desired color and leave to dry. In this project, spray paint was used to remake the lid.

Step 2. While the paint is drying, let's make a “snowfall”. To do this, you need to string several foam balls onto a fishing line threaded into a needle. Use tape to attach the snowflakes to the jar.

Step 3. Trace the bottom of the jar directly onto the foam, then use a knife to cut the resulting circle out of it. This circle will become the basis for the figures.

Step 4. Glue your figures to the foam circle, then glue the resulting composition to the bottom of the jar.

Step 5. Pour artificial or homemade snow into the jar, close it with a lid with snowflakes and enjoy the view of a winter fairy tale.

Idea 6. New Year card

There are never enough New Year cards, so we suggest making a few together with your child.

What you need:

• A sheet of white paper;
• A sheet of colored paper;
• Scissors;
• Glue stick;
• Markers.

How to do it:

Step 1. Fold a sheet of white paper like an accordion three times so that each upper layer the accordion was smaller in width than the previous one.

Step 2. Straighten your accordion, cut the sheet diagonally and slightly in waves as shown in the photo above, then assemble the accordion again. You have the slope of a snow-covered mountain.

Step 3. Now take a sheet of colored paper, glue the blank onto it and cut off the excess. Hooray! The postcard is almost ready.

Step 4. Decorate the mountain with Christmas trees, draw snowmen and skiers and finally sign the card.

Using the same principle, but using larger paper, you can make a winter craft for kindergarten.

Crafts on the theme “winter” can be made from anything - as long as you have the imagination and desire. As a rule, winter-themed crafts are associated with the New Year, but you can do a lot of other things.

We will try to collect as many interesting and unusual crafts winter themed to give you something to do with your baby on those cold winter days.

Classic crafts, such as the Christmas tree and the snowman, are known to everyone. However, not every adult knows that even an ordinary Christmas tree can be made in many different ways. Therefore, I will tell you separately how to make a Christmas tree, and I will give several options as an example. Here, let's see what else we can make.

So, you can do:

Using the wool felting technique you can make these cute little animals:

And accessories like a hat or, for example, mittens will make such crafts perfect for winter.

The next option is to use beads. Look out the window - how beautiful trees covered with snow can be. Imagine a winter tree like this:

Beautiful, isn't it? And all you need is wire, beads and a little patience (or a lot of patience).
