Nothing says fall fun like a good old scarecrow paper plate craft! 🍁 It’s simple. It’s adorable. And best of all, it’s toddler-approved. All you need is a paper plate, crayons, glue, scissors, and the free printable template (you can grab it below!). We did this one with our two- and three-year-olds, and let me…
Ever start a craft thinking it’s your last project of the day, only for your child to enthusiastically shout, “I want to keep painting!” Yep. That’s exactly how this neon seahorse craft came to be. We had just finished our neon jellyfish craft, and my two-year-old was not done. He was loving exploring all the…
Have you ever planned a craft thinking “this will be quick and easy”, only for it to turn into an entire day of neon ocean art? 🙋♀️ Yep, same here. The plan was simple: make a neon paper plate jellyfish craft with my two-year-old. I grabbed a paper plate, thinking he’d finger paint it like…
You know those days when you think, “Surely, we’re done crafting now…” and then your kids prove you hilariously wrong? That was me on what turned into our Neon Ocean Art Day, insert…our blobfish painting craft. We’d just finished our Neon Paint Transfer Seahorse, and I figured we were calling it good for the night….
If your kids are anything like mine, they’re either pretending to be mermaids or chomping the air like a shark at least once an hour. Honestly, my toddler thinks he is a shark most days. And if we’re being really honest, I still want to be a mermaid when I grow up. Today I’m sharing…
You want something festive, fun, toddler-friendly… and not a total prep-time monster. Enter: spray paint star art. It’s simple enough for a two-year-old, flexible enough to use with any colors (even when your paint kit doesn’t come with red), and includes a surprise element toddlers love. Whether you’re a childcare provider needing quick wins or…
If you’re hunting for 4th of July crafts for toddlers that don’t involve glittering your entire dining room or making a 14-step Martha Stewart centerpiece your 2-year-old will abandon in 12 seconds flat, pull up a chair, friend. This is your kind of post. We’ve been working our way through the printables in my 4th…
Sometimes a craft just takes on a life of its own… and this 4th of July handprint fireworks craft? Oh, it definitely did. What started as a simple, semi-controlled idea turned into a gloriously messy, totally child-led, and absolutely joyful art explosion. And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way. If you’re looking for…
There’s something awesome about turning everyday materials into outer space art, and this coffee filter planet craft for preschoolers might just be one of my favorite ways to do it. It’s low-prep, super engaging, and combines color blending, splatter painting, and a dash of glitter glue…just kidding…bottles and bottles of glitter glue. Let’s dive into…
There’s something oddly satisfying about handing a toddler a stack of construction paper and saying, “Go ahead, rip it.” No scissors. No lines to stay inside. No rules. Just little hands, a glue stick, and the absolute chaos of creative freedom. Recently, we did a space-themed torn paper craft for preschoolers that brought together motor…
