Choosing gifts for the New Year is a pleasant event. I especially want to please the children. After all, children believe in miracles, in Santa Claus, and for them, New Year's gifts are of particular importance. There is only a month and a half left before the New Year holidays, and adults now need to think about what to give a child for the New Year 2020. Our TOP 100 best Christmas gifts for kids for 2020 will help you find interesting and useful ideas.
What do children usually find under the tree? Sweets, books and toys. Whether it is worth giving a child sweets and chocolates, what books he likes - here parents do not need advice. The toy issue is more complex. Choosing them as a gift, we hope that they will be not only interesting to the child, but also useful. And for a toy to be useful, it must correspond to the age of the child and the activity that is important for him at this stage of development.
100 best gifts for the New Year 2020 for children of different ages and genders
When choosing a gift, you should follow certain rules:
- Don't leave your purchase to the last minute, try to purchase a gift a few weeks before the holiday. Otherwise, you simply run the risk of not finding the necessary gift due to New Year's fuss.
- If the child is small and still believes in miracles and fairy tales (and knows how to write), and parents do not know what their child dreams about, invite him to write a letter to Santa Claus or draw a gift that he wants to receive. The kid, for sure, will tell his grandfather what he dreams of, and adults will only have to make his dream come true.
- Discuss with children over 9-10 years old what they want for the holiday. If you want to make a surprise, have the child suggest several options.
- Choose high-quality and practical things. Toys, vehicles or electronics should last as long as possible. If a thing breaks down quickly, then instead of joy, you get one frustration.
- For children older than a year, choose a present based on gender. At this age, toys can no longer be universal.
- Even simple gifts don't have to look cheap.. The manifestation of taste and sense of style is important.
- Christmas gifts must be age appropriate for the recipient. It is also important to pay special attention to safety. The toy must be made of quality materials, have a certificate. For kids under three years old, choose toys that do not have easily detached small parts, protruding threads, elements that can injure the child.
- Don't Forget the Packaging. Colorful packaging creates a festive atmosphere and will prolong the joyful anticipation when unwrapping the gift. If the store does not provide packaging, wrap the gift yourself in gift paper and tie it with ribbons.
- Your child will remember your gift if it is unusual and useful for him.. Ordinary things, such as clothes, school supplies, etc., are unlikely to surprise modern children. Children like everything bright and this should be remembered.
- When choosing a gift, consider the tastes and interests of the child. It is unlikely that your child will be delighted if you give him a thing that you yourself dreamed about in childhood or something that you yourself considered necessary and useful, without taking into account the needs of the recipient.
Many people think that for the New Year you can give sweet gifts to children, but for sure, they have already received a bag of sweets after visiting school or at the Christmas Tree. The winter celebration is already connected with the festive table, which is usually bursting with goodies, and, frankly, children expect completely different surprises from their parents.
Children are different for everyone - someone is not even a year old, someone is three years old, and someone is already at school, but they are all waiting for a special gift from their parents, grandparents, because on this magical New Year's Eve, the most secret dreams come true . Let's look at what gifts can be given to children, depending on their gender and age, so as not to miscalculate. Look through the gift lists and choose the option that suits your child and what they don't already have.
Choosing gifts for babies up to a year
Babies up to a year actively explore the world, and they will be interested in any present: a rattle, a ball, a pyramid. It is best to ask the parents how to please the baby. Maybe young dad and mom would prefer to receive a set of diapers or a package of baby food for the New Year 2020. If you want to make a surprise, then a good gift for a baby can be:
- Electronic swing or chaise longue for babies. The motion sickness center is a great gift. The baby is comfortable and calm in it, and the parents will free their hands and have more free time;
- A set of dishes for babies. Manufacturers create beautiful and safe sets of dishes that will help the baby eat independently. You can choose a non-spill mug, beautiful plates, spoons that change color under the influence of high temperature;
- A business board is a development board that contains a wide variety of entertainment for kids: from lacing to counting material: rings, cubes, beads that can be moved and counted. Such a board will captivate the child for a long time and will serve him for at least 2-3 years. (We read an article about);
- A toy wheelchair or a toy carriage for a girl. Toys that can be rolled on a stick or on a string are loved by kids. In addition, a wheelchair with a stick holder is an indispensable "simulator" for those who take their first steps. With such "support" the baby feels more confident;
- Development mat. A rug with attached rattles and toys is also a good way to keep your little one busy and entertained. And it will surely become a favorite place to play;
- Educational toys. Now you can find a lot of educational toys for every taste. These are pyramids, soft cubes, musical toys and much more. Such products are very popular with children and contribute to harmonious development.
When choosing a gift, be sure to pay attention to the quality of the product. The main thing is that the toy does not have small parts that can be swallowed, put in the ear or mouth, as well as elements that can injure the baby. The product must be certified and hypoallergenic. The product must be safe. If the toy says "from 3 years old", you should not give it to a baby, even if you do not see the obvious danger ...

