New Year's fairy tales about animals for children. Russian fairy tales about the new year and the new year

If it seems to you that knowledge of thematic New Year's fairy tales is limited to the Snow Queen and the story about Chuk and Gek, then you are mistaken. It is worth familiarizing yourself with the list below, and memories from childhood will flood like a snowball. For the New Year theme, I include not only stories about Santa Clauses, Snow Maidens and other characters that every kid knows. Tales of miracles that take place in winter, on the eve of one of the most beloved holidays, can also create a charming magical atmosphere. I will tell you about the imperishable children's classics and interesting novelties that can be a great Christmas present.

1. Of course, it is worth starting with Russian folk tales. I have kept a collection published in the late eighties, so the illustrations did not work out. Today, on sale you can see a huge number of collections in which there are such fairy tales as "Frost", "Frost - Blue Nose", "By Pike", "Fox Sister and Gray Wolf", as well as the works of P. Bazhov "Silver hoof”, brothers Grimm “Grandmother Blizzard”, S. Marshak “Twelve months”.

2 . As without the fairy tales of Gianni Rodari! Chippolino and Gelsomino can wait for now, but in the "Amazing Book of Fairy Tales and Poems" you will find amazing stories that can only happen on the eve of the New Year. Here you are about cats saving the holiday, and about trading shops with gifts that have magical properties. I recommend planning reading an hour earlier than usual, because the child will ask for more and more. By the way, it was in this book that I found New Year's poems that children will tell Santa Claus at matinees. There are many in the book! Gianni Rodari has a few more New Year's stories: "Planet of Christmas Trees", "Journey of the Blue Arrow".

3 . The writer Elena Rakitina was a discovery for me not so long ago. Unlike some newfangled authors, her style is so simple and easy to understand that children listen to fairy tales without stopping. "The Adventures of New Year's Toys", I think, will not be an exception. In the reviews left by users, whose opinions often coincide with mine, it is written that the stories are easy to remember and captivating. The publication is intended for children of primary school age.

4 . Hagen Veal's Christmas of the Gnomes is so beautifully designed that I would like to add it to my collection of children's literature. A story about pranksters-gnomes who celebrate Christmas for a month, give each other unusual gifts and play pranks recklessly. A 5-7 year old should love this book.

5 . I can't help mentioning one of my favorite childhood stories written by Finnish writer Tove Jansson. In the Magical Winter edition, the author tells an amazing story about the cute Moomin trolls. The protagonist and his girlfriend Myu, after dangerous adventures and amazing meetings, arranged a grandiose holiday in the forest. A child will definitely like the adventures of fairy-tale characters!

6 . Children's fairy tales G.Kh. Andersen has long been a classic, but I think some of them are too sad. For example, “The Match Girl”, “The Story of the Year” and “The Snowman”, despite the New Year theme, I would not read to preschool children. Too tragic ending. But the fairy tale “Yolka” (I also saw the translation version of “Yolochka”) is excellent and has a happy ending.

7 . Funny adventures of Uncle Fyodor, Sharik and Matroskin are liked by both adults and children. In the collection "Winter in Prostokvashino" by E. Uspensky there is also a story about how the heroes celebrated the New Year.

8. The story about two boys, familiar to everyone since childhood, written by A. Gaidar, is still relevant today. "Chuk and Gek" is a great family tale with instructive notes that ends with a happy New Year celebration.

9. The book “The Christmas Miracle” was recently published. Stories of Russian Writers”, which contains the works of N. Leskov, F. Dostoevsky, A. Kuprin, A. Chekhov and other geniuses of Russian literature. This quality hardcover edition makes a great gift for a child over 12 who loves to read. There are classic fairy tales with a merry ending, as well as Christmas ones. Great purchase for home collection.

10. And, of course, the stories of Charles Dickens, the founder of Christmas and New Year's books. These pieces are suitable for older children. Good and Evil are intertwined in amazing stories, they are filled with mystical characters. At the end of each story, an epic denouement awaits us, in which Good will surely win.

Novelties of the book market

Among the expected novelties of children's literature, there are also many books dedicated to our favorite holiday. How are publishing houses ready to please us and our kids?

Snegiryok-mailer

Once upon a time there was a girl, her name was Marusya. A good and sweet girl was Marusya. She helped her mother, cleaned up her toys, did not quarrel with her older brother. And every year before the New Year, Marusya wrote a letter to Santa Claus and asked him to bring her gifts.

So it seems that year: Marusya, it was, was going to write

Dear friends, readers, guests, I congratulate you on the coming New Year! I wish you all more health, less sorrows, a house so that the cup is full and that magic and a fairy tale do not bypass you!

As a gift from me to you is such a New Year's fairy tale with Sonya's drawing - it is simple, the plot is unoriginal, but it seems to me that the fairy tale came out very cute and creates a festive mood.

Gift for animals

It was getting dark, the first ones were lit in the sky. All the forest inhabitants hid in their houses: minks, hollows, nests and lairs, only a few animals gathered in a clearing near a fluffy spreading Christmas tree, covered with snow, like a warm blanket. There were the hare Lapa, his best friend the hedgehog Kurnosik, the twin squirrels Galochka and Tamarochka, the deer Oleshka and Lanyushka, and the owlet Syova, who gave a speech to his friends. They listened to him carefully.

Here's my New Year's fairy tale was born about a monkey, a symbol of the coming year. I invite you to write New Year fairy tales for the project.

Santa Claus and monkey

Three days before the New Year, just when it was necessary to wrap and put gifts in a bag, an unforeseen incident happened. The Snow Maiden got sick. For the first time in my life I got sick.

