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…

How do children make pumpkin seed crafts?
“Change your imagination to a more colorful one, the colors of autumn leaves should match it perfectly.” Our last project was an autumn-themed one, involving Halloween decorations – specifically a scary pumpkin. As I mentioned earlier, the pumpkin should not only be associated with Halloween, but also with the many benefits it has. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-are-the-benefits-of-the-scary-pumpkin-design/ Our pumpkin seeds are a great food for birds. I eat them myself as a snack, or you can cook a delicious pumpkin cream. In today’s art, we will showcase another use of pumpkin seeds, namely in a decorative context. In the creative corner, my children are supposed to create a hedgehog out of pumpkin seeds and leaves. The autumn project, right? Dora was…

How to make a spider that scares grannies?
“Long after Halloween, we have a house full of candies, spiders, bats, pumpkins, and a house full of fun.” Is October a month full of mysterious projects for you and your children? My kid’s creativity in October revolves around making spiders, scary masks, bats, spooky pumpkins, ghosts, and all the other decorations that are both terrifying and fun to them. Our grandparents visited us over the weekend and admired the Halloween decorations. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-halloween-projects-do-my-children-create/ https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/what-kind-of-halloween-scary-project-will-little-kids-create/ Also, they brought a dozen sweets. Everything looked great, usually an afternoon with a good cup of coffee, until Patrick put the spider on Grandma’s plate, and Grandma touched the hairy spider instead of a cup of coffee. Terrible, right? Grandma jumped…

DOROTHY – MY SPECIAL GIFT
“The struggle was part of my journey.” Dorothy means God’s gift. It is the name we chose for our daughter. You could say that making a baby is a minor matter, nothing difficult. 6 months of trial and boom, my brother’s wife is pregnant. All the women around at once, all pregnant too. And I had 4 years of trials and a wonderful time with my husband, and nothing. Also, I gave up most family events because their questions were killing me: “What about you, don’t you want a baby?” “Aren’t you trying?” “How old are you?” – This one is my the best. “Don’t you take a vacation? It…

NEW SLEEPING ROUTINE BY PATRICK
“SAY HELLO TO NEWBORN AND GOODBYE TO YOUR PILLOW”. I AM IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND AT THE RIGHT TIME Hi, my name is Patrick. I haven’t slept a single night for the first three years of my life. My causes are not colic or teeth (the first ones fell out only after 10 months, very late, but also painlessly). I just didn’t sleep for no reason. I also didn’t like naps during the day. When I was one year old, I stopped sleeping in the Nursery, as the only one in the group. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/where-do-moms-get-energy-to-succeed-throughout-the-day/ In the first weeks of my life, I pooped a lot often, after almost every…

MOMMY AND DARK MAGIC
“YOU NEVER REALIZE WHAT YOUR MAGICAL POWERS ARE UNTIL YOU HAVE CHILDREN” I am a huge fan of fairy tales, I was before my children were born. The best one with a moral ending and with the significant sentence “they lived happily ever after”. What is the reason? Probably that my day in childhood ended with one bedtime story on tv, and that’s it, night, night. After my childhood experiences, I’m catching up by watching cartoons with children. And above all due to the fantastic quality of current fairy tales, the emotions that accompany me while watching them, are certainly greater than the emotions of my child. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/my-new-face/ Which are my…

How do children create art on stone?
Welcome back to the Do It Yourself project. Summer is approaching, the days are warmer, and that’s a reason to spend more time outdoors. Hopefully, we’ll be able to spend more time with our sweet peas at the playground, in the park, or in the forest. For children, it’s a time for exploring nature; that’s why they usually disappear into the bushes in search of valuables. Natural treasures My “little puzzles” never get boring, searching for rocks: small, large, round, oblong, and enormous. I mostly leave these huge rocks in the grass if the children aren’t paying attention. At home, when the children ask, “Where have the biggest ones disappeared?” I…

EMOTIONAL BAG
“When after giving birth you ask your midwife how many stitches she has put on and she answers: Don’t worry, I will make you a virgin again”. I read a lot of posts about labour preparation, and as I read more, I saw more redundant and repetitive information. I know that every woman has a different birth experience, and so do I. That is why I created some essential birth tips that I will present below. PREPARE HOSPITAL BAG BIRTH PADS THE SIZE OF TITANIC Packing the bag for the hospital is extremely important, so I will show you what my secret baggage includes: And less important for me, but…

How do children make pencil holder from toilet paper rolls?
“CREATIVITY IS HAPPINESS” A long time ago, I had a plan for my kids to clean their room, but that plan wasn’t quite successful. Why did the plan fail? Because during real cleaning, they had more time to argue for the toys or play together with the toys they found. You can find more about my kids’ cleaning theory, which obviously doesn’t work perfectly, here https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/cleaning-theory/ After all, I decided to move with my children to a creative corner, meanwhile, find a solution to clear away a little clutter from my son’s desk. First, I discuss with my older son that his most useful things are pens, markers, scissors, and…

How do children create an Octopus family from toilet paper rolls?
“ENCOURAGE KIDS TO BE CREATIVE WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT BEING PERFECT”. Dav Pilkey Hello, again, my busy parents. Today, I am going to share with you the simplest idea for home activities with children. I caught this idea on a rainy day while reading an article, and I remembered the following sentence: “Toilet paper is safe for making crafts. The risk of injury from craftsmanship is minimal.” The main reason my kids and I like art made of this material. The second important issue is the ability to create with his material, which my two-year-old daughter can also do. Thirdly, and most beautiful argument for why I decided to create an…
