The basis of the postcard will be a folded sheet of cardboard or thick paper. Take a small piece of green openwork ribbon.
Glue it to the paper, folding it like an accordion at the top.
Make the next piece of braid a little smaller than the previous one. Folding it like an accordion, glue it on top of the first braid.
We continue to work by laying out pieces of braid like an accordion. We should get fluffy spruce branches.
We fold the last ribbon into a cone shape and place it on the top of the tree.
We decorate the Christmas tree with decorative buttons and beads. At the top of the Christmas tree we place a star or a small bow made of red braid. A bright and simple New Year card is ready!
Look at the video on how to make a Christmas tree from corrugated paper using the cutting technique:
Christmas tree made from pieces of paper
A paper Christmas tree can be made in a slightly different way. We start the craft in the same way as the previous Christmas tree. We make a semicircle out of paper. For this craft, it is better to immediately use green paper.
Cut out small squares from thin green paper. The craft will look impressive if you use green paper of different shades. Apply PVA glue to a semicircle of paper. We wind pieces of thin paper onto a slightly pointed stick and glue them onto a semicircle. We try to glue the pieces of paper as close to each other as possible.
Fill the entire surface of the semicircle with pieces of paper.
Roll the semicircle until you get a cone. Glue the craft together.
Paint a roll of brown paint toilet paper. We cut the bottom part of the roll and bend it.

New Year's Christmas tree craft made from salt dough
Dough is an excellent material for creativity in kindergarten. Salt dough can be used to make wonderful New Year's toys and gifts. A Christmas tree made from salt dough is very impressive. Prepare salt dough. Add green paint (preferably finger paint) and glitter to it. To make the craft durable, you should add a little PVA glue. Mix thoroughly. We should get a homogeneous green shiny mass. Roll out the dough through the film with a rolling pin.

We decorate the Christmas tree with beads, rhinestones, beads, sequins - any New Year's material. To decorate the Christmas tree, simply press the craft materials into the dough.
Dry the craft. If desired, coat it with varnish for durability.
Each Christmas tree is special and unique. The Christmas tree makes a great gift for the New Year!
Candlestick made of salt dough for the New Year
A candlestick made from salt dough will be a wonderful gift for the New Year. To make it, knead regular salt dough. We form a fairly voluminous cake from it. Press a small tea light inside the cake. We need to get a candle imprint on the test.
We decorate the candlestick with beads and rhinestones. We put it out to dry.
Decorate and dry the candlestick
We coat the candlestick with varnish.
After coating the candlestick with varnish, we can sprinkle it with sparkles. In this case, we don’t have to decorate it with beads and rhinestones; it will be bright and elegant on its own.

Applique Santa Claus from a disposable plate
The easiest way to make Santa Claus is to use the appliqué technique. To do this, we will need a disposable plate, scissors, glue, factory-made eyes and paper blanks.
Cut half of the paper plate. Paint the inside of the plate with beige paint. We should get the face and beard of Santa Claus.
Glue the eyes onto the face and decorate the craft with a cap.
Glue on Santa's nose and mustache. The application is ready!

