What hilarious toy will kids make out of popsicle sticks?
As a mother of two relatively young children aged 4 and 7, I have been carrying out creative DIY projects with them for several years. Whenever we have free time, on weekends or to brighten up boring, rainy days, we sit down in a creative corner. The DIY POPSICLE STICK ARCH is simple, mostly adapted to the age of small children, from materials that each of you has. And if you don’t have them, you will soon collect them. Because who doesn’t have popsicle sticks, wine corks, rubber bands, plastic bottles, paper cups, etc. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-do-children-make-airplanes-from-popsicle-sticks/ The only thing that even we sometimes lack is glue and colored paper. In our…

How to make a card that will melt the hearts of grandparents?
“Grandchildren are always ready for surprises from grandparents. Make it work the other way too.” My creative corner was created primarily with children in mind. From an early age, I want to introduce them to the world of art. Primarily art that my children can make themselves and with materials that are available in my home. Their DIY projects must be simple, fun and creative. Very often, a family appearing in our house looks at their small decorations and praises their handicrafts. It is very nice for us, especially for my children. We often create “sharing is caring” projects. I found out that my children love to make crafts for someone (arts on stone,…

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…

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…

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…