Gifts for children from one to three
Babies grow fast, and even one-year-olds already understand that the holiday has come. Children rejoice together with their parents, admire the decorated Christmas tree and, of course, are waiting for gifts and miracles. For kids from one to three years old, educational gifts are also suitable, but now they will be more difficult than presents for the little ones. You can choose:
- Constructors or mosaics. Pay attention to details. They should be large so that they cannot be put into the nose or into the ear, and it should also be comfortable to hold;
- Vehicles (wheelchair or rocking horse, tolocar, balance bike). For the smallest, wheelchairs are suitable, which they ride, pushing off with their legs, balance bikes (if the child has a well-developed balance) or rocking horses. Such toys develop coordination, dexterity and teach to keep balance;
- Finger paint. Skin-friendly finger paints are a favorite pastime for kids. With the help of drawing, the child learns colors and develops fine motor skills. The advantages of such paints are that they are very easy to wash off and wash off;
- bath toys. A good and always relevant gift will be bath sets: ducks, turtles, a flotilla of boats;
- Military equipment in the form of tanks, helicopters and planes;
- A set of soldiers - pirates, Indians, Vikings;
- Massage Mat. This item will give a pleasant feeling and will be a good prevention of flat feet;
- Musical rug with images of animals;
- Children's developing centers. For children 1-3 years old, development centers are also suitable. With their help, you can study letters, numbers, the name of animals, fruits, objects that surround us;
- Sorters with light and musical accompaniment;
- Musical instruments. Children love to play music. Depending on the type, musical instruments develop breathing (whistles, pipes), a sense of rhythm (tambourines, drums, unless of course parents have strong nerves .. 🙂), hearing (toy pianos, metallophones, children's synthesizer);
- Stuffed Toys. Toddlers love to sleep with plush "friends". You can choose a bear or a tiger cub with a massage filler;
- Inflatable pool with balls;
- Reusable water marker mat for drawing with water;
- Night light-lullaby. A beautiful and funny thing that will sing a lullaby to a baby and give mom some free time;
- Clockwork toys. For kids 1-3 years old, it is better to choose models with a key. Such toys are safer than electronic ones and will help develop fine motor skills;
- Children's tablet player with sound effects and bright touch buttons;
- Singing book with beautiful pictures and New Year's fairy tales;
- Dinosaur collection;
- Toy mobile phone and camera;
- Carnival costume in the form of an animal or a cartoon character;
- Children's radio;
- Children's computer (tablet or laptop);
- An easel or a drawing board for young talents.
- Baby doll with opening eyes and mouth;
- A set to play in the hospital, hairdresser and shop;
At the age of one to three, children already begin to identify themselves as a girl or a boy, they also have individual preferences. Maybe the boy should be given a train or a car with an interesting backlight that makes various melodies and sounds. Or a talking steering wheel that makes you feel like a real motorist. And for the girl - a new doll, a set of dishes or a house.
When buying toys, pay attention to quality. Check the certificates, make sure the toy is strong enough and will not fall apart as soon as the child picks it up. The product should not have an unpleasant odor and shed.
Christmas gifts for children from 3 to 6 years old
Children from 3 to 6 years old already go to kindergarten, actively study the world around them, know how to speak well and can tell themselves about what they want to get for the New Year. If possible, then ask the child, if not, consider the universal options below:
- Constructors. Choose the number of parts according to the age of the child: the older, the more. Now you can create any design from details: pirate ships, princess castles, cars, planes, etc.;
- Kinetic sand with a set of molds;
- Children's tent. Children love to build houses and will be delighted with the finished corner for games and recreation;
- Sets of toy dishes and children's household appliances for girls;
- Fashion dolls for girls: Barbie, Bratz, Monster High, Winx, Baby Born;
- Cosmetic or hairdressing sets: hairpins, rubber bands and hair bows, a mirror, hygienic lipstick and other “girly” accessories in a beautiful cosmetic bag;
- Winter transport. Sledges, ice rinks, "cheesecakes", snow scooters - all this is perfect as a New Year's present. In winter, all children love sledding, but a snow scooter with a steering wheel is much cooler and will conquer even an older child;
- Radio controlled cars. Children over three years old already perfectly “drive” radio-controlled cars. Such a gift is also suitable for boys, by the way, and young autoladies also like radio-controlled cars. Any child will be completely delighted when they receive a car as a gift for the New Year 2020, especially if it is radio-controlled and, in addition to standard functions, will please the baby with flashing headlights, moving elements (doors, hood, body) or a sound signal;
- Toy weapon. Pistols, shotguns, machine guns with sound and light effects (no bullets!), safety bow;
- "Fishing" with a magnetic fishing rod and a variety of marine life;
- Cartoons on disks. Choose discs with classic or popular modern cartoons;
- Picture books. You can donate both developing books and fiction. Pay attention to the illustrations: they should be colorful and expressive, this is important, because preschoolers still do not know how to read;
- Thematic sets (cop, cowboy, knight);
- Sets of children's tools - children really like any toys that repeat things that adults use;
- Children's tablet with an interesting design for boys and girls, which has several learning modes, contains about 40 educational games, drawing programs;
- Specialized cars that match the originals will be a great present for boys. Good options are: loader, tractor or roller;
- Sets for creativity and modeling, coloring books, cutouts, plasticine, crayons, pencils and paints;
- Children's 3D backpacks and bags. An excellent option for a New Year's gift is unusual 3D backpacks in the form of animals or your favorite cartoon character. Such a gift will delight your child and will certainly become his useful toy, with which he will not want to part for a long time.
Since in this period the predominant activity for children is role-playing, most kids play with dolls with great pleasure. Among the TOP models: Barbie, Bratz, Monster High, Winx, Baby Born. If a girl already has a favorite doll, a variety of goods and accessories will be relevant, from strollers and cribs to fashion items, houses, horses and carriages. Babies and soft toys are very fond of, among which interactive kittens, puppies and bears will be especially popular in 2020.

