Educational institutions do not deviate from traditions either. Schools and kindergartens hold New Year's parties and other festive events. Most often, teachers and children are involved in decorating the classroom using toys and handmade crafts.

Simple tips with photos and decoration ideas can be useful for both children and their parents. After all, creating New Year's decor with your own hands is not at all difficult.

How to quickly and easily decorate a classroom?

The atmosphere of the approaching holiday is created not only by New Year's decorations, but also by the general mood. A few simple tips will show you how you can decorate your classroom with inexpensive DIY crafts.

The classroom should look elegant without losing its intended purpose. That is why thematic design mainly concerns walls, doors, windows and ceilings. If there is free space, you can install a small artificial or live Christmas tree in high schools.

To decorate a school office for the holiday, you must adhere to certain rules:

Place the Christmas tree in the corner of the room, apply a decorative pattern or composition to the walls or windows.
Together with the children, prepare a thematic wall newspaper or poster.
Decorate windows, doors, ceiling, curtains and board.

When designing a school office, consider its purpose. Do not block important areas of the classroom that are used in the learning process. Try to create a composition in the same color scheme.

In the year of the Metal Ox, traditional white and silver, as well as red, blue and green shades, will be in fashion. Don't forget about souvenirs and figurines of the symbol of the year - they can also be used in holiday decor.

Window decor in the classroom for the New Year of the Tiger 2022

It is impossible to fully decorate a classroom for the New Year without window decoration. Glass must be decorated with taste and special care, because all elements will be visible from the outside and inside.

Vytynanka. The most traditional and win-win option for window design. They are made from paper. You can cut out an animal (symbol of the year), snowflakes, sleighs, Santa Claus, snowy city, etc.
A spruce branch with toys. You can take an artificial foot or a natural one. Decorate with toys and snowflakes. It is better to hang the branch on the eaves.
Painting with chalk markers and paints. On the windows you can depict real pictures (winter forest, village, spruce), draw Santa Claus, snowmen and much more.

Using paints, you can make a semblance of snowfall on glass by spraying snow-white drops over the entire surface.

Some schools prohibit obstructing windows. In this case, they resort to decorating curtains and blinds. For these purposes, rain, light paper figures, and snowflakes are used.

We decorate the Christmas tree

The forest beauty is one of the main attributes of the New Year holiday. Christmas trees are decorated on the streets and in residential premises, in educational institutions and in the workplace. As the main symbol of the coming year, it also takes its place of honor in the school classroom.

When choosing a Christmas tree, you should consider some nuances. In the foyer, the tree can be large and take up quite a lot of space. However, in the classroom its size should be average so as not to interfere with the learning process.

You also need to pay attention to the choice of jewelry. Do not use any glass products that could injure children. Toys and souvenirs made from more durable materials are best suited.

Professional designers recommend giving preference to a medium-sized artificial Christmas tree. It can be installed on the teacher’s desk or in one of the free corners of the office.

Choose paper garlands and decorative figures made from papier-mâché or thread. Coins and animal figurines made from salt dough, sweets in shiny wrappers, cookies or decorative compositions made of fabric are suitable.

Advent calendar

Children can make a calendar that will show the time remaining until the New Year themselves under the guidance of a teacher. Each calendar element contains a task for the day. Having completed this task, children become closer to the cherished date.

It is desirable that the calendar initially contain as many days as there are children in the class. Then each student will be able to open the cell once and announce the new task to his friends.

The calendar can be a garland of Christmas boots, a wall-mounted tree with peel-off elements, a panel with cells, etc.

Fairy lights

The easiest way to decorate a school classroom is with paper garlands, fringe or glitter. Elements of pendants can have a traditional thematic shape - stars, flags and lanterns, figures of Santa Claus or Snowman.

In addition to the traditional plot, you can include details of various shapes in the design. Garlands in the form of circles, triangles and snowflakes are easy to make with your own hands together with students of any age, even elementary school. They are suitable for the Christmas tree and ceiling, windows and chalkboard.

Hanging garlands will look great on walls and near chalkboards, over curtains or on the front door. Any decorative items made of paper, cardboard or fabric are suitable for decorating a school office. Bright ribbons of different colors will be an excellent material for needlework. Small soft toys are suitable as additional elements.

Decorating the doors

The door to the office greets schoolchildren every day; decorating can begin with it. The easiest option for a white door is to make a snowman. A carrot for the nose is cut out of orange paper, and eyes and coal buttons are cut out of black paper. Snowman Olaf from the cartoon "Frozen" is a popular New Year's character. You can use his recognizable smile or make a regular snowman.

