Good day to all who visit!

A little more than a month remains before the New Year, and some mothers are already thinking about preparing the holiday. More precisely, I think everyone is thinking about the holiday itself, but it is among young mothers (and not very young ones, this is me about myself) in last years there is a tendency to arrange more and advents, that is, to organize not only the holiday itself-gifts-treats, but also "centralized" preparation for it. What is advent calendar and where did he come from?

advent calendar(Adventskalender) is a special calendar in European countries showing the time remaining until Christmas.
By tradition, this is a postcard or a cardboard house with opening windows, where each cell contains a candy, a note with wishes (in religious families - with excerpts from Scripture) or small gifts. Calendars also come in the form of bags, sachets, handbags or bundles hung on a ribbon. The Advent calendar consists of 24 days, counting from December 1 to December 24, when Christmas is celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar used by the Catholic Church.

Because we celebrate more New Year Advent stretches for 31 days.

In principle, I already talked about something about Advent last December, in a review of the Cute`n Clever Calendar, which made it easier for us to hold Advent and gave me a lot of ideas, but, in fact, everything was much more extensive.

I'll tell you my opinion right now. On the one hand, ready-made versions of advent calendars simplify the task for mothers, but at the same time they drive them into certain limits. Sometimes it is difficult and even impossible to complete a specific task from Advent on a certain day, you have to invent, replace, transfer something. Inventing everything on your own, you will have more options for maneuvers, if anything (it didn’t snow, frost hit, or vice versa, it’s pouring rain, the child is sick, not on the day of the week, etc.). The choice is yours. I am leaning towards a more independent option, especially since you can find a lot of non-banal ideas on the Internet.

Right now, I myself am starting to search for options for tasks for the future Advent 2019 (as usual, at the last moment), and I will share with you the ideas that we were able to implement last year, waiting for the onset of 2018.

And yes, I want to say thank you again for the review on the advent of the author PokaDetkaSpit, it was she who finally inspired me last year!

Initial data: Vika was 3 years and 4 months old, she doesn't go to kindergarten. We lived at that time in my mother's apartment (this is to rather cramped conditions).

Duration: 31 days, from 1 to 31 December. Again, comment. There were doubts whether it was worth starting at once for the whole of December, whether my imagination and strength would be enough, whether the interest and patience of the child would be enough. What is the result? In general, we did it! Yes, there were a couple of failed assignments that I rushed through and ended up having to do them myself. There were repetitions, but here it was precisely because, on the contrary, I really liked something, and my daughter constantly asked, “Will Santa Claus send another such task?”. Well, He is kind, he sent.

I really liked the idea of ​​​​creating entire New Year's villages on windowsills or in other places, with snow, houses, snowmen ... But I could not realize this just because of the lack of free space. We are not upset, we are trying to implement this year!

In the end we had this concept: receiving letters from Santa Claus, with different creative tasks, family activities. Fulfilling them, we bring the New Year closer.

Two methods were chosen as the reference system.

Firstly, the past day, after completing the task in the late afternoon, crossed out on the usual calendar for December with a cross.

Secondly, for each completed task, Vika received a “treasure” from Grandfather Frost (in the form of a pebble from the Fix Price store), which was thrown into the most unexpected place, but so that it caught the eye for sure. Naturally, at the end exactly 31 treasures were put into the box.

I will make a reservation that there were a couple of times, when we different reasons did not have time to complete, then the stone was received the next day. The daughter was not upset, because she already knew that everything would happen later, Frost would not deceive)

About more big incentives during December Advent. They were, but not every day. Although Grandfather decently gave me such nonsense gifts at the expense of my wallet. These were chocolate Kinders, paints or jars of Play doh, coloring books or small magazines with tasks, stickers, ready-made applications, inexpensive toys from the same FP store, New Year's books.

The daughter reacted calmly to the presence / absence of a gift on one or another day.

At the start of Advent December 1 was just ready calendar, and here is the Lotto about the seasons (it seemed to me quite appropriate and symbolic).

