Interesting Classroom Decoration Ideas for New Year 2025

New Year is a bright event. Everyone wants the holiday to last as long as possible. This is especially important for preschoolers and primary school students: they still have a strong belief in miracles, fairy tales and the victory of good over evil. The sooner the anticipation of the magical New Year's Eve appears, the more interesting it is to wait for it.

Let's think about how to decorate the classroom for the New Year to give the children more joy, and at the same time involve them in the process of creating a New Year's interior. This develops imagination, thinking and promotes rapprochement with children.

How to transform walls?


In normal times, nothing should distract schoolchildren from studying, but on the eve of the New Year, standard settings change, giving way to a riot of fantasy and a game of imagination. Let's start decorating the classroom for the New Year by decorating the walls. There is a lot of space here, you can depict entire pictures with full-fledged plots!

Together with the children, we will make the classroom more comfortable: we will “warm” it with a fireplace. There are different options for making this decorative element. Method one: we invent a flat fireplace.

You will need:

  • whatman;
  • colored paper;
  • paints (markers, pencils);
  • scotch;
  • scissors;
  • simple pencil.

Draw a fireplace on a piece of Whatman paper (you can use a stencil downloaded from the World Wide Web). Involve your children in this: both first-graders who have not yet forgotten their kindergarten crafts and children in grades two through four will happily take part in this pre-New Year's entertainment. Paint the fireplace or cover it with colored paper. Hang our work on the wall. Beauty!

Method two. Let's make a fireplace in 3D format.

The materials are simple and accessible:

  • cardboard boxes (the usual ones in which we receive purchases and mail);
  • colored paper;
  • glue;
  • scissors;
  • double sided tape.

We cover the boxes with colored paper, make an original fireplace out of them using a template we found on the Internet, draw and cut out bright red flames. We place the fire in the fireplace, attach the structure to the chosen section of the wall near the floor, and hang socks and mittens around: Santa Claus can put gifts for the children in them. We put cotton "snowdrifts" nearby. A very modern and at the same time fabulous design option in a festive winter theme!

You can also place Christmas trees made from colored paper on the walls., each branch of which is a child's palm, outlined and cut out of colored paper or cardboard. A first-grader can easily and quickly cope with the task of tracing their own palm with a pencil. It is better, of course, if the trees are green - find more colored paper in a variety of shades of this life-affirming color.

This way you can decorate your classroom for the New Year without spending much money, and it's a very fun process. Parents can also trace their palms: small trees will then be neighbors with large ones. Hang rustling tinsel on the trees, securing it with tape.

Another idea is a Christmas tree garland. It is easy to hang such garlands on all the walls at different heights; you can create entire patterns from garlands.

Perhaps you would like to come up with a slightly more complex classroom decoration for the New Year. Take as a basis a scene from the fairy tale "Twelve Months". Print out from the Internet figures of January, February, March, April, May - in a word, all the months, draw a girl and beautiful snowdrops. The task, of course, is more difficult than Christmas trees from palms, but it will look cool and stylish.

Decorating a classroom for the New Year is not limited to decorating the walls. We need to use everything: now let's come up with a composition for the door.

Decorating the door


It would be very nice to hang a large figure of Father Frost or Santa Claus on the door.Together with the kids, make it from cardboard and cotton wool, adding other materials at your discretion:

  • rhinestones;
  • tinsel;
  • buttons;
  • colored yarn;
  • pieces of shiny fabric.

Lately, the fashion for everything Soviet has returned. Try making not the usual Santa in a red cap, but our Russian rosy-cheeked grandfather in a "long" fur coat and a blue hat. Children will love it!

You can place his favorite granddaughter next to Father Frost. We draw the Snow Maiden using stencils from the Internet. We use more white, blue, silver colors. You can donate some of your old beads or broken earrings to decorate the outfit of Father Frost's granddaughter.

A great idea is to make a Santa or Father Frost mailbox.. It needs to be made from a narrow box. As soon as the door to the office is opened, the children will immediately find themselves in a fairy tale. You can suggest that they write letters to their grandfather and throw them in the box.

Transforming windows


How else to decorate the classroom for the New Year? You need to pay attention to the windows. Traditionally, all windows are covered with white snowflakes for the holiday.The kids will be able to make these decorations themselves, using printouts from stencils.

If you wish, you can add Christmas trees to the snowflakes – blue, white or green. They are also easy to cut out of regular paper.

If you need unusual classroom decorations for the New Year, if you want to move away from stereotypes, then try taking some popular hero, cutting out his figure and creating a mini-scene with him on the window.

Why not, for example, use Harry Potter, beloved by children and adults, for these purposes? Let the young wizard find himself on New Year's Eve in a fairy-tale forest, near Baba Yaga's hut or in a large mysterious house.

You can construct any scenes:

  • silhouettes of houses with cats;
  • coniferous forest;
  • a figurine of Santa Claus on a sleigh.

We decorate the classroom for the New Year the way the children want.

You don't need expensive materials to create exclusive decor. If you and your children let their imaginations work, you can transform your office almost for free. Here's one idea: take an empty egg carton and cut out the cells.Each cell is a flower.

Cover the "flowers" with glittering paper, add some beads and rhinestones, attach them to a thread and hang them on the windows. Such a simple craft looks extremely stylish. Step-by-step instructions are easy to find online.

You can also involve graduates in decorating the classroom. For the kids, this is their last school year, so they will certainly respond to your request: they will want to leave something about themselves as a keepsake for future generations. Next year will come, and the decorations made by the eleventh-graders will make the first-graders' classroom elegant.

Paper garlands on the ceiling

The simplest version of a garland is made from rings of colored paper. The longer such a chain, the more interesting it looks. Beautiful garlands are made from paper balls.

You can be a little naughty: cut out small ghost figures from white paper and make a garland of them. Let unusual snow ghosts live in your office – no one else has such.

Christmas tree with wishes


There are many ideas and options for decorating a classroom for the New Year. But there is one essential detail that you can’t do without – a Christmas tree. This main heroine of the holiday will fit into any composition.

The tree can be easily made from corrugated paper and papers with wishes can be glued to it.You can also take a regular small artificial Christmas tree, decorate it with paper balls, each of which will have a wish or congratulation written on it.

If you want to make a treat for the kids and decorate the classroom for the holiday at the same time, make Christmas trees “growing” from cone-shaped candies. Place the candy on a flat base, stick a stick in, and glue a green cardboard crown to the stick. And write a wish on the crown. It’s both beautiful and delicious!

New Year is a holiday that brings joy to both children and their parents. We can say that for one night we all turn into children who believe in miracles. Therefore, we need to decorate the classroom with soul and pleasure, using any materials (for example, penofol - foamed polyethylene, any paper, sparkling buttons, napkins, tinsel - in a word, anything).

If you don't have enough ideas of your own, turn to Pinterest. In this network, young people actively exchange ideas, plans, pictures. Perhaps this will give you new thoughts.

Decorate your classroom with your children. May your joint work bring you joy and the result be magnificent!
