With the approach of the New Year holidays, many begin to look for gifts for relatives and friends. This fate will not pass and parental committees of kindergartens. Moreover, gifts will need to be chosen not only for all children, but for educators and the head, and grabbing the first one that comes to hand is not the best option. It is worth considering the budget in advance and deciding what to give. So, which gift for kindergarten for the New Year is better to choose? Such that both children and adults are satisfied.
Basic rules for choosing gifts
First of all, you need to set a budget and start from the collected amount. Do not forget also that you want to please the children, not the teachers. Therefore, most of the funds should be spent on them, and not on New Year's gifts for kindergarten teachers.
When buying gifts, be guided by the tastes of the kids, not your own. A gift for the New Year to children in kindergarten should be, first of all, interesting for them. What you likeadults, as a rule, do not please the child.
Think about giving gifts. Invite animators, Santa Claus, or change into Christmas costumes of fairy-tale characters yourself. Children most of all from the holidays are waiting for this particular one because of the magical feeling of a fairy tale. Don't disappoint kids. A bright and colorful performance will be remembered better than the most expensive gift for kindergarten for the New Year.
Dream gift: to be or not to be
Some of the parents may want to give the child what he asked for a long time, and not buy any "nonsense". This is wonderful, but does not fit into the overall picture: the holiday is arranged for all the kids, and they will be offended if their gifts are worse or less. Therefore, it is better to save the "dream" for home celebrations.
Is it worth giving different things
A surprise taken out of Santa Claus's bag can upset more than please if it is not the same as Vasya's or Katya's, and cause tears and quarrels. Because your “look how beautiful” is not at all the same as someone else’s, which seems better. It is better to buy the same gifts with slight differences or divide them into categories "for boys" and "for girls". But in general they should be similar.
What to give the little ones
Kindergarten gift ideas for Christmas don't leave much room for imagination, especially when it comes to nursery school. What can please the little ones? Of course, toys. But keep in mind that not everyone will fit.
Pay attention towaterproof books and tear-resistant books. They are bright, with colorful designs and well-known characters. Plus, they're hard to mess up.
What New Year's gift for children in kindergarten (nursery group) can you still choose? Kids will love soft talking toys, various pyramids, large cubes or puzzle cubes. A good option as gifts would be musical toys. For example, various pipes and xylophones. Most kids love this kind of thing and can blow or tap the keys with rapture for a long time.
Pay attention to the quality of toys, buy them from reliable suppliers. Avoid toys with small parts and sharp edges.
What to give kids from the middle group
Choosing a gift for kindergarten for the New Year for 4-5 year olds is a little easier. At this age, children begin to explore the world and are interested in literally everything.
Little fidgets will appreciate "smart" gifts - toys that can be disassembled, assembled, laid out, turned on and off. In addition, it will be useful: fine motor skills will develop. As an example: puzzles with a small amount of details, Lego constructors.
In addition, gifts can be both "boyish" and "girlish". Based on this, what to give to kindergarten for the New Year? Girls will be delighted with beautiful dolls, and boys - cars. You can give a flying fairy, and then a walking minion to the boys. Or choose your favorite cartoon characters: ponies, robots, superheroes (spiderman,Batman and others).
Always appropriate and a win-win option - coloring pages and a set of colored pencils or felt-tip pens.
Gifts for Prep
A New Year's gift to kindergarten for preschool kids can be both entertaining and rewarding. The latter include books, kits for creativity. If you give books, choose the same ones, with large print and bright illustrations. These can be children's encyclopedias, where they talk about animals or city-countries in a simple and intelligible language. Collections of fairy tales from different peoples of the world will be a good gift.
As a gift, do-it-yourself engravings, kits for modeling or unusual plasticine are suitable. You can purchase sets of ceramic dishes (a plate and a cup), which you will need to paint yourself with paints.
Entertainment gifts are, of course, different types of toys. Girls will be delighted with dolls, a set of dishes or a doctor, boys - repair tools, transformers. Instead of traditional packages, gifts can be put in bright backpacks in the form of animals.
Sweet gifts: to give or not to give
Sweets are a traditional New Year's gift, and not only in kindergarten. However, some parents are categorically opposed, citing diathesis and the dangers of sugar for he alth. So is it worth buying or not? If you purchase kilogram sets, then, of course, there will be no benefit. However, nowmany confectionery factories produce small packages of New Year's goodies already in bright thematic design. Any child will be delighted with such a set of "Kinders" or "Barney Bears" more than a book. Therefore, it makes sense to present a sweet gift for the New Year to children in kindergarten after all. But limit yourself to a small size, and attach a toy or something else to it (a book, a coloring book, a puzzle).
Congratulate teachers
Each group and kindergarten has its own traditions. But, as a rule, it is customary to congratulate educators, assistant educators, nannies and a music worker on the upcoming holidays. Then a logical question arises about what gifts to give for the New Year to kindergarten teachers. Many may offer to present the money in an envelope. But it is better to immediately reject such an option: firstly, it is unethical and can offend the teacher, and secondly, you can’t put a little - “uncomfortable”, a lot too. And not all parents will agree to donate money for a “salary increase.”
Babysitters can be presented simply with a box of chocolates. Educators - a chocolate set and a good package of tea or coffee. As a gift, a tea pair with the symbols of the coming year, an original set of spices, a bottle of decent champagne or liquor in a gift box, and inexpensive fleece blankets are well received. What else can you give kindergarten teachers for the New Year?
In anticipationholidays, many will be delighted with the so-called grocery basket, especially if it is beautifully designed. To do this, you will need a small plastic basket, a nice towel, wrapping film and a bow for decoration. The basket is filled to your taste, as a rule, it is a bottle of champagne or wine, a box of chocolates, a jar of caviar or pineapple.
Now it has become popular to give gift cards. It's fast and convenient: you don't need to figure out what to buy and pack, and the teacher will go for a certificate and get what he wants. Cards can be either perfumery and cosmetic chains (Letoile, Rive Gauche) or supermarkets like O'Key.
In addition to edible presents and certificates, you can choose an original gift for kindergarten for the New Year. Purely symbolic, but memorable and unusual. For example, buy sets of Christmas balls “paint it yourself” in advance and give each child a painting. Or order a flip calendar with photos of children for each month of the year in the printing house.
Choosing a gift for the manager
If it’s more or less clear with presents for educators, then what gift to choose for the head of the kindergarten for the New Year? The budget of the parent committee is not rubber, and no one wants to donate extra money.
You can take the path of least resistance and give the same grocery basket. Or instead of it, fruit (champagne, tangerines, apples, a sprig of grapes and pineapple). Such a gift neverwould be redundant.
If you do not want to give fruit products, you can buy a quality pen and organizer, a good stationery set for your office desk or a houseplant in a pot.
