Parents and children take an active part, which brings parents, children and teachers closer together. Family crafts are full of creativity and originality. Many of the parents participated in the competition for the first time. The family of Dasha Malykhina presented their work “Winter's Tale”.

Publications on the topic:

I would like to offer you my master class on making crafts for New Year's competitions. Last year I was with my pupil Angelina.

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 large falling snowflakes. Both the cloud and the snowflakes are made from cotton balls: by pinching off pieces of cotton wool, we compact them tightly into a fist until the fist is full. Having opened it, we get neat cotton balls. We glue some of it onto the cardboard outline of the cloud, and string some of it on a thread. We fasten the threads with snowflakes on the cloud - you're done!

Look original on pendants openwork snowflakes from white paper.

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.

Winter craft “snowman”

The most popular winter exhibit will, of course, be. It can be created from the most different materials. For example, by filling half a transparent plastic bottle with cotton balls, we get the head of a snowman. Let's glue on toy eyes, a felt triangular carrot nose, draw out the contours of the mouth with black circles and coals - and now the face is ready. Let's put a hat made of a warm white sock and a felt scarf on his head - and our snowman is ready to take a place at the exhibition.

And as table souvenirs, snowmen made from cardboard sleeves from toilet paper. Let's color them in White color, we glue on buttons, toy eyes and small felt noses - carrots, we tie scarves from braid - and now the snowmen take on a characteristic appearance. The highlight for them will be hats - headphones made of fluffy pompoms and pieces of chenille (fluffy) wire.

Snowmen made from cardboard rolls look very interesting.

For the first gnome craft you will need:

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

We cut out the shapes shown in the photo from felt and fabric. We sew the fabric parts together, then we sew the felt parts together, stuff the resulting part with cotton wool, this will be the body of the gnome. We embroider crosses at the base of the figure. Then, using a brush, we roll the cut out fabric parts into two tubes. These will make gnome legs. You can make boots for your feet. Sew the legs to the body. We make a beard out of cotton wool and glue it on top of the body. We make a nose and glue it. On top we glue the red fabric parts made earlier. The gnome is ready.


A simple and at the same time beautiful decor that gives a New Year's mood is a wreath made of mittens. Making such a wreath is easy. To do this, cut out parts in the shape of mittens, snowflakes and circles from colored cardboard. Glue circles and snowflakes onto the mittens, then assemble a wreath from the mittens and glue.


Nothing says so much about New Year's holidays like the smell of oranges. From their peel you can make unusual Christmas decorations. To do this, use a baking dish to cut out shapes from the peel and make a hole in them for tying. Toys can be hung on the Christmas tree.

Christmas tree decorations can also be made from felt, for example, in the shape of carrots, as shown in the photo. To do this, cut out the shapes, sew them together, and sew a ribbon tie on top. Cover the top seams by sewing yellow felt.


Excellent home decorations are made from fabrics and felt. From felt you can make an original picture with a Christmas tree or a garland, as shown in the photo. Sew Christmas tree decorations in the shape of stars from polka dot and checkered fabric.


Another great material for creativity is pine cones. You can use spruce branches and cones to decorate a picture frame or make a topiary. To create it, you will need a foam ball; glue pine cones and branches onto it using a hot glue gun. Place the ball on a branch and plant ready-made craft in a flower pot, cover the bottom of the pot with pine cones and branches and other decorative elements.

Even an old washboard can be used as home decoration. Glue a star on it, attach unusual branches to the side and tie a fabric bow. The craft is ready.

Simple winter and New Year crafts with children 2-3 years old

Hello, dear readers!

On winter days, especially New Year's, you want to immerse your child in a short fairy tale and do something interesting with your own hands. Today we will look at craft options that children 2-3 years of age can do. Despite their simplicity of production, these variants of creative tasks are distinguished by their originality. Such crafts can even be presented in a kindergarten at an exhibition.

  1. Snowflake made of cotton wool (cotton balls)


Apply a snowflake design to a sheet of paper using a glue stick or PVA (using a wide brush). Instruct your child to apply the balls to the glue strips. The result is a voluminous and beautiful snowflake!

  1. Snowman made of cotton pads

  1. Crafts from paper plates

The following works can be done using paper plates:

And if you cover the plate with pieces of napkins or crumpled paper, you will get a beautiful white bear, whose nose will be a paper cup, and its ears will be 2 pre-cut paper circles.


  1. Wax drawings


On a white sheet of paper with a wax candle, draw snowflakes or another design on winter theme. Invite your child to color a sheet of paper in blue colors. And then a miracle happens: under the stroke of the brush, the drawing that you have drawn in advance will begin to appear.

This is another interesting drawing technique. Ask your child to color the cabbage leaf with white paint or toothpaste and attach it to the paper. In the print you will see a wonderful winter tree. And if you try a little, you can depict an entire forest in this way. It is better to use Chinese cabbage.

If your child loves to sculpt, then he will definitely enjoy creating Christmas tree decorations from salt dough.

Salted dough without cooking:

1 cup flour

0.5 cups salt (preferably “Extra”)

0.5 cups water (add food coloring if necessary)

1 tbsp. vegetable oil

Mix all ingredients and knead thoroughly until smooth.

This dough makes wonderful figures that can be dried and painted.

Using molds for modeling (can be replaced with cookie cutters), we cut out the figures, dry them in a warm place (for example, for several days near a radiator) and paint them with paints. When sculpting, you can also decorate the product with cereals or seeds.

Surely in every home there is a toilet paper roll or paper towels. Cylindrical packaging can also be used.

Wrap the sleeve in packing paper or beautiful fabric, tie the edges with a ribbon. Don't forget to hide a surprise inside the cylinder!

This candy can be used as a Christmas tree decoration.

The tree can become a baby's handprint. When the drawing is dry, spread it with glue and sprinkle with salt. After the glue has dried, shake off any remaining loose material.


The child can decorate such a Christmas tree with felt balls or plasticine balls that he rolls himself. To give festive atmosphere, the cone can be painted in advance green color, apply glue to the edges and sprinkle with glitter or salt.


Cut off the front part of the sock (this will be the cap) and set it aside. Turn the resulting workpiece inside out and tie one free edge with a thread. Instruct your child to pour rice into the resulting bag (it’s more convenient to do this with a spoon). Tie the free edge. Using a thread, form the snowman's body and head. Wear a hat and decorate as you wish. The child can tie a scarf for the snowman.

A snowman with cereal is not only a home decoration, but also a wonderful tactile toy.


Volumetric paints look very unusual and beautiful. And it’s very easy to do. Just mix shaving foam with PVA glue in a ratio of 2 to 1. If necessary, you can add liquid dyes.
