Allowing children to practice using their fingers and hands increases fine motor skills:

These skills are important for brushing teeth, getting dressed, and self-feeding.

What Can Preschoolers Learn By Being Creative?

NEW YEARS ACTIVITIES FOR KIds

ASKING STUDENTS TO BE CREATIVE AND MAKE PROJECTS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN PRACTICING COGNITIVE SKILLS. STUDENTS CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE:

• What can we use our noisemaker for?
• What else can we use to decorate our noisemakers?
• Describe the sound that the bells make?
• What fun party games can we play with our diy noise makers?

Why Is It Important For Kids To Be Creative?

Besides the fact that kids love arts and crafts projects, there are so many other reasons you should make your own New Year’s Eve noisemakers:

If you don’t have decorative tape, you can glue construction paper to the craft stick. Or you can create fun designs with glitter glue or colored hot glue. So many ways to customize this easy DIY project!

You could even paint all of the craft sticks with spray paint ahead of time to make things easier!

Cut a piece of curling ribbon approximately 8 inches long. String 3 bells on the curling ribbon with the bells all facing the same direction.

Wrap the bells around the popsicle stick. With the remaining curling ribbon, wrap around the bells in reverse order and tie ends together tightly to secure.

Cut a piece of garland to approximately 6 inches. Weave the garland around the bells and popsicle stick, tucking the end between two bells.

Add additional curling ribbon if desired. Use scissors to curl the ends of the ribbon.

Then have a blast with your brand new New Year’s Eve Noisemakers DIY as you ring in the new year! Happy New Year!
