The sun is out and the holidays are edging ever closer which means that I’m allowing myself to share this round up of summer crafts for toddlers – hurray! We love sharing easy craft ideas that you can do with your kids and while summer is the perfect opportunity to get outside and play sometimes it’s also nice to have a few easy crafts as a back up if you need a bit of chill out time at home (or *whispers* if the weather is less than awesome) In this round up you’ll find lots of sun crafts, flowers, watermelons and loads more easy toddler crafts to keep you both happy….

Free Sun Templates (Printable PDF)
Whether you are looking at weather crafts, summer or just need a quick and simple activity for the kids these free sun template is a great option giving you a quick way to set up a craft for your child without the stress of making something that looks like it’s meant to.

I’m also sharing two different designs so that your child can choose their favourite – or you can use them to try out different ways of decorating them….