And this is how it was. The day before, they decorated a Christmas tree near the tower of Santa Claus. Bunnies, squirrels, forest birds hung decorations that the Snow Maiden took out of the house in boxes.

Dear friends! There are only two weeks left until the most magical holiday, the New Year. I wanted to not just write another New Year's fairy tale for you, but to make a real New Year's gift. The wonderful children's artist Ekaterina Kolesnikova agreed to help me with this.

We have made a small New Year e-book with illustrations for you and your children. The book is intended for children from 2.5 years old. Older children can read the book on their own. The main character of the book, of course, is a sheep!

Dear readers! Congratulations on your first day of winter! The New Year is already on its way, and it is even possible to announce the official start of preparations for the holidays! We with a wonderful children's artist Ekaterina Kolesnikova ([email protected], Instagram profile: kolesnikova_ekaterina) decided to please you with the first New Year's fairy tale in honor of the beginning of winter. I just can’t move away from the topic of Baba Yaga after the last issue of our magazine (one of these days I’ll show what kind of Yozhka Sonya and I made), so I also got a fairy tale Yaginaya. 🙂

At the edge of the forest, in a small hut ... Baba Yaga Bone Leg lived on chicken legs. She was an old woman, in general, by nature not evil, just a little grouchy.

The New Year came at twelve o'clock, and at that time I was always already asleep. It's been so many New Years! And I haven't seen one. Both mother and aunt Vera met him, and I slept. I always fell asleep before the New Year. And I woke up in the morning, and my mother gave me gifts and said: “Well, the New Year!” But I knew that...

Once upon a time, - my grandfather lived with another wife. The grandfather had a daughter, and the woman had a daughter. Everyone knows how to live for a stepmother: if you turn over - a bit and if you don't trust - a bit. And whatever your own daughter does, they pat her on the head for everything: clever. The stepdaughter watered and fed the cattle, carried firewood and water to the hut, heated the stove, ...

Once upon a time there was an old Frost Blue Nose, and he had a young son - Frost Red Nose. Well, the young Frost Red Nose loved to boast! Only, it happened, and repeats: “Father is already old, he does his job poorly. And here I am - young and strong. As soon as I get down to business, I will immediately freeze everything around. Once he sees...

One day, all the inhabitants of the fairy forest quarreled greatly and decided never to communicate with each other again. No one remembered exactly how the conflict began, but everyone was very stubborn and proud. The accumulated grievances did not allow them to take the first step, and the animals were bored in solitude. But still, this is a fairy tale about the New Year, so let's not talk about the bad.
The holidays were approaching, the forest dwellers remembered last year's merry New Year's Eve and thought about how to celebrate such an important event this year. After all, no one was going to reconcile. As a result, everyone decided to celebrate the New Year on their own.

Closer to the 31st, the first difficulties began. The squirrel decorated the Christmas tree with cones and nuts, but could not think of anything with the lighting. “Nothing, it’s also very beautiful,” she thought, and became sad.
Bunny had another problem - he found a beautiful garland and already imagined festive New Year's lights, but he just couldn’t get to the Christmas tree, because he was too short.
The fox prepared a lot of festive dishes, decorated a small but neat pine tree and was about to celebrate, when she suddenly remembered that she couldn’t sing at all. New Year without songs did not fit in her head, and this was the main reason for frustration.
The wolf did not understand aesthetics, and even more so did not know how to cook. The absence of a festive mood, food and a Christmas tree made him gloomy and angry. And the Little Bear, having realistically assessed the situation, decided that sleeping through the New Year was a pretty decent idea.
And a similar situation happened in every house of the fairy forest. The new year was sad and boring. This is where our fairy tale would have ended, if not for the New Year's Magic.

A fairy tale about the New Year for children: why there is strength in unity

The animals seem to have come to terms with their situation and did not expect anything good and interesting. But on New Year's Eve, they wanted to feel the festive magic. Everyone remembered how beautiful and wonderful it was last year to have fun together near the largest Christmas tree in the forest. For some reason, they decided that the New Year's magic was connected with this place and hurried there.
Quite a bit of time passed, and the whole forest company gathered near a large fluffy spruce. Seeing each other, they wanted to talk, ask about business, but remembered the quarrel. The animals suddenly became very ashamed. How can you be so stubborn and proud? How can you hold so much resentment in yourself? They understood each other without words and embraced tightly. The world no longer seemed so dull, but without New Year's lights, songs and fun, it was very sad.

“How stupid we were. After all, we ruined our own holiday. There is very little time left for the New Year, we won’t have time to really prepare,” the animals cried. At that moment, it seemed that no one could change the situation.
"Stop slacking off!" Suddenly, a loud, hoarse voice rang out. It was Little Bear, who was awakened by a noise near a large spruce. “We came together, and this is the main thing, because strength is in unity. Let's quickly decorate the Christmas tree as best we can, bring our own food and sing songs. Let the holiday not be so beautiful, but still we can make it fun. Is not it?" he continued.
The animals agreed, smiled and ran home. This time for toys, candies, nuts and garlands. No one else was sad, everyone was in a hurry to be in time for the New Year.

What was their surprise when they returned and saw a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, Christmas lights, a snowman, multi-colored light bulbs on other trees and a lot of sweets on the table, which appeared as suddenly as everything else. New Year's Magic came to the animals and gave them a real holiday, which they deserved. After all, they understood the main thing! Remember the moral of this fairy tale about the New Year - do not accumulate your grievances, learn to forgive others and do not be afraid to take the first step. Only together with friends can you find happiness and meet magic.
