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.…

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…

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…

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…