New Year's gifts for elementary school students
Children grow and so do their needs. Often a first-grader asks Santa Claus for a personal laptop or iPhone. It is appropriate to give such presents only to parents and closest people. But you can please an elementary school student with other gifts:
- Items for winter sports: skis, hockey or figure skates, transport, snowshoes, etc.;
- Sets of children's cosmetics and perfumes for girls;
- Autotracks or garage complexes with a set of cars;
- Spy kits (they usually include binoculars, invisible ink, listening devices and other interesting devices and devices);
- Toy railway;
- Snowflake;
- Collections of LEGO constructors;
- Board games (football, hockey, billiards);
- Robots transformers;
- Beautiful, fashionable doll. Be sure to check what dolls are in fashion among modern schoolgirls (Barbie, Bratz, Monster High, Winx, Baby Born);
- Puppet heads for braiding and creating hairstyles;
- Interactive toys. Now there are many interactive toys that can talk or perform simple actions;
- Volumetric puzzles;
- Set for home puppet theater;
- Sports equipment for active boys and girls - skates, skis, balls, a beautiful sports suit, football boots, jump ropes, hoops, a punching bag or a simulator;
- For the development of creative abilities - an easel, watercolor and oil paints, a large sketchbook, a set of paintings by numbers for coloring, a set of polymer clay, plasticine. Musically gifted children can be given a children's electric guitar, a singing and recording microphone, a synthesizer, CDs with their favorite musical compositions and songs.
It is at this age that girls and boys want to become owners of roller skates, a skateboard, a bicycle or a gero scooter.
Expert in early and preschool development, speech pathologist Olesya Yugova.
You can also find unusual kits for creativity. These are models that are created from paper and cardboard, wooden spoons or matryoshkas for painting, sand frescoes and much more.
What you should not give as a gift is school supplies. Holidays are a time for relaxation and entertainment. In addition, the child probably has a pencil case or briefcase, perhaps of better quality than you were going to give.
And one more piece of advice. Before heading to the store, take a look at what is trendy among elementary students (read articles and watch videos). Last year it was spinners, this autumn it was foam planes. A fashionable toy is sure to please the student. Younger students are very vulnerable and very dependent on public opinion. Therefore, it is important to choose a present that classmates will approve.
Choosing a gift for a child for 9-12 years
Children of this age do not need to give frankly "childish" gifts. They may be offended by a doll or a set of cars. After all, the guys themselves consider themselves teenagers. It is best to ask the child what present he wants to receive. At this age, schoolchildren often have an established hobby that will become a passion for their whole life. If you are unable to pre-chat with the recipient of the gift or want to make a surprise, choose from the following options:
- Portable music speaker;
- Constructors (electronic, magnetic and other "complex" models, LEGO);
- Transport for skiing downhill (cheesecakes, snow scooters with control);
- Funny Christmas mask, vampire masquerade costume, scary or funny mask;
- Sets for conducting experiments;
- Board, logical, strategic games suitable for a child by age;
- Fashionable teenage jewelry for girls. Earrings, pendants, beads;
- Scientific instruments (microscopes, telescopes, binoculars);
- Table soccer;
- Games for PC and game consoles;
- Paints or felt-tip pens for painting T-shirts (at the same time, you can give a white T-shirt for experiments);
- Interior items for the nursery (night lights in the form of helmets, castles, domes, figurines or figurines, etc.);
- figure skates, a children's ATV, a punching bag, a children's sports complex;
- Radio-controlled water, land and air transport (quadcopters and air cushion boats are in trend).
Do not give children clothes: they may have tastes that do not match yours. School supplies and other useful and practical things are also not needed. Schoolchildren have a slightly different idea of usefulness and practicality. Don't forget, New Year's is a holiday. Give something that will bring positive emotions, items for games, for hobbies or entertainment.
You can also give an exciting adventure. It can be a quest, a horseback ride, a visit to a panda park, a trampoline center or a water park, riding a slide on cheesecakes, give a ticket to an amusement park, a go-kart subscription, an invitation to an exciting trip on ATVs. All this can be given to teenagers.
New Year's gift for a teenager
Choosing a gift for a teenager is a difficult task. The tastes of children at this age change very quickly, they are influenced by fashion and the opinion of authoritative peers. Various gadgets will be a win-win option: tablets, cameras, camcorders, smartphones, players, laptops, computers, game consoles, 3D pens and printers, etc. etc... You can donate a scanner, printer or music speakers for your computer. Of course, all these are quite expensive gifts that not all parents can afford. The category of mega-popular and mega-expensive also includes geroscooters, which every boy dreams of today .... You can also please a teenager with the help of the following presents:
- High-quality headphones (it is better to choose an unusual, interesting design);
- Popular games: "Twister", "Monopoly" and so on;
- Water, land and air transport on radio control (quadcopters and hovercraft are in trend);
- Selfie tripod. This accessory will be useful for anyone who is fond of photography or dreams of becoming a blogger;
- 3-D pen is a modern super-gadget for creative people;
- Virtual reality helmet;
- Games for PC and game consoles;
- A variety of manipulators for game consoles and PCs;
- Flash drives and more capacious external drives;
- Accessories for an existing gadget;
- Mat for dancing, yoga, for gymnastics or martial arts;
- Mugs with a photo of the recipient or other personal items;
- A popcorn maker to have a full-fledged movie show with friends;
- Subscription to fitness, swimming pool, language courses or other educational programs depending on interests.
Teenagers can also present gift cards, certificates or money. At this age, children will already be able to choose the right thing for themselves. In addition, such a gift will emphasize that you see in them an independent responsible person, which will undoubtedly please the child.
Any gift is well complemented by a sweet surprise: elite chocolate, a set of sweets, oriental sweets. But do not take sweets as a separate present. As a rule, children receive enough sweet gifts for the New Year 2020, and they expect more “material” gifts from loved ones 😉

Loving mothers: What to give a child for the New Year
It is not always possible or desirable to invite a professional Santa Claus to a holiday for children. But this will not be a problem if you know some interesting New Year's contests for children 7-8 years old to amuse the guests.
New Year's competitions for children 7-8 years old indoors
As a rule, for preschool children they are very simple, and you will not surprise schoolchildren with them. But New Year's competitions for children from 7-8 years old and up to 10-12 years old are more difficult. They, despite the difference in age of the participants, are suitable for any age group of schoolchildren.