You can hang fir wreaths on the door, add colored mugs-garlands and silhouettes of candy canes.

You shouldn’t hang a real garland on the door, but you can make “light bulbs” from colored paper.

The door to the classroom can become the entrance to a gingerbread house, you just need to add “drips” of sweet white snow, cut out of paper, and multi-colored dragee candies. The candy wrapper will be crepe (crumpled) paper; it is soft and pliable. The gingerbread man himself can greet children warmly.

Original and simple design ideas

Colorful posters and wall newspapers look very nice. Decorate your front door or side wall in your office with them. There are many options for making and decorating wall newspapers, so you can choose the most suitable one in accordance with the age of the children and the specifics of the class.

Use thematic applications, drawings and pictures depicting New Year's paraphernalia and symbols of the year. Beautifully designed photographs of students and teachers will also work. Be sure to leave space in the newspaper for a congratulatory inscription with wishes for the coming year.

All students must participate in the design of the school office. This exciting activity will not only fill the room with the spirit of the upcoming holiday, but will also unite the team. Invite the children to independently invent and make decorative souvenirs and toys, which can then be used to prepare the class for the New Year.

Entrance door

The design of the office should begin with the doors. The entrance to the room is usually decorated with a Christmas wreath, but in addition you can also use other decorative elements. The wreath can be made from pine cones, fir branches or paper.

An excellent solution would be a large sticker with a picture of a Christmas tree or Santa Claus, a poster with a thematic picture or a calendar. A Christmas tree made of foil or corrugated paper framed with snowflakes will look no less interesting. You can attach the volumetric composition using double-sided tape.

Blackboard

A classroom is a work space in which the main place is occupied by the blackboard. It is constantly used, so it should always remain free. When preparing, you should take this feature into account and choose decorations that will not distract children from the educational process.

Rules for decorating a school board:

crafts should not occupy more than 1/3 of the total surface;
elements must be firmly fixed;
details should be bright, not too small.

The most suitable way to decorate a holiday board is with vertical garlands. They can be made from cotton wool or paper. The parts are strung on a strong thread and secured to the top of the frame.

Other types of paper crafts are also suitable - snowflakes and ring garlands. A Christmas wreath would look great. The New Year's composition may include a wall newspaper or a holiday poster. For decoration, you can also prepare traditional lanterns or rain.

Walls

The largest surfaces that are not occupied in the educational process are windows, walls and ceilings. They can be decorated in a New Year's theme with light designs and compositions. The main condition is that they should not be too bulky or heavy to ensure the safety of children in the classroom.

Hanging decorations, snowflakes and garlands can be made from cotton wool, fabric, colored threads and ribbons. You can place a decorative Christmas tree, poster or newspaper on the wall. Stylists offer interesting ideas for wall decoration - three-dimensional figures and holiday symbols.

The attachment to the wall should be strong, but easy to remove if necessary. Scotch tape or PVA glue are suitable for this purpose. If there are educational tables or maps on the walls, they are decorated in the same way as the board - with light decor, occupying no more than a third of the surface.

Window

The quickest way to transform cool windows is to decorate them with snowflakes cut out of white paper. Patterns can be different as desired. You can use ready-made templates and diagrams, which you just need to attach to the sheet and cut out the appropriate places with scissors.

Decorative hard soap is used to attach paper snowflakes. Prepare a soap solution with water and apply it to the surface of the glass. After the holiday, you can easily remove the snowflakes and wash the windows.

Decorate the window sills with light decorative compositions made of cotton wool or paper. Plastic and other flammable materials are not suitable. To decorate the frames, use artificial snow and New Year's rains.

Desks and tables

The teacher's table and desks can also be decorated for the holiday. However, you should not occupy a large part of the working surface, especially with small parts. Limit yourself to edging - rain or a snowflake glued to the top of the table.

Depending on the total area, you can also place several other thematic images on the desk. The teacher's desk will be decorated with a decorative Christmas tree made of cardboard or felt. A composition or bouquet of pine branches will look original.

The side of the table can be decorated with a garland. In the center of the table, place a Christmas tree decorated with souvenir figurines of the symbol of the year - the Metal Bull.

A little about security

When decorating a school, you should not forget about the most important thing: child safety. After all, the main thing is not how to decorate the classroom, but how not to harm the children. If you use paints, then you should not get carried away more than using regular gouache. Stained glass paints must be from a trusted company, without unnecessary odors.

