I was never much of a crafter until Miss G came along!

Her favourite way to start the day is by doing a craft, so I try to come up with fun kids' craft ideas that are geared to her skill level - rather than Pinterest-perfect crafts that are going to frustrate her or need a lot of assistance from me (while I'm trying to get breakfast ready).

Miss G's enthusiasm for crafting has spread, as I have learned how energizing crafting can be for myself, and the toddlers in our daycare have also begun insisting on daily crafts. I share the best of those here.

What matters to me is that these kids' craft ideas & art activities:

• engage creative thinking and problem solving
• stimulate a love of creation
• build confidence via independence
• are affordable - especially if the children "destroy" rather than "create"
• engage fine motor skills whenever possible
• are open-ended and flexible, so the children can be creative & self-expressed, no matter what my original intentions

Our most popular craft ideas include:
