And the shining night...

And Snegurochka is a friend,

And her daughter, Snowflake.

N. Knushevitskaya

Fluffed feather beds

January is gray in the meadows,

And the snowdrifts, arching their backs,

They stretch in a lush ridge.

They ate in velvet capes,

We gathered for the winter ball.

Santa Claus has been with the snowstorm for a long time

I sent them an invitation.

And the pine cones shine in the sun,

Lights flash.

And they run, they run, skipping

New Year's Day!

In January, winter fully comes into its own. Frosts and cold create their own fairy tale from the patterns on the windows, blizzards and blizzards sing and swirl. The days are already getting longer. The sun, of course, has not yet had time to warm the earth, so in the cold the air becomes frosty. You can tell the children the proverb: “The sun is for summer, winter is for frost.” You can’t stand in one place for a long time: you want to run, move, to keep warm. There is another proverb: “The frost is not great, but it doesn’t tell you to stand.”

But at night you can admire the clear sky and stars sparkling like diamonds.

Tell the children about January.

January- second month of winter. January has 31 days. The name of the month comes from the name of the god Janus, who was worshiped by the ancient Romans. Janus was considered the god of the Sun and the beginning, entrances and exits, so he was usually depicted with two faces facing in opposite directions towards the past and the future.

The ancient Slavs called January “prosinets” (because at this time the ice on the river turns blue) or also “cut” (at this time they cut down the forest).

People say: “January is the beginning of the year, winter is the middle.”

Observations of inanimate nature in January

In January there is a lot of snow, if the frost is not severe, then you can make a snowman and play snowballs. IN severe frost The snow is dry, crumbles, and it’s practically impossible to sculpt from it.

In the sun and under the light of lanterns in the evening the snow glistens very beautifully. You can ask the children what kind of snow it is. (White, fluffy, shaggy, plump). Children can be shown artists’ paintings about winter, and recall the caricatured poems of Russian poets.

Look at snowflakes with your children. They are very different. Remember. The shape of snowflakes changes depending on the weather. When there is no wind, snowflakes fall slowly, they are large, shiny, and look like stars. During the thaw, flakes form.

By playing with snow, children learn its properties. Children know that snow protects the ground from freezing, a loose layer of snow retains heat better, since there is a lot of air there, so there is no need to compact the snow near trees.

When snow is removed, it is taken to gardens and fields, because snow cover is a source of moisture for plants. It’s also useful to water indoor flowers with melted snow.

During the thaw, children often see icicles on the roofs of houses. You can tell them where they come from.

Where do icicles come from?

Icicles are formed when low temperatures, usually several degrees below zero and when water enters. On the roofs of houses, under the influence of sunlight, snow begins to melt and water forms. Under the influence of gravity, the water flows down and, thanks to the cold air, freezes. One frozen drop is followed by another, which also freezes. then the next one, etc. When there are too many drops, the icicle may not be able to stand it and fall to the ground.

Observing flora and fauna

In winter, you can cut a branch of a tree and put it in warm water. It won't bloom for a long time. And only at the end of winter will the cut branches give rise to young shoots. The trees are at rest.

While walking, pay attention to the beauty of nature.

In frosty, foggy weather, frost appears on the branches of trees and bushes - ice coristals. This is a very beautiful sight. The trees look like they are standing in a fairy tale. Hoarfrost is often confused with hoarfrost - small ice crystals that look like tiny snowflakes. But frost never forms on thin, branchy objects. It lies on the ground on clear, cold nights and forms elegant patterns on our windows.

Trees often crack in the forest. Cracks may appear on them, which is why they say “bitter frosts.”

But even in such severe frosts, life in the forest does not stop. Cones are ripening on fir trees and pines. seeds spill out of them, on which there are small wings. They scatter and are carried away by the wind.

Hazel grouse and black grouse burrow into the snow. And on the top of the spruce crossbills hatch their chicks. In reservoirs under the ice, life also continues - burbot spawn.

January is the coldest month of the year. At this time it is very difficult for the birds. Therefore, together with your children, feed the arriving birds.

Our grandfather also made a bird feeder and every day we pour grains and seeds into it for the birds that come. These include titmice and sparrows.

On walks, talk with children about animals and how they spend the winter, for example, about the hare. Hares are not noticeable in the snow in winter because their coats are white. They feed more often at night, eating aspen bark. Hares have teeth as sharp as scissors.

