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…

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 do children create on Valentine’s Day?
My “little puzzles” started the Valentine craze during the winter holidays. The power of creation has also passed to my goddaughter and in a creative corner, we will present as many as 3 artistic crafts. The youngest Dorothy will take care of gluing, her favorite form of creating art. Patrick needs to have a more complex and preferably more dangerous project because he loves using paper staplers. And Victoria created a card with a magically changing color heart. This time surprise for adults – print your own love coupons ⇊ click here ⇊ What little puzzles will be created today?

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…

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 bought everything we needed to make our DIY art: more glues, paints, glitters, 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…

How do children make a chocolate-free Santa countdown calendar?
“Christmas doesn’t come from the store. Christmas is family and a lot more time together”. There are signs of approaching winter in my village. Drivers struggle with frosted car windows, it gets slippery underfoot, and excited children look out for the first snow every day.My little puzzles slowly change autumn DIY projects into winter ones. And since winter is associated with the celebration of Christmas, we will start with a very simple, cheap but very meaningful craft which is The Advent Calendar. Being a parent myself, I know what the stories of having an advent calendar with sweets look like. My kids wanted chocolate every morning because a new day…

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…
