Idea 1. Tabletop diorama with a winter theme

A tabletop diorama will allow you and your baby to show off all your talents - from modeling to design. Moreover, using the most different materials and objects: branches, cones, toys (for example, from Kinder Surprise eggs), plasticine, salty dough, cardboard, cotton wool and much more.

First of all, you need to come up with a plot for your diorama and plan the composition. You can recreate any of your fantasies or be inspired by our selection of topics with photos and small tips on making crafts.

Topic 1. “Winter in the forest”

The craft is made of polystyrene foam and plasticine. A bear can also be made from polymer clay or salt dough

If in kindergarten or school you were given the task of making a winter craft from natural materials, then you can use pine cones. They make excellent Christmas trees, owls, deer, squirrels and hedgehogs for the winter forest. By the way, we just have several master classes on making them

Want to do simple craft more effective? Just light it up with an LED garland! To embed light bulbs in cardboard, you need to make cross-shaped cuts in it.

This winter forest is made entirely of felt. Animal figures can be placed on fingers

Topic 2. “Winter House”

A favorite theme at winter craft exhibitions. The house can be surrounded by a forest or a courtyard with paths, a gate, a rowan tree, a skating rink and a snowman. And the hut itself can be beautiful not only outside, but also inside.

This video tutorial shows a simple and quick way making winter crafts from natural materials, namely twigs and pine cones.

Topic 3. “Christmas in a village/town”

If you build a couple of houses and connect them with beautiful streets, you will have a whole village or town.

The easiest way to make houses is from paper, or rather from printed templates that you just need to cut out, paint and glue. IN next video presented step-by-step master class for making such a craft.

Topic 4. “The North Pole and its inhabitants”

Do you want to do more original craft? We suggest making a diorama on the theme of the North Pole.

Topic 5. “Winter fun”

Craft on the theme winter fun illustrates all the joys of winter. For example, sledding, making snowmen or playing snowballs. To recreate winter scenes, Lego men (pictured below), Kinder Surprise egg figurines and any small toys. You can also make little people with your own hands from plasticine or polymer clay.

Topic 6. Winter sports

Another very original idea crafts - a diorama on the theme of skiing, figure skating, hockey, bobsleigh, snowboarding. By the way, the Olympics in Sochi can serve as inspiration and a model for modeling.

To make such a craft, you need to cut several holes in a piece of plywood and insert tree branches into them

This composition is dedicated to the theme of the ballet “The Nutcracker”. The figures in it are made of... clothespins. Unfortunately, clothespins with a round top are not sold in Russia, but you can order them on the Aliexpress website or use regular ones

Idea 2. Skating rink with a controlled figure

The originality of this winter craft is that the skater can be smoothly “rolled on the ice” by moving a magnet along the back of the box.

What you need:

A shallow tin can for cookies, tea, etc.
Paper;
Paints and brushes, pencils or markers;
Paperclip or coin;
Glue;
Magnet.

How to do it:

Step 2. Draw a figure of a girl or boy skating on thick paper or cardboard, then cut it out and glue it to a coin or paperclip.

Step 3. Attach a magnet to the back of the box. Voila, the skating rink is ready!

Idea 3. Painting made with prints

Drawing pictures with fingerprints, handprints, and even toes is a lot of fun, especially for preschoolers. All you need is imagination, gouache and a sheet of paper! In the following selection of photos you can see examples of such drawings.

Idea 4. Mini Christmas tree made of paper

Another winter craft idea for little ones is paper Christmas trees. They are made very easily and quickly, and you can use them in any way: as decoration for the same diorama, applique for New Year's cards or a panel to decorate a garland or Christmas tree.

What you need:

A sheet of green paper and some brown paper for the trunk;
Glue stick;
Scissors;
Sequins, rhinestones, beads and other decorations for the Christmas tree.

Step 1. Make a square from a sheet of green paper by folding one corner of the sheet as shown in the photo and cutting out the excess.

Step 2. Cut one of the short sides of the triangle into equal narrow strips, not reaching the fold about 1 cm (see photo above).

Step 3. Now straighten your workpiece and begin gluing the ends of the strips to the center fold line one by one, moving from bottom to top.

Step 4. Once you have secured all the stripes, fold and glue the bottom corner of the tree to the top. Next, in the same place, but on the reverse side, glue a small rectangle (tree trunk) cut out of brown paper.

Step 5. Decorate the tree with colorful beads, sparkles, buttons and other decor. If you wish, you can make several of these trees, glue loops to them, and then assemble a garland or decorate a real tree with crafts.

Idea 5. Snow globe... or rather a jar

Now we propose to make a real souvenir with your own hands - a variation of a snow globe. True, it will be made from an ordinary glass jar. The child can give the craft to a loved one, present it at a winter crafts competition, or simply leave it on the shelf for beauty.

What you need:

Glass jar with lid;
A piece of foam;
Glue (hot or “Moment”);
Acrylic paint for decorating the lid (optional);
Artificial snow or just sea salt, sugar, finely grated white soap or polyethylene foam;
Figurines that will be placed in a jar;
Foam balls or any white beads;
Fishing line;
Needle.

How to do it:

Step 1: Repaint the lid the desired color and leave to dry. In this project, spray paint was used to remake the lid.

Step 2. While the paint is drying, let's make a “snowfall”. To do this, you need to string several foam balls onto a fishing line threaded into a needle. Use tape to attach the snowflakes to the jar.

Step 3. Trace the bottom of the jar directly onto the foam, then use a knife to cut the resulting circle out of it. This circle will become the basis for the figures.

Step 4. Glue your figures to the foam circle, then glue the resulting composition to the bottom of the jar.

Step 5. Pour artificial or homemade snow into the jar, close it with a lid with snowflakes and enjoy the view of a winter fairy tale.

Idea 6. New Year card

There are never enough New Year cards, so we suggest making a few together with your child.

What you need:

A sheet of white paper;
A sheet of colored paper;
Scissors;
Glue stick;
Markers.

How to do it:

Step 1. Fold a sheet of white accordion paper three times so that each top accordion layer is smaller in width than the previous one.

Step 2. Straighten your accordion, cut the sheet diagonally and slightly in waves as shown in the photo above, then assemble the accordion again. You have the slope of a snow-covered mountain.

Step 3. Now take a sheet of colored paper, glue the blank onto it and cut off the excess. Hooray! The postcard is almost ready.