You can see squirrel tracks in the park. In severe frosts, the squirrel hides in its nest,

Read stories and tales about animals to children.

Animals and birds are cold and hungry in January. In the bitterest frosts, the squirrel hides in a hollow, and the fox climbs into a deep hole. The bear-bear is still sleeping in his warm den.

At night, wolves howl sadly. Hunger drives them closer to housing. The wolves hope to profit from a calf or lamb. Foxes catch mice, hares and squirrels. The fox has very sensitive hearing; she hears mice squeaking in their holes under the deep snow. The cheat quickly breaks the snow and grabs the prey.

Bunnies in fluffy winter coats remain invisible in the snow. They cover up their tracks so that no one can find them. During the day, hares sit under bushes and feed at night. Their favorite winter delicacy is the bitter bark of young aspen trees. Sometimes the scythes run into orchards and strip the bark from apple trees.

Valera's New Year's adventures

Slammed Entrance door, and the animated voices of mom and dad were heard in the hallway, and the fresh smell of frost and pine needles wafted into the room.

- Valera! Look what we brought! - the mother called the boy.

Valera ran out into the hallway and gasped: right in front of him was a fluffy, thick, green Christmas tree.

“Now we’ll get the toys from the mezzanine and dress up our beauty!”

The Christmas tree was placed in a large room near the window. Valera and her mother began to hang gold and silver balls, glass icicles, bells and cones on it, decorate the resinous branches with beads, sparkling tinsel and garlands of multi-colored light bulbs, and put a large ruby star on the top of her head. Valera also hung his favorite toys on the tree, skillfully made from cotton wool and strewn with silver dust, similar to frosty frost. These toys were old and were stored separately from others in a cardboard box.

Valera missed them over the year and looked with pleasure at the postman bear, the hut on chicken legs and the hare in the cabbage. But most of all Valera liked the girl on the swing. Her cute pink face was smiling, and her short skirt was flying in the wind. In some way she reminded Valera of his neighbor Katya, with whom he had been in love since first grade. When the tree was completely decorated, mom went to the door and admired it:

- Very beautiful! Well, now I’ll go cook the festive dinner, because we have guests today - Katya and her mother!

Valera's heart began to beat joyfully! What a pleasant surprise! It was dark outside the window, snow was falling in large flakes, illuminated by lanterns from below.

Valera turned on the garland, and multi-colored lights flickered mysteriously in the thick dark green needles. The boy settled comfortably on the sofa near the Christmas tree, began to daydream and quietly dozed off.

Suddenly one golden star fell from the branch onto the floor and crumbled into sparkling fragments. The spark touched the boy. Valera opened his eyes and felt that he had become very small, no more than a Christmas tree decoration, and a dense spruce forest spread around him. But the boy was not at all afraid, on the contrary, he became very interested, it even seemed as if he had found himself in a magical fairyland and extraordinary adventures awaited him!

Having found a path of blue serpentine, Valera boldly followed it. Suddenly, from somewhere down the mountain, a postman bear skied onto the path.

- It’s so good that I met you, Valera! - he was happy. “There’s very little time left before the New Year, I’m afraid I won’t have time to deliver all the letters and cards with congratulations, maybe you can help me?”

- With pleasure! — the boy answered and pulled out a stack of letters and postcards from the postman bear’s bag.

- Thank you! And Happy New Year! - the bear wished him after.

- Good evening! - Valera greeted the girl. — And Happy New Year to you!

- Thank you, Valera! - answered the girl.

- Do you know my name? - the boy was surprised. - What is your name?

“Katya,” answered the doll.

- Katya, let's go deliver letters together! - called the beautiful Valera.

- I will find the witch and break your spell! - the boy exclaimed decisively, waved goodbye to Katya and ran along the path.

Suddenly, a black horse with a golden mane ran out of the thick fir trees towards Valera and stopped in front of the boy, rooted to the spot.

- Sit on me, Valera! I am your patron and will help you disenchant Katenka! The boy deftly jumped onto his horse, and they rode on. On the way they met a squirrel with a golden nut in huskies, a hare and a red fox sister. Valera gave New Year's letters with congratulations from Santa Claus to all the animals.