New Year's toy for kindergarten made of threads
New Year's toys made from ropes and balloons are becoming increasingly popular. The craft turns out to be very bright and impressive, and it’s not at all difficult to make. In order to make a New Year's ball out of rope we will need: a small balloon, braid, decorative flowers, PVA glue, paint and the rope itself.
Inflate a small balloon.
We wrap it with rope. Cover the workpiece with PVA glue.
After the glue has dried and the rope becomes solid, carefully pierce the ball and remove it.
Cover the ball with golden paint.
We assemble a small decoration from braid and flowers.
Place the decoration on the ball. The New Year's ball made of thread is ready!
Christmas tree made of pine cones
When the baby brings such New Year's gifts, he will surely surprise his friends and teachers.
An equally funny Santa Claus will be made from a child’s handprint cut out of cardboard and decorated with cotton balls.
The same cotton balls can be used to decorate Santa Claus drawn on a sheet of paper.
A good basis for creativity - blanks Christmas balls. You and your child can easily paint them in different colors
or decorate with pieces of thin colored tissue paper.
But any unnecessary item can become the basis for creativity - even a jar lid.
Just draw a beautiful, simple design on white cardboard,
insert it into the bottom of the lid and attach a ribbon loop to it. Makes a nice pendant.
The design of such a pendant can be anything - you can draw or use the technique to create any images that your imagination draws.
And the child can give free rein to his imagination by drawing different patterns with finger paints. Chaotically filling with stripes
or fingerprints on the space of a paper sheet, it will create the basis for making cute, simple Christmas trees.
Simply cut out a triangle from a sheet of patterned paper and fold it lengthwise. The result is a simple but quite interesting figure.
Christmas trees “decorated” with colored prints of various objects look interesting. Make a blank for such a craft in advance and give your child the role of designer.
It is convenient to use disposable cups and lids from unnecessary cans as stamps, dipping them in paint spilled over.
A golden star would be a worthy decoration for such a Christmas tree. To make it, simply cut out a star from yellow cardstock, coat it with glue and sprinkle it with glitter.
You can decorate cardboard stars with cardboard stars Christmas balls.
Or make three-dimensional trees and a Santa figurine out of it.
By wrapping cardboard with yarn, you can make beautiful boots.
And by adding elements of fabric, chenille wire or fluffy pom-poms to the plastic cork, you can easily make pendants in the form of a Christmas deer, penguin or sandman.
The interesting thing is that by taking any idea as a basis, you will get completely unique, unexpected ideas that will reflect your individuality.

All children love to make various crafts with their own hands, especially if loving and caring parents help them with this. Beautiful and cute little things made from scrap materials can decorate your home for the holidays or act as a gift for close relatives and friends.
On the eve of the New Year and Christmas, such crafts become especially relevant, because in this fabulous time you want to be imbued with a magical mood and give it to others. In this article we will tell you what New Year's crafts you can make with 3-4 year old children to give them to loved ones or to decorate the room.
The simplest New Year's crafts for children 3-4 years old
New Year's crafts that can be done with a 3-year-old child should be the simplest, since the baby does not yet have enough skills to make any complex accessories and cannot work with some materials.
As a rule, New Year’s crafts are made with a 3-year-old child, the main elements of which are drawings and applications. For example, on an ordinary sheet of paper you can draw the main symbol of the New Year - a Christmas tree using finger paints or gouache. While the paint dries, you need to cut out various decorations from colored paper - small multi-colored balls, stars, the sun, a month, and so on.
All these elements need to be glued on top of the picture using the appliqué technique. In addition, you can use other items, such as brightly colored buttons, pasta, nuts, and so on. After the Christmas tree is “decorated”, it must be greased again with office glue and sprinkled with semolina to create an imitation of the fact that our forest beauty is dusted with snow.
In a similar way, you can make a snowman figurine on a sheet of colored paper or cardboard. His body can be cut out of white paper and glued to the base or painted with paints. Also, cotton wool or cotton pads are often used for this. You can decorate this craft in any way.
You can also make a variety of New Year’s crafts from plasticine with 3-year-old children. These include all kinds of Christmas trees, funny figures of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, and bright Christmas tree decorations. The latter, by the way, do not have to be done independently. Three- or four-year-old children enjoy decorating plain Christmas tree balls with their own hands using felt-tip pens, paints, plasticine, glue and a variety of small objects.

More complex New Year's crafts for kids aged 3-4 years
You can make more complex New Year's crafts with a 4-year-old child, however, for this he will definitely need the help of his parents. In particular, to create applications you can use such complex material as corrugated paper. It requires careful handling, so if the baby tries to do something on his own, he most likely will not succeed.
If the child is already 4 years old, New Year’s crafts in the form of Christmas trees can be made from any available materials. For example, you can twist a sheet of whatman paper into a cone shape and fix it in that position with glue. The outer surface of such a Christmas tree can be covered with pine cones, multi-colored buttons and any other objects, and painted with green paint on top.
In addition, with the help of his beloved parents, the baby will effortlessly cope with the creation of various crafts that use elements and Such entertainment will not only bring pleasure to the child, but will also contribute to the development fine motor skills his fingers, which will certainly affect the expansion of his vocabulary.
In addition, today for sale you can find a wide variety of balls, snowflakes, Christmas trees and other New Year attributes in the form of foam or wood blanks, from which you can create toys and home decor with your own hands using acrylic paints, glitter, glue.
