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 do little children make a Valentine’s day card?
My “little puzzles” started their Valentine’s Day creation frenzy in January. One day my children visited a craft store with their grandmother. They brought home lots of heart-shaped stickers, plush balls, and flowers to cut out, all in red and pink, of course. The youngest, DorA, bought new pink glue. In total, it has 6 pieces and new paints.As usual, we were supposed to do a Valentine’s Day project that Patrick chose, but Dora focused on painting her hands, gluing everything, and creating a Valentine’s Day mess. What it all looked like and what was created for Valentine’s Day in the project below and on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/missmarbell_/ A little surprise…

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…

What is a simple summer fan design for little children?
“The greatest happiness of summer days is ice cream and melon”. Sun, summer, ice cream and refreshing summer fruits like watermelons and melons sound perfect – especially for kids. We are once again moving to the creative corner and creating a DIY PAPER HAND FAN with “my little puzzles” in the theme of summer fruits. Everything we need you will find in your locker and it’s completely free. Popsicle sticks we collected from the ice cream when we enjoyed every summer day until today. The red and green paper is in my eldest son’s cupboard and markers, if you have children, you probably have plenty. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-do-children-make-airplanes-from-popsicle-sticks/ What little puzzles will…

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…