- "Let's count to three." It's a competition for attention. One of the children who heard Santa Claus call the number "three" receives a prize from his bag. But it is not so easy to do this, because the leader keeps the score not in order, but in a scatter, deliberately ignoring the number everyone needs. The desired figure may even sound like “one hundred THREE” or “one hundred THIRTY”.
- "What are Christmas trees?" The host - Santa Claus or the Snow Maiden, at a very fast pace, calls the qualities of a forest beauty - tall, wide, thin, and so on. Children should show with their hands what the leader says. The one who mixed up and spread his arms to the sides, instead of showing the height, is eliminated from the competition.
- "The Song of the Christmas Tree" Competitions for children are often on the attention, like this one. The Snow Maiden begins to sing the well-known Christmas Tree Song with the children. But suddenly the music stops and everyone must continue to hum the song not out loud, but to themselves. As soon as the music resumes, the children continue to sing aloud, and anyone who has lost the rhythm or mixed up the words is out of the competition.
- "Big Snowballs" With the help of adults, children make large and dense balls from a wide sticky tape and newspapers - these will be snowballs. At some distance, more baskets are set up, into which the participants must fall with a snowball. The team that fills the basket as much as possible wins.
- "Collecting snowballs." The game involves all the same balls of their newspapers and adhesive tape. Grandfather Frost pours them under the Christmas tree, and the children compete, collecting them for speed. The winner is the one who scored the most impromptu snowballs in his basket.

New Year's poems for children 7-8 years old
This grandfather has many grandchildren,
Grandchildren often grumble at their grandfather.
On the street, grandfather sticks to them,
It grabs by the fingers, pulls by the ears.
But a happy evening comes in the year -
I'm waiting for an angry grandfather to visit!
Brings gifts and kind in appearance,
And everyone is having fun - no one grumbles!
Lanterns shine brightly
Forest fragrance everywhere.
Let smiles shine
On the happy faces of the guys.
The holiday is in full swing
We celebrate the New Year.
Let everyone get a gift
Who waits with hope!
Stars, balls, toys,
Sweet table and tinsel
Fireworks and fireworks,
And a star on the Christmas tree!

New Year! About him and in the summer
It's so nice to dream!
Like a magical, wonderful light
The tree will shine.
How do we hang balloons?
We wrap the branches with rain.
How about Santa Claus
Let's sing the song merrily.
We're all in a hurry today
To say to the Christmas tree:
Mom made us costumes
Bought new shoes
We can start the holiday!
What grows on the tree?
Cones and needles.
colorful balls
Do not grow on a tree!
Do not grow on a tree
Gingerbread and flags.
Nuts don't grow
In golden paper.
These flags and balloons
Grew up today
For fun kids
On New Year's holiday!
Children go to bed early
On the last day of December
And wake up a year older
On the first day of the calendar!
The year begins in silence
Unfamiliar from past winters:
Noise behind the double frame
We can barely catch it.
Will call outside soon
Winter day through the ice glass -
In a refreshing cold
From cozy warmth.
With a kind word we will remember
Years of old care,
Starting early in the morning
New day and new year!
The animals celebrated the New Year.
The animals led a round dance.
Around the green Christmas tree.
Danced and Mole, and Hippo,
And even bad Wolves!
Started to dance and Porcupine -
prickly needles,
And everything - to tremble, and everything - to squeal,
And that's it - run away from the Christmas tree!
Look: Well, at least he's good,
And he trembles with fear!
“But you won’t get me!” -
Turtle said.
We dance with a snail's pace,
But we'll probably beat everyone!
If there was no winter
There would be no tree.
Wouldn't dance under it
Hares, foxes, wolves.
Wouldn't tremble then
We are from the winter cold,
Not in the lair b, gentlemen,
The bear was sleeping, but in a puddle!
"If there were no winter, -
I scream with pain in my voice,
Would linger then
New Year at the Pole!
He wouldn't visit us
We wouldn't dance
Santa Claus did not come
With a beard, mustache.
If there was no winter
And it's always summer
I wouldn't read poetry
You, friends, about it!
New Year for the little ones: New Year's games for young children, puppet theater, home New Year's party for kids from 1 to 3 years old.
New Year for the little ones: games. poems, house party
New Year for the little ones
In this article, I shared with you ideas, games and useful tips for spending New Year's holidays at home. for the smallest children:
- children under one year old,
- Children from 1 to 3 years of age.
Section one. New Year for the little ones: the first year of life
If your baby is about a year old, then the first Christmas tree in his life is waiting for him.
Does a child need a tree?
Undoubtedly needed. This is a new experience, and vivid impressions, and the joyful mood of the mother (and the children "read" the emotions of the mother on the fly). The only question is how to introduce the baby to the Christmas tree and ensure his safety.
First. A Christmas tree in a family in which there is a baby of the first year of life should not be placed on the floor, but on the table, high - so that the crumb crawling or taking its first steps cannot touch it, pull it towards itself, reach for the branch and, clinging to it, pull the tree down.
Therefore, the baby will consider the toys on the Christmas tree and the Christmas tree itself, sitting in his mother's arms.
Second. The baby must be introduced to the Christmas tree. What is the best way to do this?
How to decorate a Christmas tree for a child of the first year of life and introduce the baby to it?
Each game or conversation with the baby about the Christmas tree takes no more than 3-5 minutes, while the baby's interest remains.
First step. Show your child an undecorated Christmas tree - just the way it is. (If you can see a natural Christmas tree on a walk, then consider it with your baby). When looking, talk to the baby, using those babble syllables and small words that the baby can already repeat after you: “Ah! Smells! Ahah! Let's smell the tree! (we hold a twig in our hand and let the child sniff it, bringing our hand closer to him). Oh, how it smells! ”,“ Oh, prickly needles, oh, oh (prick your finger and lightly the child’s finger - oh, prickly - we say jokingly). Oh, what a beautiful Christmas tree - oh!
