“EVERY CHILD IS AN ARTIST” Picasso It’s raining outside, my kids already are bored with lego towers. Also, little houses with blankets and pillows are no longer fun. Every room in my house looks like a landscape after a tornado, earthquake, and flood at the same time. 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 the children’s room, where we have colorful curtains, bedding, carpet, and the rest of the furniture and only the light switches are original basic – not matching colour.…

“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.

How do children create a butterfly and bat from wine corks?

How do children create funny characters from yogurt bottles?
“GIVE CHILDREN FREEDOM THEN THEY WILL LEARN TO CREATE AND PLAY TOGETHER”. We’ll make something useful out of something tasty. I’ve already written about ice cream and using a popsicle stick to create airplanes. We combined delicious ice cream with creative fun, and the joy doubled. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-do-children-make-airplanes-from-popsicle-sticks/ Today, in the creative corner, my “little puzzles” will be making crafts from yoghurt bottles.

Hopefully, we can spend more time with our sweetie pea in the playground, park, or forest. As well for children is a time to discover nature, that’s why they usually disappear into the bush and search for precious things. My “little puzzles” never get bored looking for stones: small, big, round, oblong, and huge stones. The oversize rocks I left in the grass mostly, if children do not pay attention. At home, asked by my children: Where did the largest specimens disappear? I show a surprised face. After a few hours of exploring, my…

How do children make a racing car from toilet paper rolls?
“ALMOST ALL CREATIVITY REQUIRES PURPOSEFUL PLAY” Abraham Lincoln My children have thousands of toys. It is not because we are rich and we buy new, famous toys. It happened because our parents became grandparents and for them, shopping is: Let’s buy the grandchildren what they want, what they like, or just buy toys for no reason. And I am very grateful for that, but my children play with everything that is not in the playroom. Or like my son is never bored of one toy, his favorite – a racing car.

How do children make pencil holder from toilet paper rolls?

The second important issue is the ability to create from this material also by my two-year-old daughter. Thirdly and most beautiful argument for why I decided to create an octopus family with my…
