    What Christmas decorations do children make from rolls of paper?

    “It doesn’t matter what your home looks like on Christmas, it matters who is around.” We’re back in the creative corner with our favorite recycled material for crafts – paper rolls. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-halloween-projects-do-my-children-create/ We have the approaching winter and the abundance of Christmas decorations catches the eye in every store. The DIY project of my puzzle will be about characters related to Christmas. Dorothy will create Santa and Grinch, and Patrick choose Snowman and Reindeer.

    How do children create funny characters from yogurt bottles?

    “GIVE CHILDREN FREEDOM THEN THEY WILL LEARN TO CREATE AND PLAY TOGETHER”. We’ll make something useful out of something tasty. I’ve already written about ice cream and using a popsicle stick to create airplanes. We combined delicious ice cream with creative fun, and the joy doubled. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-do-children-make-airplanes-from-popsicle-sticks/ Today, in the creative corner, my “little puzzles” will be making crafts from yoghurt bottles. In my example, I found empty bottles of Actimel or Activia yoghurt.  The crafting process from yogurt bottles is very easy, and you can make simple patterns first. Little people from the bottle, that’s what my children started with. However, this simple form only amused my two-year-old daughter,…
