Friday Finds: 12 Toddler-Friendly Crafts and Activities

Whether you have your kiddos home with you full-time, or you’re enjoying the last of their… enthusiasm before they go back to school, or you’re the hero on the weekends like me – it’s always nice to put some fun activities together that small hands can make and do!  My daughter has gotten particularly creative lately so I’ve been out blog-stalking, looking for some great activities that toddlers can do.  Let me show you some of my favorite ideas!

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