The path rose steeper and steeper, Valera raised his head and saw how high above him the golden horn of the month was swaying, and even higher the ruby star was burning. The forest became even denser, and finally they arrived at a hut on chicken legs. The sloping roof of the hut was covered with snow, bluish icicles hung over the porch, and a light flickered in the window.

The boy got off his horse and knocked on the door.

- Who's there? — the old woman’s voice grumbled dissatisfiedly.

- Open up, grandma! I brought you New Year's greetings!

-Congratulation? — the old woman asked in surprise. - I wonder from whom?

The door of the hut opened. Valera boldly went inside and handed Baba Yaga an elegant card with a fir branch and a large red ball on it.

Baba brought the card to her very nose:

- Oh, this is from Leshy! Apparently, he didn’t forget the old woman. “Sit down, boy, take a rest from the road, and I’ll treat you to some pies,” Baba Yaga continued affectionately. “I’ll just go get some firewood, I need to light the stove.”

And I thought to myself: “I’m going to have a nice New Year’s dinner today!”

The old woman left the hut and locked the door behind her. Suddenly the boy heard someone's voice:

- Don’t trust her, she’s an evil witch, run away from here as quickly as possible!

Valera looked around and saw a beetle.

-Where did you come from, bug?

“I’m hiding in a crack in an old chest, the old woman doesn’t even know about me.” Do you see the bunches of herbs drying under her ceiling? Grab a bunch of dried nettles quickly. If you touch Katya seven times, the spell will immediately break!

Valera quickly climbed onto the chest and took out a bunch of dried nettles.

“Now take a green pebble under the stove, press it against the door, it will open.”

The boy did everything as the beetle said.

The door of the hut swung open.

- Jump at full speed! There is very little time left until the New Year. If you are late to cast Katya's spell, she will remain a Christmas tree toy until the next New Year! - the beetle shouted after him.

Valera jumped on his horse, and they rushed as fast as they could

Katya was impatiently waiting for her friend. The boy jumped off his horse and touched her with a nettle stalk. Katya immediately jumped off the swing, laughed joyfully and spun around her savior:

- Hooray! I am free! I can run, jump and dance!

The children held hands and ran along the serpentine path, went down to the lowest branch of the tree and jumped from it onto the sofa.

At this time the bell rang and the mother called the boy:

- Valera! Go meet the guests!

Valera opened his eyes and was surprised to see that he was sitting on the sofa under the Christmas tree.

- So it was a dream!

He ran to the doors. A rosy, smiling Katya stood on the threshold:

— Happy New Year, Valera!

- With new happiness!

The modern name for this month was borrowed from the Roman calendar, in which it was dedicated to the two-faced god Janus. Among the ancient Romans, Janus was considered the god of doors, all beginnings, entrances and exits. He was depicted with the keys with which he opened each day of the year. Janus has two faces looking in different directions, symbolizing the inseparability of the beginning and the end, the future and the past. Janus is the god of order and peace, the organization of earthly and cosmic existence. In fact, the first month of the year was perceived in the same categories: it served as the beginning of the year, and with it nature, the sun, and human spiritual and labor activity were supposedly revived.

Janus - in ancient Roman mythology - the most mysterious figure of God ancient Rome. The Romans believed that he taught people calculus because numbers corresponding to the number of days in a year were inscribed on his hands.

In January, special significance was attached to weather phenomena, the behavior of birds and animals, and the actions of people. All this was considered as signs of fate, a harbinger of something important. At the beginning of the year, almost all peoples performed many magical rites, ritual actions, all kinds of fortune-telling and predictions. People turned to their ancestors in the hope of finding out the future.

Important Orthodox holidays January are considered and. According to the old style, they ended the outgoing year and opened the new year. At this time they celebrated.

January included the concept of a beginning associated with the increase in daylight hours and the rebirth of the sun after winter solstice. According to the early calendar, the year began in March and then January was the eleventh month. Later, during the September New Year, it took fifth place, and only in 1700, after the calendar reform of Peter I, did it become the first month of the year.

In the East Slavic tradition, the month was called “Prosinets” and “Sechen”. The first name comes from the blueness of the sky (glow) beginning to appear at this time, associated with an increase in daylight hours. The name “section” became widespread mainly in Ukraine. It is connected with the words “cut”, “cut”, and has two meanings:

January “cuts” winter in half;
the bitter frosts for which this month is famous “cut” the earth and all life on it.
