By the New Year, it is customary to decorate not only their houses and apartments, but also all public spaces and even city streets. The atmosphere of expectation of the holiday covers the whole city, and every day becomes truly magical. Maintain a festive mood and all pre-school and educational institutions. How to decorate a group for the New Year in kindergarten is a question that concerns any educator and responsible parent.
Safety comes first
When decorating rooms in a kindergarten, it is important to observe the most important rule - the younger the children, the less decor, and vice versa. Pupils of older groups can take an active part in preparing for the holiday. If the room is designed for babies, decorations should be placed above their height. Parents can help decorate the children's group for the New Year. The teacher should not be shy to turn to mothers and fathers with this request and invite each family to contribute to the preparation for the holiday. Observe safety precautions; do not place flammable jewelry near electrical appliances. When attaching the decor, do not use pins or buttons. Pay attention to the choice of jewelry. They should be unbreakable, light, not have sharp corners and pricking elements.
Exhibition of crafts
Creative tasks are an integral part of aesthetic education. You can create a New Year mood in a group by inviting children to make thematic crafts. Do not know how to decorate the group for the
New Year? Invite the children to make snowmen, Christmas trees, or Santa Claus figures. The complexity of the crafts and the technique for their implementation depend on the age of the children. If space permits, an exhibition of finished works can be organized right in the group. Place a separate table or highlight a couple of shelves. A great idea is to thematically arrange a space for placing crafts. On the paper you can draw a winter landscape, and decorate the countertop or shelf with a white cloth or “snow” made of cotton.
Decorate the walls in a group
In the room where kindergarten pupils spend more time, it is most convenient to decorate the walls. Parents can be connected to the production of wall newspapers. There are a lot of topics for the holiday posters: “Winter Fun”, “Holiday Traditions”, “New Year in Different Countries”, “Rules of Conduct During a Winter Walk” and all that your fantasy tells you.
How to decorate a group for the New Year, if you have enough tinsel? Of the brilliant elements, you can lay out various simple shapes and short graffiti. For fastening, use ordinary transparent or double-sided tape. Form a Christmas tree, a Christmas ball from tinsel, “write” a holiday greeting or the numbers for the coming year.
Festive mood from the entrance
The changing room is a room in which parents help children to undress and dress daily; all the kids and teachers start their day here. Decorate the door leading to the group. You can hang a traditional Christmas wreath on it, which, if desired, can be easily made with your own hands from tinsel and Christmas toys. In the locker room you can also hang a holiday poster, put a thematic folder-folding bed. Wardrobes deserve attention. For each you can stick a small New Year's sticker. A great idea for educators is to make such an announcement in advance for parents: "We decorate the group for the New Year with our own hands, we are waiting for ideas, materials and crafts." Surely many mothers and fathers will offer original decor ideas, bring home-made jewelry, as well as tinsel and balls that are not used in home decor.
Window decor
If there are a lot of windows in the group, they should also be decorated for the holiday. The easiest option is to cut out snowflakes from white paper; you can also connect pupils of older groups to this work. Remember: if we decorate the group for the New Year with our own hands together with the children, then we trust to glue window decorations to them only at the bottom of the glass. But the top of the glass, to which the children cannot reach, should be decorated personally by the educator. An alternative window design is to paint the glass with gouache or draw patterns with artificial snow. On the curtains you can hang balls on ribbons or decorative pendants made of cardboard. How to decorate a group for the New Year in an unusual and effortless way? Try making voluminous paper snowflakes and hang them on a garland. Instead of traditional snowflakes, you can also cut out more interesting shapes and shapes and stick them on glass. Use special stencils for this or don’t be lazy to carefully draw a template on a piece of paper before you cut it.
Do I need a tree in kindergarten?
The main symbol of the holiday - the Christmas tree - is traditionally installed in the assembly hall, where all morning performances and other events are held. It turns out that if we decorate a group of kindergarten for the New Year, can we do without installing a Christmas tree? It all depends on the age of the children and the availability of free space in the room. If the group is already quite crowded, indeed, it is better to abandon the personal Christmas tree or choose a mini-option and install it on the teacher’s table or on a free shelf. If the place allows children too old enough to not disassemble and break the New Year’s beauty, you can put your own tree in the group. Invite the pupils to make toys for decoration with their own hands, if you decide to buy ready-made balls and tinsel, choose unbreakable and safe in all respects.
As you can see, there are many design options for the group in kindergarten . Many educators especially enjoy the winter holidays. “We decorate the group in the garden for the New Year with the children, try to do crafts in some new unusual techniques, and even come to work in such a beautiful room more pleasant and interesting,” the teachers say. Do not be afraid of possible difficulties; in fact, it is not difficult to create a festive atmosphere in the institution of preschool education, the main thing is to approach this problem with humor and optimism.
