Choosing the right New Year's gift for a child is not easy, but more often it is even more difficult to find a surprise for the school tree. It is necessary to please not only all children, but also their parents, while keeping within a certain budget. Often, in heated debates, all the proposed options are swept aside. And then it's time for new ideas.
New Year's gifts for schoolchildren: where to start choosing?
Before you start discussing ideas for New Year's gifts for schoolchildren, it is worth agreeing on a budget. Everyone has their own ideas about the acceptable amount and, if they do not coincide, it is unrealistic to reach an agreement.
The second important question - should all gifts be the same or is it permissible to choose different options for girls and boys? Or maybe you can divide the gift into two parts: one "like everyone else", and the other like a group "by interests."
The third "stumbling block", as a rule, are "sweet" gifts. Modern children are often susceptible to various allergies, some also have weight problems. Is it worth it to “fight” for a bag of sweets, “as in our childhood,” if one of your child's classmates is forbidden to sweets?
When choosing a New Year's gift for a student, it is important not to forget that this is just the first "swallow" in a series of presents, and your child has many pleasant surprises ahead of him. A gift on a school tree should not strike him in the very heart, but only please, become a pleasant end to the holiday, therefore, perhaps you should not "break spears" seeking the best solution, but keep peaceful relations among parents and come to a reasonable compromise.
New Year's books
“A book is the best gift” is a time-tested truth. It is not so difficult to find a book for a child for the New Year. And it doesn't have to be good old tales. Now there are so many different coloring pages, books with stickers, New Year's books with ideas for all kinds of holiday crafts. The selection of books on "New Year" themes is just as wide. Here are poems and stories of Soviet or even pre-revolutionary writers, collected in colorful collections, and classic "New Year" literature - "The Snow Queen" by Andersen, "The Nutcracker" by Hoffmann, "Twelve Months" by Marshak, Dickens' Christmas stories - with illustrations for every taste, and recent novelties - "Christmas at Petson's House", "The Story of New Year's Toys" by Elena Rakitina, and Ana Shtoner's books about the adventures of Little Santa Claus. Books include children's calendars, among which are luxurious editions with magnificent pictures-illustrations of Russian fairy tales, there are calendars with poems by Russian classics, all kinds of calendars with adhesive and opening elements enjoy the sympathy of kids.
Board games
Do not think that the world of children was captured exclusively by computer games. And now there are a lot of wonderful "board games" for children of all ages. Lotto, dominoes, walkers and walkers, games that develop logical thinking and speech, train attention, games for two players and for the whole company. Such games as "Dobble", "Dixit", "Alias", "Monopoly" and "Erudite" are in great demand among children. Inexpensive, but funny "Fants" are quite suitable for the New Year's gift for the schoolchild. For older children, you can put magical "Potion Making", exciting "Evolution", cognitive games from the Pagedown studio in a bag with gifts.
Toys
One of the most obvious New Year gifts for a child is a toy. Here, the LEGO company is always ready to help the parent committee. In its assortment there are sets for boys and girls, more expensive and cheaper. Every year special New Year's sets from small to large are produced. But the world did not come together like a wedge on the famous cubes, there are other constructors, as well as a wide range of different bobbleheads and machines. You can also pay attention to "sports" toys. So, for example, a wide variety of snowballs, cubes for snow castles and even "snow" slingshots are very popular among modern boys and girls.
Creator's Kit
It may be worth remembering that the holidays are ahead and take a closer look at the creativity kits that will help children not to get bored during their holidays. Here you can find products for any age and wallet, choose an exciting activity to your liking. If you want to give children "the same", try to give sets for making soap and bath bombs, candles, plaster crafts. If they agree to different gifts, then girls can weave from beads, sew soft toys, lay out diamond mosaics, and boys can burn them out, collect various models, and cut them out with a jigsaw.
Cult walk
Why not give the children a New Year's Eve trip to the theater, circus, quest or paintball game with the whole class? Kids, of course, want gifts "here and now" and will not appreciate such a surprise, but older children can happily go to a fun performance together, watch a famous musical, an ice show or spend time looking for a mysterious treasure. A magical and unforgettable gift can be tickets to classic New Year's performances - the Nutcracker ballet or the Snow Maiden opera.
