If you do crafts with your toddler(s) what kind of crafts do they enjoy doing?

London loves to paint (if that's considered a craft), also I do a ton of crafts with Caden so she benefits from it. We make food crafts as well that they can eat later. London is doing well trying to color with a crayon so we often do coloring sheets. The last thing we did was make necklaces out of yarn and pasta. She loved it. She tried really hard to string the pasta.

I'm such a bad mommy. I used to be so crafty, but have lost that edge for so long. I have to admit, I read with Maggie and sing with her, play with her, watch cartoons with her. Tried colouring a bit, but we don't do enough. Must do more things with Maggie!!!

ugggh. Why is everything a trade off? Why can't days be 30 hours long, on only 8 of them spent sleeping and working?

^^^ Girl no you are not a bad mommy. Honestly London benefits from a ton of things because of Caden. It's like once they move from the baby stage you have to be creative to keep them entertained! lol...You can only watch so much TV...ha ha..ha

We tried coloring some, but he eats them, so it doesn't work very well...

Max likes finding pencils that his siblings leave out and coloring on the wall. Does that count?

Caleb likes to finger paint but that's about all I've tried. He'll color for a minute then he eats them. LOL

we color and paint with Sydney. We also have a chalkboard easel -- she loves it.

I'm amazed by the crafts she gets sent home with from daycare. I have so many paintings, etc from her already that I don't know where to put them all.
