New Year's holidays are a fabulous time not only for children, but also for their parents. After all, this is a great opportunity to remember your childhood, have fun from the heart, and also get close to children and become real friends for them.

Indeed, without your help, the winter holidays for children will be monotonous and boring: they slept, ate, took a walk, watched cartoons, played on the computer. Therefore, in order for the children to spend this time with joy and benefit, you need to come up with an entertainment program for them in advance.

How to keep the children busy during the winter holidays?

Take your child to the Christmas tree

Even if you have already attended a matinee in kindergarten or school - it doesn't matter! You can always go with your child to the Christmas tree in the park or to any institution that conducts festive programs.

Believe me, such an event will bring a lot of pleasure to everyone! Children's eyes will shine with joy, and parents, as in childhood, will be happy to dance in circles and shout: "Christmas tree, light up!" By the way, bring your nephews, godchildren or friends with children there - it will be even more fun.

You can go sledging up the hill or play snowballs. Or go to the forest and learn to ski.

All for a walk

In the modern world, parents are rarely able to actively spend time on the street with their children. So put everything aside and have fun with the whole family. You can go sledging up the hill or play snowballs. Or go to the forest and learn to ski.

Or you can mold a snowman and a girlfriend for him, or build an ice fortress. Or build feeders with your dad and hang them on the trees, not forgetting to put food for the birds there.

If the weather is not happy, then go all together to the pool or to the indoor skating rink to skate. Active rest will give you positive emotions and energy boost for a long time.

Home concert

Arrange a real home concert or play and invite friends with children to it. To do this, prepare in advance: come up with a script, collect the necessary props, set up decorations and do not forget about incentive prizes for children. Of course, it is not necessary to adhere to the program, with children there is always a place for impromptu.

Let the little actors dance, sing, recite rhymes, and you loudly applaud and support them! You can also invite Santa Claus and Snegurochka to visit, let them give gifts to the little ones.

And don't forget to film everything with your camcorder!

Cultural program for children

The choice of entertainment programs for children during the holidays is very large. New Year's performances are held in all cities, theaters are invited to performances, and new cartoons are shown in cinemas. Children will get a lot of impressions if they visit with their parents at least one of these events.

You can also arrange a home movie show and watch a New Year's movie or cartoon with the whole family. Don't forget to stock up on fruits, juices and popcorn!

And you can also go with your children on some interesting excursion, you can even go to another city. For example, why not go to visit Grandfather Frost in Veliky Ustyug? Walk through the rooms of the fairytale tower, visit the smithy, visit the Fashion House, where they sew clothes for the magical grandfather … Believe me, your kid will remember such a trip for a long time!

Home gatherings with benefit

If you give your children time, they will be happy at home. What can you think of to make them interesting?

Invite your neighbors and play monopoly, bingo, dominoes together.

For example, you can make Christmas decorations, garlands, flags, snowflakes and other festive decorations for your home with your own hands. Moreover, it is quite possible to do this after the New Year. You can make gifts and postcards for friends and relatives with your own hands: the benefit of the holidays is a lot, there will be enough time to bestow everyone. Such activities allow children to develop creatively and bring the whole family closer.

Another idea for spending time together is board games. Invite your neighbors and play monopoly, bingo, dominoes together. And to make it even more fun, you can have a tea party after the games.

Prepare something tasty

Cooking with the whole family is incredibly fun! Buy Christmas-themed cookie cutters in advance and bake a treat. Kids will be happy to cut Christmas trees and balls from dough and decorate them. And after everything is ready, arrange a festive tea party with cookies.

So, during the New Year holidays, you can and should get distracted from work and devote yourself entirely to your family. Do not hesitate to fall into childhood and have fun with your little ones, sincerely rejoice and be surprised at gifts and new events. This is the only way you can earn their trust and become true friends!