By the way, as I already wrote in a review of the finished calendar, at first none of my relatives particularly shared my idea. Mom sighed that the child would get tired of all this long before the New Year. Not to mention that “not ours” is a tradition ... The husband did not actively object (his forces go to fight the idea of ​​​​Halloween), but he did not support it either. But after a while, everyone joined! Both mother and husband began to help DM buy small gifts, print out the necessary materials, and somehow we all together helped Vika make an application from glue and various cereals, strewing the whole kitchen together)

If someone doubted the success of the idea, then everything became completely clear to me in the spring ... Some time after the noisy holiday, my daughter herself began to constantly remember the New Year and even more previous classes, asking if the New Year was coming again, what holiday was still you can “wait”, and that’s how I got the idea to arrange a summer pre-birthday Advent, but that’s a completely different story ... Although, I note that in summer Advent (her birthday is in August) we had riddles for every day, And now I also want to pick up winter ones.

So, I’ll try to remember from the photos what exactly we did for 31 days)! And how it all went.

On the first day, my daughter received the most detailed letter, Grandfather asked for help and speed up the holiday. I printed the first few letters on the printer. Then my mother found old Soviet New Year cards, and the tasks were simply written on them with colored felt-tip pens. We have this whole package now. When we ran out of suitable postcards, we switched back to the printer. Together with the letters, they left blank assignments if necessary: ​​coloring pages, templates.

December 2 (I realized that it is more convenient to leave letters not just anywhere, but in a special mailbox) and the task was to build this same box together with my parents. The usual cardboard box from the parcel, packing shiny paper, colored tapes and stickers with puppies from Fix Price.

There was another application made of plasticine, a Christmas tree.

From plasticine (Play doh) we sculpted snowmen.

There was also a task that played with the symbol of the year - to make treats from play do for the dogs.

Coloring pages on New year theme. I printed the blanks on the printer, the note indicated how to colorize: Finger paint, gouache or watercolor (several times).

Two applications from cereals, also on printed blanks (one of them is a puppy - as a symbol of the year).

Drawing with a glass of multi-colored soap bubbles.

Application "bunny" from cotton pads.

The emerging picture. I drew a snowman in advance on half a leaflet with white wax crayon, my daughter had to paint over the entire sheet with watercolors and see what would appear.

I would call all these listed tasks “medium” because of their interest. Of these, I liked cereals more, but my daughter does not really like drawing.

Now I'll tell you about the tasks that I didn't like at all. This is to glue a chain of colored paper and cut out snowflakes. Maybe it had an effect that at that time my daughter was not very friendly with scissors, only then they began to train more to cut ... But I liked to cut the snowflakes myself instead of Vika, she led)

In order to somehow smooth this out, after some time, closer to NG, Santa Claus left us a pack of ready-made shiny snowflakes from their FP, with which we just needed to decorate the apartment.

Still did Christmas decorations from self-adhesive paper, I cut and glued, and my daughter decorated.

And now let's move on to the tasks that caused complete delight. They are associated with ice.

Two or three times (repeat just at the request of my daughter) we rescued dinosaurs from the ice captivity that fell into the freezer and were frozen there in a block of ice (apparently, since the Ice Age). They melted ice by pouring hot water from a spoon, helping with salt (development fine motor skills goes very well here.)

On the last day, the 31st, I simply froze the last of the treasure pebbles in water, which were previously located in other places after completing the task, but I knew that there would be little time, since we were going to visit.

Yes, on the 30th we decorated the Christmas tree itself. This was also a task.

And I almost forgot to note that on one of the first days we wrote a letter to Santa Claus about a gift. The letterhead and the envelope were bought by my mother in a bookstore.

Returning to the ice theme. The second hit was painting with paints on ice, I also really liked it, I also repeated it. Everything is simple here, just freeze the water in advance in the form, give it to the child, and periodically rinse the ice in the process so that you can draw several times, not forgetting to take a picture of the resulting beauty)

Isn't ice beautiful?

And there was also drawing with colorful ice cubes on sticks. But it didn’t work out very well here, perhaps I added a little paint to each cube, the ice painted a little pale ... (who did this, tell me in the comments how it went for you?). But then we cheerfully mixed the remains of multi-colored ice cubes in a glass (well, mixing colors is generally our thing)).

Another fun field experiment is painting snow with colorful water from ... no, not spray cans, but from bottles of hydrosols. The first attempt ended pretty quickly, we got into a snowstorm in the park, and the second time I matched my husband’s schedule and the right weather, and we managed to make such a creepy traffic light snowman)) all gloves (but you understand that you have never regretted it!))

I really liked the manufacture of ice toys and hanging them on the street (they were made in FP ice cream molds, they resemble icicles in shape, supplementing with dry thuja sprigs, shiny foil).

