When you wait for your favorite holiday all year in December, your strength is completely exhausted, it's about my son. All year we waited for the holiday and it would seem that the finish line was already over and my son got bored that it took too long for Santa Claus to come to us. And then an idea came to my mind, I need to celebrate every day as an approaching holiday, cross out days in the calendar, for a child is not very interesting (in pending   DMB is yet to go through him)   and such an idea came to mind.

She painted a Christmas tree in gouache, on TV there was a cartoon “Santa Claus and Summer”. here are the heroes for my the calendar. To the calendar   It was not just entertainment, but also carried some kind of cognitive and developing sense, I decided to draw 31 colorful circles on a Christmas tree (in accordance with the number of days in a month, I painted circles, they are colored balls for decoration.

I put on a double-sided tape for fastening, and the decoration is ready. The task for the guys was to stick one ball every day, but each ball has its own place, depending on the color. Initially, I wanted to write more numbers, or toys of different shapes, but our group is still small, I decided for now to focus on fixing the material covered, the shape is a circle, and several colors, depending on age, can complicate the task. The kids really enjoyed it. On the same principle did birthday waiting calendar, in general, every event in our family is now fascinating and interesting expectation.

As soon as I found out about such an interesting tradition as the Advent calendar, I immediately wanted to try to introduce this custom in our family. True, last year I was a little worried that my daughter, at 2 years old, might not understand the whole essence of the tradition or would be too “tired of waiting” for the holiday with such an early preparation. But, as it turned out, all the experiences were in vain, the daughter was delighted with such an interesting preparation for the holiday and of the surprises that awaited her every day on the Advent calendar. Therefore, this year the miraculous calendar will again decorate our holidays.

After all, the sweetest thing in any holiday is the expectation of a holiday. And along with the New Year Advent calendar, waiting is much more fun. Thanks to him, the festive atmosphere in the house will reign long before the New Year. In addition, it will help to better introduce the child to the holiday, to engage in an interesting creative process. An advent calendar every day tells the child what interesting events await him today, what surprises and tasks on this day Santa Claus prepared for him.

In this article I want to talk about how you can arrange a New Year Advent calendar, what tasks and gifts you can include in it. When my daughter was 2 years old, our Advent calendar was designed only for the last 10 days of the outgoing year. It seems to me that for this age this is the most optimal duration. This year, I plan to start early and stretch the pleasure for 20 days already.

Advent calendar design

On the Internet you can find a huge number of different ideas for designing a calendar with your own hands. Basically Advent calendars are made so that for each day of waiting a small capacity is provided in which you can put a small surprise for the child. The capacity can be pockets, and drawers, and socks, and jars, and cardboard houses, etc. If the gift does not fit in the box, you can put a note “Look for a gift under the pillow” or attach a photo of the place where the gift is hiding. On all containers put down numbers that correspond to the number of days remaining before the holiday.

Option 1

This year, our Advent calendar is a small town of cardboard houses. These are mainly small one-story houses, but there are two-story, and even three-story buildings   To make small houses, I used the templates found on the Internet, I used different ones for a change, here are the ones that I liked the most: pattern 1, pattern 2, pattern 3. I deliberately cut the bottoms on all the templates, otherwise how to get gifts from the houses if they are airtight? (Just in case, here the same patterns with bottoms) Layouts are printed on color cardboard of A3 or A4 format, cut out, glued with PVA glue and done!

I made two- and three-story buildings according to the logic of template 2, only I changed the dimensions of the roof and walls. Also inside the two-story houses there are transverse cardboard partitions so that the gift from the 1st floor does not interfere with the gift from the 2nd floor

Option 2

Last year, our Advent calendar consisted of 10 gnomes made on the basis of cylinders. Generally speaking, Santas were originally conceived, but my daughter found them to be more like gnomes, and I agree with her.

Briefly tell about the manufacturing process of such gnomes (Santa Claus). The cylinder is made of colored cardboard in A4 format, behind it is fixed with tape and a stapler. The bottom is also made of cardboard and secured with a stapler. It’s not difficult to make a gnome’s face - all you need is colored paper, cotton wool and PVA glue. Well, on top instead of a hat - a normal toe of an adult. It is desirable bright, multi-colored and not too narrow, because from sheet A4, the cylinders are obtained of a rather large diameter. On the side we sign a figure indicating the number of days remaining until the New Year.

Option 3

And here is our 2017 waiting calendar. This is again a town but with significant changes. You can read more about it.

Tasks for the New Year Advent Calendar

I put all the tasks in the Advent calendar in the form of short notes. While my daughter did not know how to read, and we only, I made laconic notes with large block letters, read assignments together. Now that it’s already reading well, the size of the note can not be limited to 2-3 words   . In general, you can still try to designate tasks in the form of pictures.

Also, every day, in the advent calendar or next to them, all the necessary props are put in to complete the task.

So, the options for tasks:

• Decorate a Christmas tree

• Decorate the house for the holiday for example: and other decorations, hang tinsel, decorate windows and mirrors with snowflakes, etc. We love to decorate mirrors with such ready-made sets of glass stickers.

• Cook together or .

• Write a letter to Santa Claus.   If your kid still does not know how to write, this does not mean that you will have to do without this interesting task. Firstly, if the baby already knows the letters, you can try to compose the words together from the letters or syllables you prepared in advance. If you haven’t met the letters yet, or if you don’t want to play with them, you can make a letter from the pictures.

And we offer a selection of cool ones that you can do with your own hands to all visionary parents who like to create an atmosphere of magic and celebration for their children. Of all the holiday preparations, the New Year's waiting calendar for children stands in a special place - the cutest decoration of the holiday house.

Advent calendars with gifts

Since the waiting calendar came to us from Catholic countries, traditionally the Advent calendar for children consists of 24 cards or boxes with gifts, according to the number of days left until Catholic Christmas of December 1.

But since we are counting down to the New Year, your Advent calendar can consist of 31 cards (now also uses bags, bags, packages, pouches, pockets, mittens and everything your imagination allows) or 24, as in the traditional calendar expectations, just to give it to the child not on the first of December, but a few days later.

Another reason to make a do-it-yourself waiting calendar this year is to teach your child how to use the calendar and count.

What to put in Advent Calendar

Since there are still a lot of holidays ahead, then expensive gifts should not be put in the New Year's waiting calendar. These can be pleasant and useful little things.

Gift Ideas for Advent Calendar:

• sweets (sweets, chocolate coins, candies, gingerbread cookies),
• small toy figures (animals, cars, snowmen and Santas, Lego),

• stationery with New Year's symbols (original notebooks, pencil cases, pens, erasers),
• books

Advent calendars with tasks and riddles

If you think that there will be enough gifts for children for the New Year holidays, we suggest making an Advent calendar with tasks and riddles. What such calendars look like - you can see below.

Alternatively, you can make a mixed calendar, in which part of the days are gifts, and part of the days are tasks or riddles.

In these Advent calendars, you only need to mark the days that have passed to see how many days are left. You can make such a calendar in the form of fir trees, a house with opening windows, a gingerbread tree (), a set of cards or photographs, or simply calendar sheets glued to the refrigerator.
