We love sharing crafts for toddlers and have shared so many on our site that parents have loved creating with their kids and enjoying some special time together, I hope you’ll enjoy these easy and fun ideas just as much.

Spring Activities for Toddlers
In this round up you’ll find loads of spring craft ideas for one, two and three year olds.

Spring Books for Toddlers
We love sharing books together and it’s a great way to wind down after a busy arts and crafts session. My kids have always loved books on a theme and we’ve always used one of these bookcases to make it easier for them to find the ones they’d like to read. These spring themed books all look great fun and perfect for toddlers – which would your toddler choose to share with you?
