need toddler craft idea

crazynervous

I am having a few kids over on friday to play.  Last time we made playdough and I am trying to think of another idea for Frday.  Something I can prepare ahead of time and is pretty easy for them to do would be great.

Thanks!

DD's class made little pizza's in school on Friday. It's kind of a craft, plus they can eat it.

DS and I made cookies yesterday.  You could bake the sugar cookies before and then let the kids decorate them.

Someone posted this one the other day and I thought it looked interesting.

I always use notimeforflashcards.com to get ideas.  I love this website.  She has a lot of ideas on there that I have done with my kids. 

Some other ideas that we do and my kids love...making puppets out of lunch bags (or socks), painting with legos or cars (this makes a fun pattern),gluing pictures that I cut out of magazines (you can do any pictures or a theme, like food,winter etc.)

My DD is the same age as your son.  She loves to glue things on paper and make collages.  She can do it "all by herself" and they come out pretty cute.  I cut out shapes or pictures from paper or magazines, give her some google eyes, cotton balls, short pieces of yarn, even fruit loops, and a thing of glue, along with a large piece of contruction paper or a piece of thin cardboard, like a cereal box, and she will play with it for 45 minutes, with little interaction from me. 

I like that it is all her, not the perfect finished product I sometimes get back from school or the more perfect crafts that she demands help with because she knows that she can't "get it right."