Each attached bead, as well as the decor made from the film, must hold well so that younger students do not slip on it all. Adults or children should hang New Year's decorations for school, especially on high walls and ceilings, under supervision, because any awkward movement can lead to injury.

Examples of holiday crafts

All decorations for the school classroom are simple and easy to make with your own hands. To do this, just prepare a set of cardboard and paper, scissors, pencils and other craft tools. Invite students to choose their own decorations to make for windows, doors, chalkboards, or walls.

Paper lanterns

Original souvenirs that are suitable both for decorating a Christmas tree and for creating a festive interior. Lanterns can be taken both as parts for a garland and as independent decorations.

Light airy toys can be made of any geometric shape. Round, diamond-shaped, triangular or square lanterns of different sizes and colors will look great. It all depends on your imagination and desire. Don’t forget to put a piece of your soul into the craft, and the multi-colored lights will shine with real magical New Year’s light.

Necessary tools and materials:

Colored paper - several sheets.
Scissors, pencil, ruler.
Scotch.
Lace or thick thread.
Awl, thick needle, glue.

Step by step work plan:

Measure a distance of 7-10 mm from the rectangular sheet, draw an even line along the entire length, and cut with scissors. Set the resulting strip aside, and fold the remaining part of the sheet in two in the middle (colored side inward).
Step back 2 cm from the edge and draw a straight line parallel to the edge. Make small cuts. You should get a longitudinal accordion or fringe up to the fold line, marked with a pencil.
Unfold the prepared rectangle, then fold it in the middle of the fold on the front side.
Roll the resulting shape into a tube and secure the top and bottom edges with tape. At the top, attach a handle made from the first strip cut from a sheet of paper. It can be replaced with lace or colored ribbon. Pass the cord through the hole made with an awl or large gypsy needle. If desired, you can prepare the bases for flashlights of any size.

Ready-made crafts can be supplemented with sparkles or beads by gluing them with transparent varnish or glue. Look at simple patterns and templates - with their help you can make other options for lanterns. Choose jewelry to suit every taste.

Openwork toys

You can make original Christmas tree decorations from threads and thin ribbons. They can be used to decorate a Christmas tree or to decorate windows, ceilings or boards. A simple master class will help you make a souvenir of any shape.

Prepare threads or thin ribbons, Vaseline, PVA glue and several balloons. Inflate balloons of different sizes and grease their outer surface well with Vaseline. Dip the threads into glue and let them soak well.

Wrap the balls with the prepared material to leave as few empty spaces as possible. Leave the pieces to dry completely for 24 hours. Using a sharp needle, deflate the balloons inside the craft. Decorate the blanks to your taste.

Any small accessories are suitable for needlework: floss, beads, seed beads, buttons, pieces of felt, etc. To make a Snowman or any fairy-tale figurine, connect several balls with glue.

Plastic figures

Original crafts will be made from plastic disposable cups. They will make a three-dimensional figurine that can be mounted on the wall or placed on the floor in a free area of the classroom.

You will need:

Disposable white cups - 300-500 pieces.
Glue or stapler.
Colored paper, cardboard, tinsel.
Large beads, buttons, Christmas balls.

Making master class:

Connect the cups together so that you get two balls. For the base of the first circle, take 25 glasses, for the second, 17-18. Continue adding cups so that all subsequent rows form an even ball. Do not connect the balls at the bottom - this will give stability to the figure.
Using red or orange paper, make a cone - a nose, which will need to be attached to a smaller circle. Use sheets of other colors to make a hat or bucket for the Snowman. For the eyes, use Christmas tree decorations or large beads. Glue all decorative parts with glue and let them dry.
Mask the junction of the balls with a scarf. Glue large buttons along the body in increments of 3-5 cm.

A charming New Year's Snowman can easily turn into Father Frost or Snow Maiden if you add a few details. Add a cotton wool beard to Santa Claus. A charming crown framed with tinsel is perfect for the Snow Maiden. You can independently model a toy to suit every taste, decorating it with various available materials.

Wall Christmas trees

In small rooms, a decorative Christmas tree on the wall will be an excellent decoration. This method is also suitable for decorating a primary school classroom. A Christmas tree can be made in several ways: by drawing, creating a composition or applique from multi-colored fabrics, paper, plastic cups, etc.

The easiest way is to make a New Year's beauty out of paper.