Read the poem about the Christmas tree to your child:
“Daddy chose a Christmas tree
the most fluffy
the most fluffy
The most fragrant.
The tree smells like this -
Mom will immediately gasp! Oh! What a beautiful tree. Oh! (A. Usachev).
Second step. Play with a Christmas tree that has not yet been decorated and toys familiar to the child, for example, such toys as a bird and a bunny will come in handy. We will introduce the baby to the names of these toys, their actions, we will encourage them to repeat simple babble words.
Show how a toy bunny runs to the Christmas tree: top-top-top-top, how he jumps - jump - jump - jump-jump! Wow! Bunny fell. Get up! Jump, jump, the bunny jumps again. A hare galloped under our Christmas tree, sits and moves his ears:
"A white bunny is sitting
And wiggles his ears.
That's how, that's how
And wiggles his ears."
Give the bunny in the hands of the baby, let him stroke the toy, feed the bunny, show how the bunny jumps, where the bunny has ears. "Where is the bunny?" (hide the toy) - “No bunny!” (surprised). With a glance we are looking for a bunny with a child and we find: “Here is a bunny (we take out a toy)”.
Put the bunny in the box so that the baby does not see this toy and is not distracted by it. And show me a toy bird.
Plant a bird on a spruce branch:
"A bird has flown
The bird is small.
Sit down, don't fly away!
Flew away. Ai!
"Where is the bird? (Throw an opaque bright handkerchief over the bird). Here is a bird! (open handkerchief).
On another day, other toy animals can "run" to the Christmas tree.
Third step. Introduce the baby to Christmas toys and their names. (Even if you decorated the Christmas tree without the presence of the baby, you can do it now).
Let the baby touch Christmas toys that are safe for him: textile balls, wooden toys. Name what kind of toy it is, what it is called (“This is a yoke-ho-go-horse. The horse jumps and shouts: yoke-ygo-ygo-yoke!”). Show how the horse jumps, let the baby play with this toy.
Useful advice: Now they produce very beautiful and child-safe wooden Christmas toys that you can buy at New Year's fairs from craftsmen. These are Santa Claus, Christmas tree, cracker, candy, bear, matryoshka, grandmother, grandfather, bright ball, icicle and many others. And toys made of fabric and felt are easy to make yourself or use ready-made ones by sewing a loop on them for hanging on a Christmas tree. Use them for little kids.
First introduce 2-3 child-safe Christmas toys and their names. Where is the bear? Here is a bear. What a beautiful. The bear walks slowly: toooop-toooop-toooop-toooop. And who is this? Bunny. When the baby remembers them, then introduce him to other toys.
Teach your baby to find a toy, first naming its "adult" name, and then the lightweight children's one: Where is our bear? Where is the bunny? Where is the lala doll? Where is the dog aw-aw? Where is the yoke horse? Where is the b.b. machine?
When you decorate a Christmas tree, then ask the child to show you a toy: “Where do we have a tick-tock clock? Here is the tick-tock clock. Let's hang them on the tree. Like this! Ah, what a beautiful watch!”
When decorating the Christmas tree, read the rhyme to the baby:
“Mom decorates the Christmas tree,
Anya (child's name) helps her mother,
She gives toys
Stars, balloons, crackers.
We will invite guests
Let's dance and sing together."
Turn on fun dance music and let the baby dance to it with you.
Fourth step.
If your baby knows the names of toys on the Christmas tree well and easily finds toys on it, you can change their places on the Christmas tree - outweigh them. Will the baby find the clock in a new place on the Christmas tree?
Also add new toys to the Christmas tree. Particularly good bells or bells. Let the baby ring the bell and hang it on the Christmas tree. If the kid wants to ring a bell already attached to a Christmas tree branch, do not refuse him this. Bring the bell right on the branch to the baby’s hand and gently ring it together with the “hand of a child in the hand of an adult” technique.
Helpful Hint: You can buy bells at a hobby store, and you can buy beautiful, child-friendly little bells at fishing stores. Tie beautiful bows to the bell and bell and sew a loop to hang them on the Christmas tree.
Introduce your child to the lights of the garland on the Christmas tree. This spectacle always fascinates the child. Lights! So beautiful! Give your baby a few minutes just to look at this amazing sight for him: the lights are on!
"Christmas tree, Christmas tree, Christmas tree -
Green needle!
Light up different fires -
Green and red!
What beautiful lights! They're on fire! There are no lights. Where are the lights? (the lights went out on the flashing garland) Here are the lights!
How to decorate an apartment for the new year, if there is a baby in the house who is not yet a year old?
Decorate your apartment for the arrival of guests with decorations that your baby can play with. This is especially true for children 8-12 months old.
Playing with colorful flags
How to make a garland with flags for a child of the first year of life. Cut rhombuses from bright colored cardboard of different colors, fold them in half so that you get triangles - flags. Put your “triangular flag” on the rope and glue it at the bottom so that the flag stays on the rope, does not open, and at the same time it can be moved along the rope. Make such a multi-colored garland. The kid will be able to examine the flags and move them with a pen along the rope to the right - to the left when you take it on the handles and bring it to your homemade garland.
You can remove two flags from the garland, give one to the child, and take one to the mother. And dance a dance with a flag to the song: the baby “dances” in the arms of his mother: he waves the flag, the mother is spinning with the baby in her arms.
We will take the flag in our hands
And we'll go in circles.
Ay-yes, ay-yes
And we'll go in circles.
Show your flag to friends
Let's lift up and wave
(show how to do it, take the baby's hand with your hand and wave the flag, then release your hand, the baby waves by himself).
