How do children make colorful flowers?
We welcome the New Year – 2025, still in the cold and snow. My children, probably like all of us, miss the sun and colors. So we stay at home longer. We paint, draw and decorate, because after 2 hours outside our hands are frozen. Fortunately, we did not run out of ideas, only colors, so we focused on the spring theme. In just a few moments we created beautiful, colorful paper flowers from materials you have at home. Very easy to decorate with different, unique ideas. They can be used for a Valentine’s Day project, as Patrick added, or just to make your home look beautiful. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-do-little-children-make-a-valentines-day-card/ What little…

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 an Easter chick card with a dishwashing sponge?
We are slowly noticing that the days are longer and my children get a double dose of energy as a result. We spend entire weekends at the playground, and in the evenings, when we finally drag our children home, they still want to play and be creative. It’s good that the Easter holiday is approaching, the grandparents will take care of the children, and we, the parents, will have a rest. Below I will attach some Easter coloring pages for children to print out and today in the creative corner of “LITTLE PUZZLES “ also something related to Easter. What little puzzles will be created today? EASTER CHICK CARD What…

What your kids can prepare for Valentine’s Day?
“My children are the reason why I don’t see the world in black and white.” During the three years that I spent with the children in the creative corner, I noticed that new DIY ideas were based on their ideas. Previously, I was fully committed to every project. Mommy helped, glued, cut, and gave suggestions. Now Mommy just watch how well they do! https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-do-children-create-on-valentines-day-2/ Sometimes I join the children and carry out my own project. Together we will make a mess in one day. What hasn’t changed is the design concept. If I decide, it’s a good time for a project with dried leaves and flowers for the upcoming Valentine’s…

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 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 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.…

What Easter Bunny project is best for small children?
“The Easter Bunny job – proves that my children can find chocolates everywhere.” In our village surrounded by mountains spring does not visit us in March at all. It’s warmer now, but rainy and dirty. I still have a DIY Valentine’s card design in my head, https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-do-children-create-on-valentines-day-2/ and “my little puzzles” are already convincing me that they want to start Easter projects. Patrick and Dorothy are delighted with the Easter eggs on all store shelves. Chocolate bunnies have been in my basket a few times during family shopping, but I managed to put them back on the shelf. And in Nursery, they are already creating several Easter projects with teachers.…

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 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…
