Toddler Crafts, Fun Toddlers Activity

A great, safe way to get your kids involved with your crafts projects it to make things with popsicle sticks.÷  You can have your kids decorate the popsicle sticks with markers to their liking.÷  Make sure you purchase washable markers.÷  Also, go for quantity, not quality, because more often than not your toddlers will forget to put the lids back on the markers.÷ 

After they finish putting color on the sticks, find some pictures.÷  You can use photographs, pictures out of magazines, or use a picture of them.÷  Use the popsicle sticks as a frame for the picture.÷  After this, tie a string to each side of the picture, so you can hang it anywhere.÷ 

I am sure you have heard of macaroni necklaces.÷  Every toddler should get the thrill of making their first macaroni necklace.÷  Just put some macaroni in a jar, add some food coloring, and shake them around until you get the color you are looking for.÷  Repeated this process until you get a satisfactory amount of color.÷  Let the macaroni dry on paper towels.÷ 

After you get all of the macaroni colored and dry, provide your toddler with a piece of shoestring or yarn.÷  Make sure to tape one end, so the macaroni does not fall off.÷  Once you show them how to put the macaroni on the string, it will be easy for them.÷  Let them pick the colors and design.

Then there is the always famous sock puppet.÷  If you haven"t heard of the sock puppet, this one is simple.÷  All you need to do is decorate a sock with a mouth, eyes, and nose.÷  A sock puppet can provide hours of entertainment for toddlers and can be made within minutes.

Another entertaining (and slightly messy) crafts idea is making art out of fruitloops.÷  First, open the box of fruitloops and sort them by color.÷  After you get all of the colors sorted, put them in a zip-lock baggy.÷  Crush them in the baggy until they get a sand-like appearance.÷  After you have all of the colors crushed in baggies, you can put them in layers in a baby food jar.÷  All of the fun of sand, without the risk of worrying about your toddler eating it.

Your toddler will certainly enjoy making binoculars.÷  All you need is two paper towel rolls, a÷  hole punch, glue, and yarn.÷  First, glue the two paper towel rolls together so they look like binoculars.÷  Next, punch a whole in each side and tied the yarn to each side.÷  Do this so they can wear the binoculars around their neck like a necklace.÷  Let them look through the binoculars and describe what they see.÷  It is always fun to give them the impression that they are able to see things that you can"t.÷  Like they have special powers with their binoculars.