Ay-yes, ay-yes
Let's lift up and wave.
Look at your flag
Hang out with him buddy.
Ay-yes, ay-yes!
Spin around with him, my friend (mom spins slowly, the baby is in her arms)
Repeat this dance on different days - the baby will begin to recognize its melody and will imitate your movements with pleasure.
We play with bells or New Year's bells
The child will also be interested in decorations in the form of metal bells with bows, suspended on strings like garlands or simply in groups in different places in the room. The kid will be happy to pull the rope and ring the bell.
Take the bell in your hands and sing a song about it:
"Ding-dong - ding-dong!
Ringing bell!
Ding-dong - ding-dong!
The bell is thin!
Ding-dong - ding-dong!
Plays fun.
Ding-dong - ding-dong!
Masha (child's name) amuses!
We play with rattles
Rattles can also be included in the New Year's garland and hung in groups for bright ribbons. You can make a whole bunch of rattles for a child by fastening them with a festive bright satin ribbon. While playing with a rattle, you can sing to your baby a version of the dance with rattles adapted for the smallest:
Oh what fun today
kids have fun
Anya (child's name) was given rattles
Rattles are good!
Chorus:
Oh yes, call
ringing toy
Oh yes, call
Our rattle
Where, where, rattle?
Hid their kids
Show the rattles
Rattles are good.
Chorus:
Oh yes, call
ringing toy
Oh yes, call
Our rattle.
Take the rattles and "hide" them by covering them with a scarf so that one part of them is visible. Where are the rattles? The child needs to pull off the handkerchief and find the rattles, after which he himself plays with them.
Another garland for the little ones. You can tie rattles and bells into one big garland. Make a box with two side holes about 15 x 15 cm in size. Pass a ribbon with toys through the holes and tie it into a single ring. Get a kind of "carousel" in the box. The kid will pull the ribbon and get the next toy out of the box.
Playing with painted wooden spoons
Spoons can also decorate a room for the new year. Show your baby first how you can knock with a spoon on the floor, on the table. Later, teach him to knock spoons against each other.
Tuki-tuki, spoons!
Ringing hands!
Knock knock, knock knock!
Sounding spoons hear the knock!
We play with bunnies
You can sew small felt white finger caps for your child. Sew two long ears to the base - cap and draw a bunny's muzzle with a marker. It turned out "finger puppets - bunnies."
Show your baby a mini-performance with bunnies:
Fingers, fingers
little bunnies,
Bunnies danced (we move our fingers),
Bunnies played (we continue to move our fingers).
And… (pause) Run away!
After the show, put the caps on the baby's fingers - let him move his fingers and play bunnies.
How can a baby participate in a home New Year's holiday?
Useful advice 1. If you are going to visit a New Year's holiday with your baby of the first year of life, then find out in advance whether you will have the opportunity to retire from time to time with your child in a separate quiet room?
The fact is that the baby, and even after the road, will get tired of the constant presence in a noisy new group of people for him. Therefore, after 20-30 minutes of the baby's stay in the common room with guests, it is better to leave with the child in a separate room. In addition, in a separate room there will be an opportunity for the child to sleep if he gets tired.
If there are no such conditions, then it is better not to risk going on a New Year's Eve visit with such a small child. Because the baby can be capricious, and you will not enjoy the holiday. And he too.
You should not go to visit directly on New Year's Eve, it is better to go with your child for a daytime holiday to friends with children or relatives.
Helpful Tip 2. Dress yourself and your child in “party dress” She sets the mood! And your mood of the holiday is very important for the baby too! It also gives you strength!
Helpful Tip 3. Naturally, strangers will get acquainted with the baby at the holiday. There is no need to be afraid of this, but it is also not necessary to transfer the child from hand to hand to strangers, he may be frightened. But new contacts will be useful for a child who is about to be a year old. That's why let new people play with the baby when he sits in his mother's arms - they will tell him a joke, praise him, show him “patties” or dance actions. The baby is safe, he is smiling, everything is fine!
Helpful Tip 4. Ask the hosts and guests that at the time when the baby is present in the common room in it there were no sharp loud sounds (clapping crackers, for example), which could frighten him very much, so that the music would not sound loud. A baby of the first year of life cannot endure great emotional overloads; in case of overload, he begins to act up, cry and in every possible way express this unpleasant state of his voice. If other guests need to clap crackers, then leave the common room for this time to your quiet place outside of it. And then come back.
Helpful Tip 5. With a baby on a holiday, you will need to practice, communicate, play. He will not be able to just passively sit or lie down during the holiday. Think about what toys you will take with you so that the baby can play with them at a party. Teach your guests the baby's favorite nursery rhymes(magpie - crow, patties, ay-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta and others). Let the guests play with the baby - they will amuse him with nursery rhymes.
Helpful Tip 6. If you host guests at your home, then there will most likely not be any problems with a separate lounge. But another question will arise - if you need to retire with your child for a while to relax in a separate room, who will be able to play the role of host or hostess with guests at this time? It's good to have a friend or family member who can take over this role so you don't have to leave your baby alone in another room in an emergency.
Section 2. New Year for the smallest: children of the second and third years of life
For children from one and a half years and older, it is already possible to arrange a small children's home holiday. Invite 3 to 4 more children of the same age or a little older. It is important that the children's party is either at your home or near your home, because. during the journey, the baby will get tired and will no longer be able to actively participate in it.
Recommendation 1. Holiday duration. So that the children do not get tired, the active part of the holiday for such little children should be no more than 30 minutes, and the entire time the guests stay should be about an hour. This additional 30 minutes includes dressing up the children, and juice with treats after the holiday, but does not include the preparation of the premises for the arrival of the children - the room for the holiday is prepared in advance, even before the arrival of the children .
