My toddler and I love crafts! I’m always so suprised how excited she get when we do a new “project”. By now, I’ve learned that the trick to a successful crafting session is to be fully prepared before we start. I have everything set up from materials to clean up wipes or plastic bags for trash ready. This helps alleviate the issue of leaving a toddler with freshly poured paint to walk away and grab paper or clean up materials! It also keeps me from losing her attention before we even get started.

| She wasn’t nearly as confused as this picture suggests! |
Here what you need:
Paper
Scissors
Crayola Washable paint
Clothes Pins
Cotton Balls
Clamp the cotton ball with the clothes pin and use a different one for each color. We made an easter egg and a carrots. The leaves of the carrot were her handprint. I traced them and then cut it out while she painted. She is loving real paint these days, I’m going to need to invest in some brushes and a cute smock!
These were nap time crafts while baby brother was asleep. I haven’t been daring enough to bring him into the fold with our crafting just yet. What fun spring crafts have you done or seen?
