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

  • 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!


  • Colouring, painting, play dough, sticking stickers/paper with glue.

  • Make homemade christmas decorations my kids loved it last year and you can usually use items you already have at home and 2 year old friendly.


  • Playdo is great. You can get cute little craft kits and make up your own project.


  • mine is sudddenly really into painting – I put a towel on the table, some water and paint brushes and paper and just some water paints from the $2 shop. She has a ball!


  • stamping kits are easy , fun and very little mess!


  • play doh is easy to make – and you don’t have to worry about them putting it in their mouth. You can also make any colour you like if you have food dye.


  • It is always fun making plaster of paris hand or foot prints-she could paint them when they dry.