Recommendation 2 Holiday participants. Invite children and adults already familiar to the child to the holiday. If there is someone new for the child, then it is better to introduce the baby to these people before the holiday - let them come to visit you even before the holiday on a separate day. The fact is that young children always support each other in everything, especially in crying! Therefore, if one baby is frightened of someone unfamiliar and cries, then a friendly roar will be provided. To avoid such moments, you need to take care in advance that all guests know each other well.
Recommendation 3 One important nuance. The holiday will bring joy to children of this age and adults only in one case - if the children are not spectators of a performance carefully prepared by an adult, but its active participants! They will answer questions, call characters, play, dance. Moreover, for an early age it is very important that all children do the same action at the same time: for example, everyone throws cotton snowballs at a fox, driving it away. Or they all portrayed a bunny sitting under a Christmas tree - together and at the same time.
Adults also should not be passive spectators: if we dance, then both children and adults dance in it. Also, adults participate in games, showing a pattern of actions to their kids.
A) either give everyone absolutely the same so that this does not happen: two kids grabbed one toy and do not give it to each other (children at this age still do not know how to give in and restrain themselves),
B) or have a large stock. And if one of the kids suddenly grabbed a bell with a yellow ribbon, and the second one immediately grabbed it, then give the second another one of the same bell so that everyone is happy and satisfied :).
Be sure to give the children beautiful props for dancing - the same snowflakes or ribbons or lanterns or rattles for everyone, as bright festive props help the baby feel the atmosphere of the holiday and are very attractive and interesting for the little ones.
If you go to visit a family New Year's holiday with a child of 1-2 years old, and it is customary in the host family to bring individual gifts for the New Year, then in no case do you ask a child of 1-2 years old to give a gift to other children. There will be tears and spoiled mood. Just wrap the gift and give it yourself - and again, not in the hands of the child, but in the hands of his mother!
Recommendation 6 About Santa Claus. It is advisable not to invite Santa Claus to the home Christmas tree for children under 2 years old, the kids may be scared of him. Santa Claus for many of them is an unknown uncle in strange clothes, and by no means a fairy-tale hero with gifts. Let Santa Claus be painted on their gifts, which they will find under the tree. And they will see the “living Santa Claus” a little later, when they grow up.
What can you do with children 1-2 years old at home New Year's holiday:
- dance (both adults and children dance to any cheerful music with the simplest movements: we clap, do half-squats - springs, show flashlights, spin, stamp our feet),
- round dance around the Christmas tree (to any song about the Christmas tree),
— puppet theater viewing(more on this below),
— Christmas tree lights game when we blow, the lights on the Christmas tree go out (you need to agree with someone in advance so that this is provided). When we clap our hands, the lights come on again! Children's delight! But if we don’t do it together (for example, Vanya didn’t clap), then it doesn’t work, we must repeat!
— playing music on children's musical instruments. Give the kids the same bells, rattles and let them sound with them to cheerful music, and the toy bunny will dance to their accompaniment!
- mobile game.
How to decorate a Christmas tree if the family has children 1-2 years old
At this age of the child, the Christmas tree can already be placed on the floor, but make sure that it is stable and cannot fall. On the bottom tier of the tree(at a height accessible to the child) unbreakable toys are hung out - from paper, cardboard, cotton wool, fabric, wood. To the top tiers of the tree hanging breakable toys. We also hang tinsel on the upper tiers of the Christmas tree so that the child cannot pull it and accidentally drop the Christmas tree on the floor.
A child of one and a half - two years old can already be taught to decorate a Christmas tree by hanging several toys on it. It is very useful for the development of fine motor skills and sensorimotor coordination. Make a thick loop of string for unbreakable toys and teach your baby to hang the toy on a branch and remove it. Do not expect the baby to decorate the whole Christmas tree - he will hang only 2-3 toys, or maybe only one. Leave the rest for next time. This is a difficult task for the child, and do not overload him by forcing him to hang several toys at a time.
Happy New Year to relatives with a child 1-2 years old
Now it is more common for all adults to be focused on the child. In traditional folk pedagogy, for thousands of years, from early childhood, a child was taught to take care of loved ones. It was then that he would absorb the ability to be merciful, sympathetic, to help adults.
On the other hand, how much can such a baby? Alone - no, but together with my mother - a lot.
When we make holiday crafts with a 1-2 year old baby - gifts for grandparents and other relatives, then there are two extremes.
First, the mother does everything for the child. It turns out beautifully, but whose craft is this?
Second: the child does everything himself. But ... it turns out ugly and obviously that this gift is not a fact that you will like it. Perhaps it will be accepted, but just for granted.
How to make the gift beautiful, and the child actively participated in its manufacture. The way out is the joint creativity of an adult and a child.
Examples of joint creativity in the manufacture of New Year's gifts with a child 1-2 years old:
- in a New Year's card, an adult draws a background: the sky, houses, snow on the ground. And the child “poke” draws only snow swirling in the air (we take a pencil and draw dots with the reverse “non-drawing” end of the pencil, immersing the pencil in white gouache),
- a child, against the background of a winter forest made by an adult, can draw the traces of animals by sticking: jump-jump-jump, a hare galloped here,
- a child can, together with an adult, mold sweets, apples on a Christmas tree from salt dough,
- you can instruct the baby to smear plasticine on the background, and then against this background, an adult lay out a picture of small parts of plasticine.
There are many possibilities and options! And there is a distribution of work - what an adult does, and what a child does. Moreover, the adult does not interfere in the "children's" part. If you need to show something to the baby, then we show it on our own separate sheet of paper, and not on a common postcard.
We consider New Year's pictures
With children 1-2 years old, you can already see New Year's pictures in books and on postcards. Where is the Christmas tree, where is the star, where is the flashlight, ball, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden in the picture? And where is the star on our Christmas tree?
