New Year is the most long-awaited holiday for children. Each of us warmly keeps memories of the celebration of the New Year in kindergarten, and then with family.
The task of adults is to create for their children a unique magical feeling of the most important holiday of the year. And an important component of New Year's preparations is the decoration of the kindergarten for the holiday celebration.
After all, the child is in kindergarten for most of the day, so it is necessary to seriously approach the New Year's decoration of groups and the assembly hall of the preschool institution.
We offer you to get acquainted with interesting original ideas for decorating a kindergarten with your own hands, which will surely please children and their parents.
Ideas for decorating the kindergarten for the New Year 2018
Decorating the door
The first thing a child sees in kindergarten is the front door, and it must be decorated in such a way that the child understands that a magical world will open to him.
Decorating the door to the group, consider its color.If it is white, then it can easily be supplemented with a snowman made of cotton or garlands.
To create a snowman, you can attract children by asking to cut out elements of a snowman from colored paper. Then jointly glue them with tape or glue on the front door.
For groups with older children, you can dream up by adding snowman with Christmas tree decorations, garlands, cones. All this needs to be glued to the door, evenly distributed over the entire surface or create them with a Christmas tree, snowflake or other thematic compositions.
To decorate the door, use Christmas toys made of plastic only, otherwise the probability of breaking them and injuring the child is high.
Plastic toys are much better glued to the surface of the door and guaranteed not to break.
For the outside of the door, a Christmas wreath will be a great decoration. For kindergarten, it should be bright and childishly festive.
You can create a Christmas wreath yourself. For example, buying a base (Christmas circle) can be decorated with thematic decorations.
It is better if each child brings a favorite New Year's toy - a cone, an asterisk, a snowman, a New Year's cane, garlands, etc., and together create a Christmas wreath that will include a piece of New Year's expectation of each child.
Wall Decor for the New Year 2018
If the space on the walls in the group allows, then they can also be varied with decorations, in addition to the usual rain and garlands.
Highlight a separate wall to create a composition, it will be the center of attraction of children's attention on New Year's Eve.
There are several ways to decorate walls in a group.
- Create a thematic tale, for example, “Frost” or “Frost Ivanovich”. Be sure to create a Christmas tree from colored paper, garlands or decorative stickers, complemented by Christmas tree decorations. The rest of the fairy tale characters can be drawn independently or printed out on a printer.
Thus, we not only decorate the wall for the New Year, but also acquaint children with the characters and the plot of popular New Year tales.
- Decorate the wall with traditional materials such as tinsel or rain, cut snowflakes from white or silver paper.
Making the composition on the wall, remember that it must be the main element, which will be supplemented by Christmas decorations. It can be a thick paper fireplace, a decorative Christmas tree or a Christmas wreath.
Ideas for the design of lockers
Children's lockers in which kids leave their belongings must also be prepared for the New Year.
For younger kids, cut and paste a Christmas applique on each cabinet. Try to show maximum imagination, decorating each locker in an original and festive way.
For older children, you can use Christmas socks, which will go to small gifts from Santa Claus.
We decorate the ceiling in kindergarten
We do not leave the ceiling without the New Year's decoration, which, despite the inconvenience of decorating, can advantageously complement the festive decoration in the kindergarten.
For decoration of the ceiling, traditionally, “rain” or decorative ribbons of gold or silver color are used.
Together with children, you can come up with original decorations in the form of snowflakes, Christmas balls or animals, which then hang on the ceiling.
Pay special attention to the chandelier, which can be decorated with tinsel around the perimeter with a hanging "rain".
Original ways to decorate windows for the New Year
What is the New Year without white paper snowflakes on the windows? Our mothers and fathers learned how to cut ornate white paper patterns in childhood and pass on their knowledge to their children.
You can create the simplest paper snowflakes together with the children and decorate the windows with the help of toothpaste diluted with water.
But truly a fascinating spectacle is obtained if you create a whole composition of openwork paper figurines.
To create them do not necessarily possess artistic abilities.There are lots of templates on the Internet that can be printed out and cut out on the model.
See how the window looks, decorated with cut Christmas decorations. Christmas trees, snowflakes, Santa Claus on a sleigh with gifts, bells - all this will create a unique holistic picture that will surely delight children.
Today it is very popular to decorate windows in kindergarten with artificial snow. Of course, it looks spectacular and repeats the texture of real snow, but some children may be allergic to the chemical composition of artificial snow. In addition, such a decoration is hardly washed off the windows, leaving numerous stains.
Therefore, it is better to abandon the modern chemical methods of decorating the rooms where children are, adhering to the traditional methods of decorating everyone are used to.
If you draw well, then decorating the windows for the New Year is not a problem. Use gouache, watercolor or ordinary toothpaste and create an ornate “frosty” pattern on the windows, similar to the one that appears on them every morning.
Original DIY toys for the New Year 2018
The toy created by own hands looks unusual and is much more appreciated by children.
We offer you several ways to create Christmas crafts from unusual materials.

A variety of forms of pasta can be successfully used to create snowflakes or Christmas trees. Such crafts can be done with children.

For children, the most affordable to make a snowman from a fir cone. To do this, cover it with white paint and paint the eyes. The handles and legs of a snowman can be made of pieces of thick thread.
Christmas crafts for kindergarten from salt dough
Salted dough is very popular for making children's crafts. It is safely and easily molded with baby hands.
For the New Year, you can decorate the Christmas tree with hearts, stars, or clouds of salt dough.
To create toys, use figurines for dough, and until the dough is completely dry, decorate them with plastic elements in the form of colorful buttons.
Sometimes it is necessary to put a lot of effort to create a New Year's holiday mood, but this is incomparable with the delight in children's eyes when contemplating the beauty that brings a sense of fairy tale and magic to them.
