How do children create a flying butterfly out of paper?
“Don’t limit your children’s full potential and give them free choice.” There were plans to make a fly ladybug from paper but with my children you don’t plan, with my children you create what comes to mind at a given moment. After many years of experience, I endorse this ideology of unplanned DIY projects. My kids choose the crafts themselves, so don’t expect them to ask for anything, such as getting a drink or wiping the glue off their shirts. Sit quietly on the sofa, relax, and be amazed that your children create something beautiful together. The DIY projects of “my little puzzles” do not require any cost from you.…

How do children make colorful umbrellas?
“I prefer living in color.”David Hockney In our wonderful, tiny mountain village ( Frydlant nad Ostravici ) we have the return of winter, there is a lot of snow and it is still falling. My children ask me every time the frost and snow return, will it be Christmas again? The Christmas tree in their room is still up, so it seems like Christmas never stopped. I spend a lot of time outside with the kids and maybe we would spend more, but it gets gray and gloomy so quickly. Our mornings are no longer with beautiful sun, but with snow. Every January day we miss this sun and colors, but…

How the children made a jumping bunny out of paper?
“EVERYBUNNY NEEDS SOMEBUNNY SOMETIMES” I’d like to say that it’s spring outside the window, but I will lie. The snow and frost are back again, which of course is amazing for my kids. They have another snowball fight and come home drenched. However, this does not change the fact that my children have lost all their energy. In the afternoon, when they are at home, they still want fun or creativity. Very often my older son jumps, runs and behaves like the rabbit from the “Duracell battery” ad. This gave me the idea to create with my “little puzzles” a DIY PAPER BUNNY. But not a calm, cute bunny sleeping…

What do children create on Valentine’s Day?
My “little puzzles” started the Valentine craze during the winter holidays. The power of creation has also passed to my goddaughter and in a creative corner, we will present as many as 3 artistic crafts. The youngest Dorothy will take care of gluing, her favorite form of creating art. Patrick needs to have a more complex and preferably more dangerous project because he loves using paper staplers.

What children can create with plastic bottles and straws?
There were plans, as always, to make a paper animal other than a spider. With my son, you don’t plan, with my son we create what comes to his mind at a given moment. Patrick now chooses shapes, colors, and the entire handicraft design. Original design idea, it was about a ladybug or a bird or anything else but not a spider. However, since I prefer children to choose what they create and use their own imagination, I accepted the spider with feigned delight. The DIY projects of “my little puzzles” do not require any cost from you. They are usually made of items intended for recycling (plastic bottles) or…

What decorations do children create from dried flowers?
“Today’s children need to spend more time with art and even more time with their parents.” In the creative corner not only my children today but also me. Together we will create a DIY project that will help us move from Christmas decorations at home to universal decorations. As for January, we do not have much choice in the natural gifts of nature, so we will use spring and summer resources: dry leaves, chestnuts, dry flowers, grasses, and herbs. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-do-children-make-art-from-leaves/ Everything that my „little puzzles” managed to bring home. I always write that my children collect tons of treasures from joint walks. But I found myself doing it too. We just love natural decorations at home. And we like to spend…

How do children make Christmas trees from pine cones?
“Good art is not what it looks like but what it does to us”. – Roy Adzak My little puzzles and I took a trip to the forest to collect nature’s beautiful gifts – pine cones, for our Christmas projects. Then we went with my son to his favorite decorating store. We purchased everything we needed to create our DIY art, including additional glues, paints, glitter, strings, pom-poms, and colored paper. When my son picks glitter colors, I notice a lot of Christmas stuff around. I stopped next to the shelf with front door decorations. These door decorations are made of plastic, green Christmas tree branches with plastic bells and…

How do children prepare an Advent calendar?
“Christmas doesn’t come from the store. Christmas is family and a lot more time together”. There are signs of approaching winter in my village. Drivers struggle with frosted car windows, it gets slippery underfoot, and excited children look out for the first snow every day.My little puzzles slowly change autumn DIY projects into winter ones. And since winter is associated with the celebration of Christmas, we will start with a very simple, cheap but very meaningful craft which is The Advent Calendar. Being a parent myself, I know what the stories of having an advent calendar with sweets look like. My kids wanted chocolate every morning because a new day…

What Christmas decorations do my children make from popsicle sticks?
We are two weeks away from Christmas. My little kids bring home Christmas decorations every day, which they make at school and Nursery. In children’s places, the Christmas tree is already decorated. In our home not yet, a slight delay this year. But we have more time to make decorations for the Christmas tree. For all those who, like us, have not yet managed to decorate the Christmas tree, we will create snowflakes and a Christmas tree from popsicle sticks. In addition, before Christmas, everyone is busy preparing Christmas dishes, shopping, and cleaning, so we leave the simplest and least labor-intensive projects for last. This is not our first DIY…

How do children make pumpkin seed crafts?
“Change your imagination to a more colorful one, the colors of autumn leaves should match it perfectly.” Our last project was an autumn-themed one, involving Halloween decorations – specifically a scary pumpkin. As I mentioned earlier, the pumpkin should not only be associated with Halloween, but also with the many benefits it has. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-are-the-benefits-of-the-scary-pumpkin-design/ Our pumpkin seeds are a great food for birds. I eat them myself as a snack, or you can cook a delicious pumpkin cream. In today’s art, we will showcase another use of pumpkin seeds, namely in a decorative context. In the creative corner, my children are supposed to create a hedgehog out of pumpkin seeds and leaves. The autumn project, right? Dora was…
