HOW TO SENSIBLY LIMIT SWEET IN THE CHILDREN’S MENU?
“Candy is childhood, the best and bright moments that you wish would last forever.” DYLAN LAUREN SWEETS For me, a childhood without sugar must be terribly sad. I understand moderation, healthy eating, a balanced diet, and an active lifestyle. I understand allergies and health restrictions. But I don’t understand the anti-sweet regime. When Patrick started going to the Nursery, he was 10 months old. Parents can already choose from 3 different menus for children: menu no 1 – meat, menu no 2 – vegetarian, menu no 3 – vegan. Great choice and a great idea. Because now, in fact, due to children’s allergies or parents’ food preferences, the child has…

WHEN YOU SEE HOW YOUR CHILD IMITATING YOU AND YOU START TO GET SCARED
“My children don’t remember what they eat for lunch but they remember what you are” Do you know that you mean everything to your children? You are a hero, a designer, a doctor, a teacher, a psychologist, a dentist, a chef, and everything and whoever the kids want from you right now. Mom may be a fairy because the children want to play in the magical forest. You can be a princess because they built a castle. In their store, you are always a customer. I’m never a customer because my son said: “Mom, you don’t know how to use the cash register.” Lately, I’ve been a guest in a…

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…

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 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…

I WISH TO BE MY CHILDREN’S SHADOW
“Magnificent childhood is not childhood locked in a safe bubble.” Last time we did a little experiment with my kids. From time to time, we try to send our children outside alone and watch them from the balcony. They really like to be independent, especially my 6-year-old son and I’m just afraid to leave them alone. They push me, more and more often, to give them freedom outside. Then I have to prepare one and the same protective story for their safety: “Children, what will happen and what to do if a stranger comes and asks you to go with him to the car, bus, or restaurant?“ Children answer: “We…

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…
