This technique has long been used for sculpting. Salt dough can be made at home. It makes beautiful three-dimensional figures or paintings. Such a winter craft in a kindergarten with your own hands will not leave anyone indifferent.

How to make dough? Pour a little water into a cup, a tablespoon of oil and pour one glass of flour and salt each. The consistency of the dough should be similar to plasticine, knead well and not be liquid. Then we put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for about 2.5 hours.

After our dough has dried, you can make it colored right away by dividing it into pieces and adding food coloring. Or immediately sculpt figures from it and paint with paints after baking.

To make a shape, such as a Christmas tree, roll out the dough and cut out the shape with a knife. Trim each edge with your hands. Then bake in the oven at a low temperature. Once the Christmas tree has cooled down, you can paint and decorate it as you wish.

From salt dough you can fashion a snowman, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, cockerel and any heroes of fairy tales or cartoons.

Felt to help

Do-it-yourself winter crafts for school can be more difficult than for kindergarten. Many children already know how to sew, and soft felt will come to their aid.

For this you will need:

Multicolored felt.
Threads.
Needle.
A little synthetic winterizer.
Ribbon.
Sheet of paper and pencil.

Choose the shapes you like: Christmas tree, bell, dwarf. We draw a pattern on a sheet, cut it out.
We apply to the felt and circle, leaving about 0.5 cm at the edges for the seams. Cut out two blanks.
Carefully sew each detail, leaving a small hole.
We put a synthetic winterizer, a ribbon. Sew up the remaining hole.
We decorate at will.

Do-it-yourself winter crafts for school from felt can decorate a large Christmas tree at a holiday or become gifts for teachers. Having shown imagination, you can sew many wonderful toys.

Sweet wreath

Crafts on a winter theme with their own hands from sweets are becoming very popular. Children can make a beautiful and delicious Christmas wreath with gummies. After the holidays, you can eat it.

What is needed for it:

Marmalade round or oval.
Toothpicks.
Wreath preparation.

Manufacturing process:

We string each marmalade on a toothpick. Do it carefully.
If there is no ready-made base for a wreath, make a blank from a newspaper. Crumple the newspaper and give it the shape of a blank, you can wrap it with tape.
Gently stick the marmalade into the wreath so that they fill it evenly, without gaps.

They can decorate a festive table or hang on the door of a children's room. It is better to make such a wreath just before the New Year, so that the marmalade does not dry out.

Newspaper tree

The best do-it-yourself winter crafts, of course, are obtained from improvised materials. Everyone has old newspapers or unwanted books at home. They can be turned into an incredibly stylish Christmas tree.

What is needed for this:

Newspapers, book sheets.
Curly scissors.
A piece of thick cardboard.
Wooden skewer.
Glue.

Transforming a newspaper into a beautiful Christmas tree:

Cut out a small square from cardboard.
Lubricate the tip of the skewer with glue. We stick it in cardboard, let it dry.
We cut newspapers into squares of different sizes with curly scissors.
Starting with the largest ones, we string them on a skewer so that the corner of the lower tier peeks out from under the side of the upper one.
Having strung up to the crown with the smallest squares, decorate the Christmas tree with a ribbon or glue a paper star.

Such trees can be made in different sizes, supplemented with a garland of beads.

Cut out snowflakes

DIY winter children's crafts are beautiful and sparkling, what could be better in the New Year? Paper snowflakes are made incredibly simply, but they turn out to be delicate and elegant. To make them, you will need white sheets, scissors and imagination. We fold the paper several times to make a triangle. Cut out the pattern, make curved lines. The less of the leaf remains, the more openwork the snowflake will turn out.

You can use ready-made templates, but it is much more interesting to create your own. From ready-made snowflakes, you can make a garland by attaching them to a thin rope. Instead of paper, use napkins, corrugated paper, candy wrappers, or foil.

candy fir

Do-it-yourself winter crafts for kindergarten make it possible to dream up. A sweet gift is a favorite delicacy of little fidgets. You can make a Christmas tree out of candy for yourself or give it to your family. Necessary materials:

Chocolate candies in a shiny wrapper.
Glue gun.
Cardboard.
Tinsel.

The birth of a delicious and sweet Christmas tree:

We make a cone out of cardboard and fix it with glue.
We start from the bottom row. Glue sweets in tiers.
Try not to drip a lot of glue so that the sweetness does not melt and the wrapper does not melt.
We decorate with tinsel. The Christmas tree is ready!

Using sweets in different candy wrappers, you can make the spruce more bright and shiny.

Bouquet "Zimushka-winter"

In the cold season, fresh flowers are not very relevant. DIY craft "winter bouquet" can be made from materials that nature gives us. What can be found on the street:

Fir branches.
Fir cones.
Sticks.

You will also need glue, ribbon, thin wire. Cones can be glued to sticks with glue or tied with wire. From all the materials collected, a do-it-yourself craft "winter bouquet" is assembled. We tie the bottom of the branches with a golden ribbon. To make everything silver, sprinkle with glitter hairspray or special paint. You can make a branch of mountain ash from red beads by stringing them on a wire.

Snowman from threads

DIY winter crafts can be fun and funny. This is exactly what a snowman made of strings will be like.

The technique is very simple, the main thing is to prepare the necessary materials:

Threads.
PVA glue.
Air balloons.
Needle.
Scissors.

First of all, we inflate the balls of three sizes: for the lower part, for the head and for the handles. For convenience, pour the glue into a cup. We first dip the thread into the glue, then we begin to wrap it around the ball to form a mesh. When all the rounds are ready, they need to be hung up and held in this state until completely dry. After that, we take a needle and burst the ball inside the blanks. We take it out. Using glue, we connect all the parts of the snowman together. Glue eyes and nose. Optionally, you can make a hat, scarf, glue buttons.

Such a snowman turns out to be very openwork. You can make Christmas balls in this way using multi-colored threads.

Christmas toys made of colored paper

It often happens that the simpler the decor, the better the green beauty looks. From colored paper you can make toys, garlands and various pendants. Some of the easiest options:

We take red and green paper. Cut into strips of different lengths. We make a ring out of each. We connect all the details together and fasten. Attach a ribbon on top. A beautiful decoration is ready. You can make different shades.
From the colored stripes you can make a "flashlight". To do this, you need paper and glue. We have a short strip in the middle, long stripes on the sides. We fasten it from above and below, so that the sides form arcs, and the shape becomes like a flashlight.
You can make a postcard. Think about what picture to draw. Then cut out the necessary shapes from colored paper. Make an application. Decorate the card with buttons, sparkles, rhinestones.
Having made a lot of paper cones of various sizes, you can assemble the original Christmas tree. The more details, the taller and more elegant the tree will turn out.

With the New Year comes winter fantasy. A craft made with your own hands will not only please you during the holiday with its interesting appearance. It's also a great way to spend time with your kids. Collect all the materials you find in the house. Use your imagination and make beautiful holiday decorations. Do not use perishable products in the manufacture of crafts. For a school or kindergarten, spruces and snowmen are suitable, for home - snowflakes and Christmas toys.

The winter is merry
With skates and sleighs
With powdered ski tracks,
With a magical old fairy tale.
On a decorated tree
The lanterns swing.
May the winter be cheerful
It doesn't end anymore!
