8 interesting ideas on how to decorate a house for the New Year with children

New Year is the most fabulous time of the year. And we all want a holiday, especially children. So that there are as many New Year's attributes around as possible: garlands sparkled, it smelled of pine needles and tangerines, and snow-white snowflakes swirled outside the windows. Here are some ideas that will help you create a magical holiday atmosphere in your home.

Before the New Year, arrange an audit and collect all unnecessary small items and toys. Encourage your child to make their own holiday wreath and help glue the items onto the base. The basis for a wreath can be made independently by twisting it from a newspaper, unnecessary bags wrapped in masking tape. The resulting wreath can be painted with spray paint from a spray can, for example, in white or gold, and also wrapped with a Christmas tree garland. Using a hot glue gun, glue faux spruce branches, cones, and other natural materials or details that you want to use to the base of the wreath with a hot glue gun. Hang this beauty on your door.

Various items can be glued onto a large cardboard or foam cone - and you get an unusual Christmas tree. Or stick them in the shape of a Christmas tree on a wall or some other base. Figures can be left multi-colored or painted in one color. With such an unusual Christmas tree, it is very interesting to play the game "Find what I see!" Name the object that is on the Christmas tree, and the child must find it. For example: "I see a LEGO brick!"

Stick plasticine balls or balls of felt, cotton wool or tissue paper on the branches. Twigs can be painted white or covered with glue and rolled in glitter, salt or artificial snow.

You can make a big gift sock out of an old unwanted winter sweater. Cut out the largest possible blank of the future sock and sew the edges manually or on a typewriter.

Fill your apartment with magical holiday scents. Poke an orange peel with a toothpick and have your child insert a clove into it. You can make fabulous patterns from carnations: snowflakes, stars, or just a funny face. Lines for patterns can be pre-marked with a pen or marker.

For homemade Christmas tree balls, you can use Styrofoam blanks that are sold on the Internet. Paste such a ball with small objects using a hot glue gun (for example, beads, medium-sized felt balls, natural materials) or coat with plasticine and lay patterns on it with cereals and seeds. Also, balls can be painted or decorated using decoupage technique. For suspension, a metal ring screw can be inserted into the ball. Or have your child cut out their own Christmas tree ornaments out of cardboard and decorate them. Cardboard blanks can be decorated with glitter glue, appliqués, stickers, drawings, or glue all kinds of small objects to them. On the bases covered with plasticine, you can lay out beautiful patterns from seeds, pistachio shells, beads and various cereals. Excellent Christmas decorations are made from clay, salt dough or plastic for modeling. Bright pompoms that a child can make himself will look very elegant on the Christmas tree. To do this, you need to wind thick yarn on your palm, then remove it and tie it in the middle. Cut the loops and trim the resulting ball with scissors.

Decorate your apartment for the holidays with garlands that don't take long to make! Such garlands can be hung on walls, windows, and also stretched under the ceiling from one wall to another. You can sew on a typewriter or glue New Year's silhouettes cut out of paper to a long thread: Christmas trees, stars, houses, squirrels, bunnies. Children themselves can string multi-colored felt balls or home-made plastic beads for modeling on a thread. A snow garland of cotton balls strung on a fishing line or a garland of snowflakes will look beautiful on the window. Have your child make their own garland. Let him cut out various shapes from paper, make bows, tie ribbons, add toys and pictures to the garland. An interesting garland can be assembled from natural materials: cones, twigs, rose hips,
