The New Year is decisively approaching, and with it the fuss and pre-holiday worries. But this is an important event not only for adults, but also for kids. The time comes for beautiful and bright crafts, toys and decorations. You no longer have to look for interesting solutions on your own, because we have already collected a selection of 10 New Year's crafts that your child can make!
1. Snowman from a sock
There is an unnecessary white sock left without a pair - teach your child how to make a cute New Year's snowman out of it. Even a very young kindergartner can cope with this! For filling, take rice, buckwheat or dry peas, and for decoration - a few buttons, bows, ribbons and colored shreds.
At the toe, you need to cut off the toe and tie it with a thread on the other side. After that, pour the rice, give the bag a round shape and again tighten it tightly with a thread. By the same principle, you need to make the next ball, only smaller. It remains to attach the nose, eyes and decorate the craft with a hat, scarf, buttons or a bow.
2. Santa Claus from paper plates
From paper disposable plates left after an autumn picnic, you can make a cheerful Santa Claus with your own hands. Bend it or cut it in half, and then glue a paper cap, face, nose and eyes on the PVA. Small details can be drawn with a marker or felt-tip pens.
3. Snowflakes from pasta
There are no two identical snowflakes in the world, and they are all necessarily outlandish. Paper cuttings have become boring for everyone, but how can they be replaced? How about regular curly pasta of different types? They stick together easily, and then all that remains is to cover them with white or silver paint!
