Craft/Project Ideas for 1 1/2 year olds???

DD is 15 months old and I recently got out the crayons and she had a blast with them! I'd like to do craft projects with her daily, especially in summer when I can do messy ones outside and can use the hose to clean her up! :) I have found a ton for around 3 years old, but having a harder time with the younger age. Ideas or any blogs that would be good to check out? Thanks!

    Honestly I'd just stick with coloring and maybe finger painting.   18 months isn't going to be a good age for having an attention span for doing any sort of "project" or caring about an end product.   Just let her have fun.  Play dough might be fun to play with too.

    Provided she doesn't put her hands in her mouth...shaving gel or cream on a table (and you can add dye for color) just let her play in it. You can cut out shapes or find sticky backed foam pieces and have her stick them to a paper. Spray bottles to paint paper, sidewalk chalk. You can pick almost any project (for a 3 year old) and just adapt it.

    Add food coloring to vanilla pudding and let her finger paint.  Bubbles are good for any age, sidewalk chalk, fingerpaint with washables (good for outside).  Add rice/beans to empty water bottles (glue top back on).

    https://teachertomsblog.blogspot.com/ his blog is full of great messy play.

    I think that most projects that you find can all be adapted to younger kiddo's as well.

    Emily loves Do-a-dots: https://dotart.com/markers.htm  just let her loose with a blank sheet of paper over the table. I also have her decorate thank you notes and cards to grandma with these.

    She also likes stickers and foam stickers (watch michaels/joanns, they are often on sale)  We have also done the foam shapes on clear contact paper, then another sheet on top to seal it.  (makes placemats too)

    I got this book but haven't tried anything yet: 
    First Art : Art Experiences for Toddlers and Twos https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0876592221

    I plan to do the pudding fingerpaint soon.