Round dances for children 1-2 years old
Children 1-2 years old really need round dances. It is in the round dance that the baby gets the first experience of interacting with peers. In the first round dances, all the kids do the same actions.
For example, the traditional New Year's round dance "Hare" for the smallest.
Zainka, come out,
Gray, get out!
Like this, come on out!
Like this, come on out!Zainka, take a walk,
Gray, take a walk!
Like this, like this, take a walk
Like this, like this, take a walk.
Zainka, jump.
Grey, jump.
Like this, like this, jump.
Like this, like this, jump.
Zainka, stamp your foot,
Grey, stamp your foot.
Like this, like this, stomp your foot.
Zainka, dance,
Gray, dance,
Like this, like this, dance!
Like this, like this, dance!
Zainka, bow,
Gray, take a bow.
Like this, like this, bow down.
Like this, bow like this.
All children in a round dance and adults make movements in the text. At the New Year's holiday, a toy bunny can ask the kids to dance with him. Then we will take the bunny into our hands, put it in a round dance (the bunny will dance between two mothers) and dance with it.
If children know this round dance well and easily perform its movements, then the task can be complicated. Then one bunny is selected from the children, he depicts all the actions in the center of the round dance, and all the players repeat everything after him. At the end, another verse is added:
Zainka, choose!
Gray, choose!
Like this, like this, choose!
Like this, like this, choose!
For a child, being in the center of a round dance is a very important experience! After all, he needs to behave freely when everyone is looking at him and attention is focused on him. Not every child will immediately go to the center of the round dance. If the baby is not ready, let him just look at the round dance for now or just walk in it with you. When he gradually gets used to it, he will also go to the center of the circle (this may be in a week or two).
New Year for the little ones: how to show a puppet theater to children 1-2 years old
It is not necessary to buy special toys for a puppet show. Your usual toys for children's games will also work.
Tip 1. Before the start of the performance, give the kids in the hands of toys - characters. Let him examine them, act with them. Let them become from new acquaintances to the child. Otherwise, during the performance, the baby will reach for new toys and demand to pick them up.
Tip 2. Instead of a screen, you can use:
- big box
- a suitcase, decorating its bottom as a "stage with scenery", and the top cover as a "sky",
- regular table
- cloth stretched between two chairs,
- fabric stretched in the doorway.
Decorations can be made using clothespins: stick the figurine on the clothespin, and attach the clothespin to the fabric - the screen.
Tip 3. How to move the puppets during the performance:
- when the toy speaks, it moves (for example, bends over - sways towards the hero to whom it speaks). When the character is silent, he must be motionless.
- when the toy enters the stage, it moves either from the back of the stage to the children (if it is a box), or from right to left or left to right (if the stage is a regular table),
- if the toy needs to move something along the plot of the play or pick it up, then you hold the doll with one hand, and do the necessary actions with the other hand,
- if you show a performance with the help of bibabo dolls (dolls worn on the hand), then you can express different gestures with the help of the toy's hands. For example, arms to the sides - this is surprise, the doll rejoices - these are jumps, the doll brings the hands to the cheeks "oh!"
- if you used a toy and you don’t need it anymore during the performance, then put it in an opaque box so that it does not distract the children’s attention.
Tip 4. At the end of the performance, first let all the heroes - puppets bow to the audience, and all the spectators slap the artists and heroes - puppets. Mothers - viewers show the children a pattern of actions and guide them.
New Year's round dances for young children
Below you will find round dance options for a home children's party. In order for the children to be able to play it, you must first sing a round dance with the baby at home before the holiday, make movements according to the text. Only then the baby will be able to act together with his peers at the holiday with pleasure and quickly, and will be glad that he heard a familiar melody and familiar words. Young children are very fond of repetition and everything recognizable and predictable. And they can not immediately get comfortable with a new dance for them.
It is enough to learn one dance or one round dance with movements according to the text. And the usual round dance around the Christmas tree, the baby can drive with other mothers and children and without preparation.
Dance with snowballs
For the dance, you need snowballs sewn from cotton wool. We take a ball of cotton and white thread with a needle. And we sew the cotton wool so that it becomes a dense white lump - a snowball. You can also make snowballs with your child from white paper, crushing it into lumps - balls. All movements are performed by children to the music in accordance with the text.
We took snowballs in our hands, ran along the path.
The kids ran, all dressed up are good! (2 p.)
We raise a snowball and shake it over our heads.
Swing over me my mischievous snowball. (2 p.)
Dance, you snowball, snowy little friend
Dance, do not yawn and repeat after us. (2 p.)
Let's stomp our feet, take the snowball in the palm of our hand
We will bring the Snow Maiden and return it to the basket. (2 p.)
Bunnies
Our kids had fun
And they circled and danced
Like bunnies jumping.
Jump-jump, jump-jump,
The shoe broke.

Knock-knock-knock-knock
Need to nail the nails.
Oh, our legs are tired
We clap our hands
Clap-clap-clap-clap,
We clap our hands.
We tapped our hands
Our hands are tired
I'll put them down, I'll shake them,
Bye-bye-bye-bye.
We rested a little
Our feet are dancing again
La la la la.
Beads glitter on the Christmas tree
Beads glitter on the tree,
Flappers and a star.
We love our tree.
Yes Yes Yes! (the words of the verse are sung by an adult and older children, and the kids finish the last line of the song in chorus: yes-yes-yes).
And Santa Claus is cheerful -

Brings us gifts.

Snow Maiden in a white coat
Always comes to us.
We sing and dance with her.
Yes Yes Yes! (N. Naydenova)
Dance with handkerchiefs
Who has a handkerchief in his hands
