We’ve always loved arts and crafts at our house, even when my girls were toddlers.

But, sometimes it’s hard to find crafts for toddlers that are simple and age appropriate. So many cute crafts are much better suited to older kids.

Luckily, I’ve got some great ideas for you. The crafts you’ll find below are all well suited to toddlers. They get to be creative, have fun, and learn, learn, learn.

And, once you’re done making crafts, try one of these fun activities for toddlers to spend more quality time together.

Get creative with your little ones with one of these fun and simple arts and crafts for toddlers. These are all doable and very fun.

Process over Product

One important thing to keep in mind when making crafts for toddlers is that the process is more important than the product.

Your crafts will not be Pinterest worthy and that’s ok. Your toddler will have fun, learn a lot, and be able to take ownership of their craft. That’s what’s important.

Let them get messy and experiment. The experience is what matters. And, you know what, the result is going to be absolutely beautiful because they did it all themselves!
