Winter is fast approaching and we already have tons of snow where we are so what better way to enjoy the snow then to jump into some winter crafts. If you’re running out of ideas for toddler activities then these winter crafts will spark your creativity.
My toddler loves getting down and dirty and creating beautiful pieces of art that she completed all by herself. It’s a great way to spend your afternoon crafting and watch their eyes light up when they are finished as they sit back and enjoy their hard work.
My children never want me to throw any of their work away but we just don’t have the space to store them all, which is why we take pictures of everything.