And of course, a colorful ice garland! Here I give practical advice: pre-assemble plastic (not cardboard) egg cells and check for water permeability, some leak. Our garland hung in the yard for quite a long time, however, we did not find a Christmas tree close, we decorated the bush)

Another of the field events was a visit to the ice rink (the first for Vika). I think the impression is very memorable.

I'm sure I forgot something, but I think I conveyed the main idea. What we did not do that year is cooking different New Year's dishes, cookies / gingerbread. This year we will definitely be, my daughter has just awakened an interest in cooking. And I really want to include in the plan a visit to some beautiful place in the center of Moscow with New Year's illumination. In autumn, we really liked the walk on Chistoprudny Boulevard with projection lanterns!

And, of course, where without New Year's cartoons and books! This is already a traditional part of preparing for the holiday.

In conclusion, according to tradition, it is necessary to highlight the merits of the “object” of the review, in this case, the phenomenon advent calendar.

1. Many different interesting activities developing Creative skills child.
2. A magical atmosphere of immersion in a fairy tale, and not only for children.

I noticed, unfortunately, in recent years, that somehow I’m not really looking forward to the holiday, I’m not in the mood, hello old age. Routine, extra cleaning, inflated prices, eternal traffic jams, and then on the list of grumblers. But the New Year's advent calendar is able to resurrect faith in miracles even among adults, plunge into the atmosphere of expectation of magic.

3. Unity of the whole family, creation and preservation of family traditions

4. Helps the child better imagine the time left for the main holiday of the year.

5. It's just a lot of fun!

Mark as a minus the time spent on preparation and small funds, my tongue will not turn (more precisely, a hand))

Thank you all for your attention and have a nice pre-holiday fuss!

Waiting for the New Year and Christmas is always a magical time of the year, especially for kids. They are looking forward to this fabulous time filled with magic, the aroma of pine needles and tangerines.

the day before New Year to help children brighten up the period expectations wonderful holiday I decided to do in a group waiting calendar .

Our children are small, the younger group preschool age, for them time most difficult realm. Work on the development of temporal representations in children of primary preschool age is propaedeutic. (preparatory) character. The calendar helps"materialize" time.

There are a lot on the Internet different options making such calendars. I liked the idea with the grandfather's beard frost. The New Year will come when Grandfather's beard grows and becomes fluffy frost.

1. First I printed "portrait" grandfather frost.

2. Cut out a beard and mustache from white paper.

3. From the circles with numbers from 1 to 31, I made it on the computer and then cut out my grandfather's beard, adhering to the December calendar 2016.

4. Made a face out of pink paper, eyes, cheeks, nose.

5. "Put on" red cap.

6. Pasted a portrait on the background (two sheets of cardboard of blue color A 4).

Total size calendar A 3.

Children liked the portrait of Grandfather frost.

They glued cotton mustaches with the children. From cotton wool they made an edge on the hat.

Every day, children stick one cotton swab to their beard,

and when it becomes full and fluffy, the New Year will come. A miracle will happen, Grandpa Freezing become real and bring gifts!

The New Year is just around the corner and we all think about what kind of presents our preschoolers can make for their relatives. I want your attention.

Hello, dear colleagues, friends! I suggest that all teachers and parents of children make their own, such a didactic game.

So the time has come for the calendar of waiting for the New Year, the holiday is coming very soon. In our garden we decided to make a competition of calendars. I had an idea.

I would like to present to your attention a calendar of nature, which I made while working with children. preparatory group. In my opinion, such a calendar.

Valentina Yatskova Do-it-yourself calendar of nature This is our natural corner. Frosya the turtle lives here. We feed her, change the water. And about.

Every day, together with my preschool children, we note changes in nature (season, air temperature, cloudiness, precipitation, wind direction.

Calendar of nature: seasons (with your own hands). The manual presents the seasons with their characteristic colors and signs. What is the difference.

Good day!

Today I took a rather unusual topic for analysis. Some may not even know something like that and what it is eaten with, ahaha))). Honestly, I myself learned about such a craft a couple of years ago and immediately became interested in the idea. Now I’ll tell you in more detail, if literally translated, then the advent calendar is a kind of such a small cheat sheet or a reminder that something very important will be coming soon. For example, the most important event (date) in your life, Birthday or New Year.

Usually such things are made for kids, and they play and wait with them. right moments. But, I even met options for husbands, can you imagine?

