Hello!

What easy craft ideas can I do with my 2.5 year old little girl? She is easily distracted but a keen learner… Thanks

  • Also make up a messy play kit.


  • Messy and fun play is good at this age. Maybe invest in good craft and activity books.


  • Not really considered “craft” but my 2yo loves play dough! We use rolling pins and cookie cutters and she’ll play for ages. She also loves drawing ( mostly with crayons) and water painting ( we use those books that you paint with water and the colour appears)
    finger painting is also fun but gets very messy lol


  • I remember making pom pom animals with my daughter. She got to choose the pom poms and I did the glueing.


  • Great! There really interesting comments on this!