A festive symbol made from pieces of colored felt will look original.

Repurpose a finished paper garland by folding it into the shape of a Christmas tree.

A craft made from pine branches will create a festive atmosphere. Be sure to make a strong frame from wooden planks or thick but flexible wire.

Take advantage of other original ideas for making a wall-mounted Christmas tree.

To prepare your school office for the holiday, it is not at all necessary to purchase expensive toys. The main rule of New Year's decor is that it should be bright and elegant, especially since this is not difficult to do. Use materials that you always find on hand. Take ideas from photos as a basis, or come up with your own special version.

New Year's ideas for school windows

Stickers in the same style

Few people have the patience to cut out complex designs on their own with a sharp knife. And there is no point in doing all this when the Chinese industry supplies such a variety of stickers. These pictures stick to windows without glue, come off without any consequences, you don’t even need to wipe them with a dry cloth.

Each sticker sheet has a size listed, so it's pretty easy to get an idea of what size each individual figure is. Measure all windows in width and height, think over a plan for placing stickers and purchase the required quantity.

Vertical paper garlands on threads

These are ready-made and very beautiful garlands of different colors. They don’t always have a New Year’s theme, but if you choose a combination of white, gold, silver or red-green garlands, it will turn out very elegant.

Small and large circles resemble flakes of coarse snow. The stars look even more spectacular. The threads are easily secured with tape to window frames, and all these decorations are suitable for those cases where the glass itself is not allowed to be sealed. Often such paper garlands are attached over curtains to curtain rod hooks.

“Snow” spraying using synthetic snow spray

To apply patterns, stencils and a can of Frost Spray are used. Try it on paper, then start decorating the windows. If you spray frost close, the temporary paint will adhere tightly (bright white flakes). If you spray from a distance, you will get translucent “clouds”.

You can use different stencils. In some you fill the voids, the background remains transparent. You can glue a paper snowflake with water, smooth it slightly with an absorbent napkin, and spray it with spray. After the “frost” has dried, carefully remove the snowflake. You will get a white fragment of glass with a transparent snowflake. Synthetic snow can be removed very easily with a dry cloth.

New Year's decoration of the school facade

Few people don’t like December, because the approaching holiday literally transforms the entire city - apartment buildings, shopping centers, hospitals, storefronts, schools. It's the latter that we'll talk about. To decorate the school facade for the New Year, you can use large tinsel, beads, and fabric garlands. Also, around the perimeter of the school yard, many will enjoy making stunning snowmen and dressing them up in a festive manner, for example, using tinsel as a scarf, and colored rain as a wig. It will be fun to put a bright shiny hat on top.

Interesting ideas

Snowflakes are always cut out small. Maximum - from a 20x20 square. Look how impressive giant snowflakes with a diameter of 50-60 cm look! Cut them out no longer than regular ones, the effect is amazing. You can use rolled paper for drawing; children over 10 years old can handle the task easily. If your class is planning a New Year's tea party, attach giant snowflakes to the board with magnets.

Balls of thread

Even such familiar Christmas tree decorations as balls can be unusual. From ordinary threads you can make wonderful toys that are completely empty inside.

For the balls you will need:

Balloon,
PVA glue,
Threads,
Ribbons, beads, cones.

To make such toys you need:

Soak the threads in glue and wrap them around a balloon inflated to the required size.
Let the glue dry, pierce the ball with a needle and take it out.
Decorate the craft with beads, cones and ribbons.
Carefully thread the ribbon through the frozen threads.

Decoration of other rooms

In addition to the classroom, you can also transform the entire educational institution. You can start with the foyer, where it is best to place a large and elegant Christmas tree, decorated with toys. In addition, they decorate with garlands, New Year's posters, tinsel, and balloons.

The walls of the room can be decorated with paper elements, as well as artificial snow. The figures of Father Frost, the Snow Maiden, and also the symbol of the coming year will look great.

In the corridors it is best to get by with a minimum of decorations, because children are constantly running around there. It is advisable to decorate the ceilings and walls with paper products, as well as posters and figures made of unbreakable material.

One of the main premises of the school is the assembly hall, where all official events in the life of the educational institution are held. In addition to the elegant Christmas tree, the decoration can be different:

• balloons on the walls; • paper crafts and garlands hung around the perimeter; • walls decorated with tinsel, posters and Christmas balls; • symbols of the year in the form of figures, etc. The transformation of the school can be varied, the main thing is to turn on your imagination and give free rein to your imagination.