We all don’t really like to wait, that’s how it turns out, don’t you agree? It is precisely such a little thing as Advent that will help us have more fun and count the moments. I suggest not to buy it in the store, as many do, but to do it yourself, using various improvised means for this.

Well, let's figure it out together, choose the stencils and templates you need and like, then run to print and surprise your little children. I hope everyone will like the selection, study with me.

It turns out that such a calendar was invented in Catholic families, the children impatiently tore off the sheet and, having completed the task, received a pleasant surprise, for example, fruits or sweets. Therefore, I propose to meet the upcoming New Year and Christmas holidays with a mysterious expectation. Follow all the recommendations and you will definitely succeed.

After all, nothing is impossible, especially when children are already familiar with such calendars and every year they ask them again and again.

We will need:

• wrapping paper or scrap paper 6 by 10 cm (there will be a hem for the envelope on one side and on the other side 2 cm and 3 cm)
• scrapbooking paper, size 30 by 30 cm
• scissors
• rhinestones and jewelry
• stationery knife
• glue or double-sided tape
• string or string
• marker or pen

Stages:

1. First you need to cut the required number of rectangles from wrapping paper, 6 by 10 cm in size (determine their number yourself, prepare as many as you want to have envelopes).

3. Tie each envelope with thread or ribbon and glue to scrap paper.

4. Decorate with rhinestones and sign the numbers on the envelopes, they will indicate the dates.

Inside each paper bag, put tasks, here is a sample, or come up with your own.

The next product is also incredibly beautiful and the author decided to create a calendar from ordinary bags. Which are also made by hand. There you are step-by-step instruction in pictures.

These bags will also decorate your home and give a mysterious look to the walls (you will see this later). They will need to be made from scrap paper in the amount of 31 pieces.

Then glue chips on each copy. They need to be cut, want to get samples?

Then use it to your health.

The final touch remains, hang everything on tinsel and somehow decorate it in a stylish way.

And if suddenly for some reason it was not clear to you how and what is glued where, then please refer to this video.

So, fold the tasks into a tube and tie with a ribbon or thread. Put them in a jar and pull out one note every day.

• The beard will be of two parts that need to be glued, I show one part here (as you can see, the text is hard to see, so ask, everything looks clear in the document, it shows here for some reason).

For the very young, such countdowns will be difficult, so I suggest shortening the days and waiting a week before the upcoming day.

Or you can even make a Christmas tree, on which every day to stick one paper ball.

As the balls run out, it means the New Year will come.

Advent with tasks for schoolchildren

It is rather original to imagine Advent in the form of houses. And it’s not at all difficult to complete them, especially if your child is in school and is 6-7 years old.

Anticipation of the holiday can be no less exciting and joyful than the celebration itself. The fashion for creating advent calendars came relatively recently, along with Christmas and other overseas traditions. The Advent calendar clearly shows how many days are left until the main winter holiday - Christmas, but these days it is more often done with indication of the days of December, i.e. counts down the days until the new year.

The main task of such crafts is to create a New Year's mood and decorate the interior. By the way, it will do a good job if you teach your child numbers and navigate the calendar.

You can create an unusual interior decor using a slate board. Draw numbers on it with chalk, pull the ropes under them, on which you fasten them with clothespins new Year decoration. Complete the entourage with a garland or. The magical island of the holiday is ready!

Try making a calendar out of colorful paper cups with numbers. Every day you can leave unexpected “pleasures” for the household in them: sweets, funny notes, etc.

A great idea is to count down the days left until the holiday with the help of linen bags with numbers, you can also put small pleasant surprises in them. The photo shows both ideas in two versions.

Make it reminiscent of Christmas trees and glue a number on each. Inside you can put sweets or small gifts for children.

If there is one in the house, decorate it on top with multi-colored "coins" made of felt, with day numbers.

The calendar in the form of sweets looks beautiful and appetizing. They can be made from fabric or bright colors. wrapping paper, reinforced inside with a cardboard frame.

But the product in the form of a garland of flags.

An interesting gift for kids is a calendar with (they will be an excellent decoration and educational material).

If you have plastic glasses with lids in your arsenal, wrap them in foil, stick the dates of the holiday month and place them in a pyramid.

If you cut out boots from red thick paper, glue them on top white fur, loops and draw numbers, you will get a great craft in the style of Santa.

An edible advent calendar can be made with cookies garnished with icing or marzipan.

All the ideas presented in the photo are bright and outstanding, choose the one that you like best and start implementing it!
