Quick and easy New Year themed crafts
New Year celebrations aren't just for adults. Ring in the New Year with cute new year-themed crafts and music and movement activities as part of your preschool or family daycare curriculum.
Make new years hats out of cone paper drinking cups. Use crayons, stickers, confetti, paint, colored macaroni, glitter, yarn, or any other decorative scrap materials you may have on hand.
For music and movement, you can be creative and make your own noise makers by adding noise makers (beans, rice, etc) to coffee cans or boxes, or you can purchase them. Turn up the up-tempo music and let 'em go!
Confetti is always part of a good New Year celebration, but with small children it needs to happen in a very controlled environment or you end up with a big mess. With that in mind, kids like Confetti Collages. You can either make your own confetti or buy pre-made confetti. Using the confetti and any other new year-themed decorations, create a huge collage or let the children make individual colorful collages.
Happy New Year!
