Spring is finally here! Let’s make some beautiful spring art with the kids just to celebrate the beginning of the season of the nature’s awakening and simply have fun. You only need a few materials to make this tissue paper bleeding artwork with children and by the way, it’s mess free! If you’re ready to get started, gather the supplies, which are squares of tissue paper, a small misting bottle filled with water, a pair of scissors and a thin black marker. So, the trick behind this interesting technique is about transferring the color from tissue paper onto another surface – watercolor paper.

This project is a great and funny brain game. Your kids will love it! You will need magnetic paper, altoid boxes, print out of tangrams and idea sheets, paper scissors, gel medium or Mod Podge, foam brush and glue stick. Print out your tangram images. Adhere the tangram images to your magnetic paper. Apply gel or Mod Podge to the tangram squares. Then glue the tangram idea charts to the inside of your Altoids tins. Apply a generous, even coat. Add the label to the front to cover the branding. Let everything dry completely. The rest of the tutorial is here.

If you’re ones of those parents that love unique and ultra modern furniture, you gonna love this Traven collection by Christian Vivanco and Nido Muebles. It’s represented by woven furniture made of wicker, certified wood for children that consist of an armchair, a stool and a toy box. None of these objects look like average pieces of children’s furniture, instead they reflect a truly original and rather extraordinary approach to design, choice of materials and an ability to adapt to any environment. All in all, this playful set can provide your kid lots of fun: children can climb on this furniture, store their toys, or just sit on it. Take a closer look to all of these incredible design pieces and check out the store if you like them.

We are all waiting for summer days, though the spring has just begun. So if you are preparing a party for your kids, take this idea and add summer details to it. You will need tea boxes, colorful gift wrap or construction paper, red stamp paper party straws, Mara-Mi greeting cards and envelopes, scissors, tape and Mod Podge. Choose a wrapping paper that gets you in a beach state of mind. Wrap your tea box in the paper of your choice and secure with tape. Choose a greeting card to use for the roof. Use your scissors to cut your card to the length of the box. You may have to take a 1/2 inch or so off your greeting card to match it to the size of the box. Again, use your scissors to cut fringe for the front side of your hut. The rest of the tutorial is here.

If your child loves everything about big and colorful jewelry, make some together! I found the easiest tutorial, which allows you to transform a vending machine container into whimsy jewelry. Sounds so much fun, right? First gather the supplies, which are super glue, plastic container from Toy Vending Machine, toy ring, sprinkles, sparkles and beads. Begin with washing and drying your plastic container. Then super glue your ring onto the top of the container. Next fill your container with lots of different sprinkles and sparkles. Finally, slip the top back onto your container. That’s it! Now you got such a cute statement accessory to wear!

Dinosaurs are so cute and funny so why not make some for your kids? For this project you will just need printable dinosaur templates, cardboard or thick paper, scissors, craft knife, paint and super glue. First of all print and cut all the dinosaur shapes from the templates. Then trace the dinosaur silhouettes onto your cardboard or paper and cut out. Next you need to help your dinosaurs stand by themselves, so you can cut out small rectangle pieces from your cardboard and attach the notches to your dino’s feet with super glue. Now it’s time to paint and play!

If you’re seeking for some boy’s nursery inspiration, come and join us on today’s tour around the space created for baby Bosley. “The Guncles” Bill Horn and Scout Masterson discussed lots of different options and themes, but decided not to stick with some current trends and trust their own fashion taste and intuition. It all started with an awesome medieval castle and dragons wallpaper from Paper Boy London. They decided on the navy, white and pale blue color scheme, which looks incredibly good in a boy’s nursery. As for the furniture, I’m in love with their choice of the crib, which has wheels, so it can be easily moved anywhere, and gorgeous Straight and Narrow Bookledges from The Land of Nod. Scroll down to see all of the photos of this clean and modern room and get inspired!

If your kids are small, they need to learn about everything. For example, shapes as a triangle, square, rhombus and many others. But if you show these shapes and just name them, it won’t be so interesting. So let’s turn simple learning into an exciting activity game! For this project you’ll need marshmallows and toothpicks. That’s all! First you need to talk with your kids about shapes and colors (find the multi-colored toothpicks) and count all toothpicks. You can make 2D shapes but if your kids are ready, you can create with them 3D shapes. We are sure that you and your kids will fall in love with this game!

We don’t always have an opportunity to provide our kids separate rooms. Well, it’s not a reason for blaming yourself, especially when you have such cool options for them to share a room. Probably, making a space welcoming and satisfying for both kids of different sexes seems to be the hardest task. So, how to design a room taking into account completely different children’s interests?

1. When picking a room’s color, pay attention to neutral shades. Add some colorful patterns, make accents by adding a colorful pillow or a rug, so that the room wouldn’t look boring.
2. Carefully think over storage options, it not only will make it easier to clean everything up, but also designate each child’s personal stuff.
3. Choose simple and functional furniture like compact bunk beds. If you want to personalize the interests of each child, ask them to choose the bed linen themselves.
4. Decorate your interior together with your children so that you could consider each child’s ideas and wishes.

To illustrate that these tips are actually working, we’ve gathered an awesome gallery filled with shared kids’ rooms for boys and girls. Enjoy!
