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…

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…

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 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…

What Halloween projects do my children create?
“IMAGINE, CREATE AND TERRIFY OTHERS” I love any occasion when my kids can do DIY projects. Of course, mainly in my children’s projects, they use acrylic paint, glues, or my daughter’s favourite – glitter. It has to be “my little puzzles” art with paint stains all around and dripping glue on the floor. Therefore, using our DIY ideas, please stock up with: table cover, wet wipes, kitchen paper, and toxin-free acrylic paint that is easy to remove. As some already know, in DIY lessons we use cheap and easily recyclable products. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-children-create-octopus-family-from-toilet-paper-rolls/ With great pleasure, I look at “my little puzzles” and recognize their progress in all kinds of art…
