In our house, crafting is undoubtedly the number one hobby of everyone living here, right down to the youngest kids. This makes doing a DIY project an awesome bonding activity, but we have to make sure that we have plenty ideas on hand that everyone, of all ages, will actually be capable of and interested in! Our older kids have plenty of things they’re good at and like to do, but we’re always keeping our eyes peeled for cute themed and seasonal crafts for our toddler aged children to make sure they get to be creative and learn that way along with everyone else too.
