How to create a DIY bicycle out of cocktails straw?
“Use children’s art to color your life” It’s still snowing outside the window and it’s still -6. I tell myself, just a few more days and January will end (the coldest month), then February will be short and in March we will slowly welcome spring. For children, fun in the snow never gets boring, they don’t mind wet gloves. Recently they found more fun than building snowmen, building snow tunnels and snowball fights, now they are looking for icicles. On the way home, I lack energy, but the children’s energy doubles. It’s the perfect time for a new project in your creative corner. With a new craft idea from “my…

How do children create funny frog with pop-up tongue?
“When you have kids, your house is still decorated a month after Christmas or more.” You can still feel the Christmas atmosphere in my house. Christmas decorations made by children are still on all the shelves. New Year’s Eve time stays in every room. Balloons are hanging in the corners or rolling on the floor because they fell. I know it’s time to take off those ornaments, but my kids say otherwise. Yesterday, for example, they brought from school jars covered with fake snow. And my every attempt to bury their Christmas masterpieces ends in a fiasco. I think Christmas feeling will stay with us until spring. And when it comes to spring, I managed to convince…

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 to use dry rice in children’s DIY projects?
In the creative corner of “my little puzzles”, we often use materials to create works of art, that we have in the cupboards at home. My children like projects in which they realize themselves and come up with patterns, sketches, colors, and projects according to their ideas. For very cool and simple DIY projects you can use dry pasta https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-children-create-a-pasta-bracelet-from-dry-pasta/ or dry rice. I dye this material in different colors the day before so that it dries. And next day I already give my children a colorful and dry product to create.This project works well when you want to keep children occupied for 1 to 2 hours and not worry…

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…

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…

What do children make of playdough? Part 1
“SUN, HAPPINESS AND PLAYDOUGH” Welcome back in the summertime and let’s give the kids more DIY projects to do with popsicle sticks. After our last crafting activity and making lovely airplanes, there are many sticks left. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-do-children-make-airplanes-from-popsicle-sticks/ Additionally, we still have sunny, warm summer days, so the ice cream from our daily menu has never disappeared.

I and “my little puzzles” prepare for you today the colourful, cheerful, and very simple project made of playdough. With this art, you can easily move to the balcony…

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…
