How to make a spider that scares grannies?
“Long after Halloween, we have a house full of candies, spiders, bats, pumpkins, and a house full of fun.” Is October a month full of mysterious projects for you and your children? My kid’s creativity in October revolves around making spiders, scary masks, bats, spooky pumpkins, ghosts, and all the other decorations that are both terrifying and fun to them. Our grandparents visited us over the weekend and admired the Halloween decorations. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-halloween-projects-do-my-children-create/ https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-kind-of-halloween-scary-project-will-little-kids-create/ Also, they brought a dozen sweets. Everything looked great, usually an afternoon with a good cup of coffee, until Patrick put the spider on Grandma’s plate, and Grandma touched the hairy spider instead of a cup of coffee. Terrible, right? Grandma jumped…

What are the benefits of the scary pumpkin design?
“There is magic in the night when pumpkins glow by moonlight”. As you may have noticed from previous DIY projects, we use a lot of recycled items to create works of art. These treasures you probably have in your cupboard: paper rolls, glass or plastic bottles, lids, wine corks, ice cream popsicle sticks, dry pasta, pumpkin seeds and many other such products. Also, my children use many gifts of nature that can be used to create amazingly beautiful decorations. Let’s try to teach our chipmunks to be responsible for themselves and the environment around them. Therefore, in today’s project, it will be natural, healthy, and pleasant. Autumn has already given us a lot of natural gifts for my little…

How do children create decorations for light switches?
“EVERY CHILD IS AN ARTIST” Picasso It’s raining outside; my kids are already bored with LEGO towers. Little houses with blankets and pillows are no longer fun, too. Every room in my house looks like a landscape after a tornado, an earthquake, and a flood all at once. This is the main reason why I take my children to the creative corner and share with you the “little puzzles” DIY project. What do the light switches look like in your home? Especially in my children’s room, we have colorful curtains, bedding, carpet, and the rest of the furniture. Only the light switches are original, basic – not matching the colour.…

How do children make art from leaves?
“THE TIME CHILDREN SPEND IN NATURE IS NEVER WASTED TIME“ Summer vacation for you? Forget about it. My kids still need new activities every two minutes. Even though grandparents have a swimming pool, soccer field, sandbox, and hundreds of other attractions, all this is enough only for an interesting morning, and what about the afternoon and the rest of the day? Thanks to this DIY project, we will be looking for treasures in the backyard and we will find lots of ideas to create with these precious items. My children are lucky because they spend their holidays on farms. So each piece of grass hides treasures: feathers, leaves, pebbles, an…

How do children create a butterfly and bat from wine corks?
“PAINTERS PAINT PICTURES WITH THEIR OWN HANDS, CHILDREN PAINT WITH ALL PARTS OF THE BODY AND EVERYTHING AROUND ”. Wine cork crafts are a great way to recycle corks. We can make any art from this product, any kind from animals to cartoon characters, fun little people, and other seasonal decorations. Those who like crafts and recycling will love DIY cork projects. Besides, you can easily find them at home, if not, contact your grandparents. They gave my children a big surprise when one day brought a whole jar of wine corks. This week, my daughter and I had the idea of creating an adorable butterfly from a wine cork. While my lovely, older son said: “It’s cute but for girls”…

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,…

How do children make airplanes from popsicle sticks?
“ONLY THE KID’S VIVID IMAGINATION OPENS UP THE SECRET PLAY NOOK”. Some time ago I and my “little puzzles” shared with you the DIY art stone project I hope you already tried it with your children. If not, please see this project here https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-do-children-create-art-on-stone/. I also mentioned the upcoming summer season, which means that there are even more outdoor adventures with my small explorers. For my family, summer is the time for ice cream several times a day, even for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our beloved ice cream means dirty faces and clothes too. Unfortunately, when all the ice is felt to the ground, an undesirable and inevitable accident can…

How do children create art on stone?
Welcome back to the Do It Yourself project. Summer is approaching, the days are warmer, and that’s a reason to spend more time outdoors. Hopefully, we’ll be able to spend more time with our sweet peas at the playground, in the park, or in the forest. For children, it’s a time for exploring nature; that’s why they usually disappear into the bushes in search of valuables. Natural treasures My “little puzzles” never get boring, searching for rocks: small, large, round, oblong, and enormous. I mostly leave these huge rocks in the grass if the children aren’t paying attention. At home, when the children ask, “Where have the biggest ones disappeared?” I…

How do children make pencil holder from toilet paper rolls?
“CREATIVITY IS HAPPINESS” A long time ago, I had a plan for my kids to clean their room, but that plan wasn’t quite successful. Why did the plan fail? Because during real cleaning, they had more time to argue for the toys or play together with the toys they found. You can find more about my kids’ cleaning theory, which obviously doesn’t work perfectly, here https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/cleaning-theory/ After all, I decided to move with my children to a creative corner, meanwhile, find a solution to clear away a little clutter from my son’s desk. First, I discuss with my older son that his most useful things are pens, markers, scissors, and…
