We adults are always looking forward to the New Year. This holiday gives everyone a little miracle, which is so lacking in everyday life. Adults love the New Year, and children love it doubly. If your family has small children, then you should think in advance about how to spend the holiday, so as not to disappoint the little family members with New Year's miracles and not offend them with your inattention.
Instructions
Step 1
First, decide where you will celebrate the new year and what kind of company. It is sometimes inappropriate to visit with children. And remember that children get tired quickly during the holidays and may be asked to sleep soon after midnight. If you yourself are going to invite friends, come up with children's entertainment, because in the company of adults, children can get bored. If your children are younger preschool age, then think about whether it is better to celebrate the new year in the family circle, arranging a real holiday for your "flowers of life".
Step 2
What will create a festive atmosphere? Carnival costumes, of course. Surely your children have them, and for mom and dad, animal masks or shiny wigs are quite suitable. Even if you don't have suits on hand, it doesn't matter. The holiday depends on the mood, and children always react with delight to home celebrations. Don't limit kids to fun and play. Don't scold them for making too much noise. The New Year should give them as many pleasant experiences as possible.
Step 3
If you want to create an atmosphere of real miracles for children, then you can hire Santa Claus and Snegurochka, or you can dress up your dad in a Santa Claus costume - this option is more economical, but no less fun. Before you sit down at the festive table, arrange funny contests and games that will amuse both the child and you.
Step 4
Sitting down at the New Year's table, keep an eye on the children's nutrition - an abundance of snacks, children's champagne and sweets can turn into the most unpleasant consequences. It is better not to focus the attention of children on the TV, you can turn on New Year's programs as background music. It is very fun to say various congratulations and toasts at the New Year's table. Start by yourself, and then have the children congratulate you. Talk about how you want the new year to be, what you dream about and what you want to make a reality. Let the children make their plans. You can shoot congratulations and toasts on camera, they will become a good memory for your family.
Step 5
Children should not be forced to sleep immediately after the chime. May the only magical night of the year be a long one for them. If the children are not too tired, then you can go on a family walk. What could be more fun than roller coaster rides on New Year's Eve? Play catch-up, snowballs with the children. The frosty air and outdoor games will only benefit children - when they come home, they will probably go to bed tired and happy. If your kids are still too young to go for walks after midnight, then arrange a little fun walk in the evening.
Step 6
Do not forget about the most important attributes of the new year - New Year's gifts. For children, this is perhaps the most important thing! Gifts should be placed under the tree for children to find on the morning of January 1st. Don't give children clothes or other practical gifts for the New Year. The best gift from Santa Claus is a large and beautiful toy.
