Christmas is the most solemn and bright holiday for all Christians. It is not necessary to be a true believer in order to celebrate this wonderful holiday together with everyone. Introducing children to Christmas traditions is an integral part of their development. Seeing on the example of their relatives how people expect this holiday, the children themselves are looking forward to it, believing in miracles.

Traditionally, in anticipation of the holiday, children made Christmas drawings with their own hands. At this time, exhibitions of such works drawn by children's hands are organized everywhere in various children's centers.

Children's drawings on the theme "Christmas" will help to decorate your home, because everything that is made by oneself brings warmth and comfort to the home, filling it with joy and love, especially if these are children's hands. To captivate the children, adults must also make their own contribution to this activity. After all, the genuine interest of parents inspires the kids, and they are happy to fantasize on the chosen topic, knowing that their work will be appreciated.

What to suggest to draw a child?

What drawings can be offered for children to draw for Christmas? Many people like to depict a starry night and against its background houses with white smoke coming from pipes. Kids with the help of their parents will cope with the drawing of a flying angel, and older children can be invited to draw with its inhabitants - the Magi, baby Jesus, Joseph, Mary, oxen and sheep.

Children's Christmas drawings can be made using ordinary colored pencils, felt-tip pens, a simple pencil or paints (gouache, watercolor), depending on what the child is more drawn to and what he does best. Anything can serve as a canvas, but for the best effect, you need to take thick paper.

Christmas days are always filled with a sense of fairy tale and magic. Not only children, but also adults are waiting for this holiday. And how nice it is for parents to receive a handmade greeting card from children's hands. You can make a Christmas card with your child or on your own - it will certainly become a good gift not only for relatives, but also for friends and work colleagues.

How to draw a Christmas card?

Initially, it may seem that it is not so easy to do. However, if you dream up a little and make an effort, you can create a real masterpiece from an ordinary sheet of paper with pencils and paints. First you need to decide what size the postcard will be, what its design and composition will be. Most often, they take a simple landscape sheet, bend it in half - and the basis for the future postcard is ready. The front sheet is decorated with a pattern or crafts, and an ornament is also usually applied to the back. Inside, you can write a beautiful congratulation, paste in several decorated elements, or simply paint with drawings. Usually, angels, a decorated Christmas tree, or pictures from biblical stories are chosen for the Christmas theme. The first step is to sketch the drawing.

What to do?

How to draw a Christmas card step by step? As mentioned above, first we prepare the necessary material and the objects with which we will draw. The second step is a sketch of the drawing, which will be the main one. Let's say for the front side of the card we chose a decorated Christmas tree with gifts next to it. First, you will need to draw any Christmas cards with a pencil - this way we will avoid unnecessary spades or uneven edges (if, for example, we draw with paints right away). It is best to choose a pencil marked TM - that is, not very hard (so as not to leave furrows on the sheet), but not too soft (it will smear and stain the drawing). Do not press too hard on the stylus - if the line is wrong, it will be difficult to erase without leaving a trace. We draw the outline of the Christmas tree - three triangles of different sizes, under the bottom (largest) - a rectangle (stump). Near the stump we sketch several squares of different sizes. It is best to draw them not in a straight sequence, but a little randomly (with a slope, on top of each other), then the drawing will look much more interesting.

Stage two

So, the first and main step is made. Consider further how to draw a Christmas card in stages. Now we need to decorate each Christmas tree triangle by adding spruce paws to it. To do this, we draw small lines to the sides along the edges of the base, and sketch strokes around them. You can simply get by with rounded edges - draw a wavy line from the lower left corner of the triangle to the right corner. Repeat the same with the remaining triangles. Remember that we need to draw a Christmas card, which means we need to transfer the spirit of Christmas to it. Therefore, we decorate our Christmas tree with everything we can: round balls, cones, iridescent garlands, gingerbread houses, sweet candies, and most importantly, a beautiful star at the very top.

By the way

By the same example, as we started working with a Christmas card, you can understand how to draw a New Year's card. The theme of the New Year is the animals near the Christmas tree, children's round dances, Father Frost and the Snow Maiden hurrying to the children, colorful fireworks in the sky, funny snowmen on sleds and much more. Just like in our example, you must first decide: what do you want to see on the postcard? Maybe it will be a whole fairy-tale scene, or maybe a simple spruce branch, decorated with one or two balls.

You can use pencils, felt-tip pens, and paints - the choice is huge, and only your imagination can tell you how to draw a New Year's card. To make it look even more elegant, you can smear several sections with transparent glue and sprinkle finely chopped rain or special sequins on top of it.

Back to the theme of Christmas

To draw a Christmas card with your own hands means to fully use your own imagination. Having decorated the Christmas tree, we move on to gifts. Here you can use not only paints and pencils, but also an application. Cut out squares from bright paper and stick them on the ones drawn with a pencil. Draw or glue an elegant bow on top of each box - the gifts are ready. The next step is coloring. If the work is done with felt-tip pens, then you should only be careful not to step over the lines of the drawing. If paints or gouache are used, you should carefully monitor that where several colors touch, the paints dry well, otherwise they will simply blur. Of course, for the postcard you need to choose bright and cheerful colors. When it is completely painted, and then it dries well, inadvertently smeared lines can be painted on with felt-tip pens. It is impossible to draw contours even on a slightly dry drawing - the tip of the felt-tip pen can tear wet paper, and the drawn line simply blurs.

The final stage

So, we have learned how to draw a Christmas card. The front side is usually decorated a little more elegantly than the last sheet (from which, upon contact with the table, everything can simply crumble). On the paws of the Christmas tree, you can apply a snowball - strokes of white paint, simple toothpaste, or stick small lumps of cotton wool. It is worth adding glitter - as mentioned above, sprinkle rain and sparkles on the places smeared with glue.

You can also decorate the card with stars made of shiny paper or foil, because the star is the main symbol of the Christmas holiday. It is necessary to place a congratulatory text inside the postcard - it is better to write it by hand, and not paste a piece of paper printed on the printer with congratulations. The author's work must be original from beginning to end. And one more thing: it is worth remembering that Christmas stories are very diverse - you should not close yourself only on the Christmas tree. The ideal option would be to choose one of the biblical episodes - for example, the little Savior in the manger. However, such work will require more diligence and diligence, and you need to take on it with thorough preparation and tuning.

Postcard is ready

Drawing a Christmas card is not all. It still needs to be given properly. If you want to make a surprise, and not just give it to the addressee, it is better to put the card under the Christmas tree or right on the festive table.
