We love sharing activities for toddlers and with tons of inspiration for easy summer crafts, sensory play and even some summer themed science experiments toddlers can do there’s plenty to keep you active and most importantly, keep you having fun and making memories too.

Making (and playing with!) frozen flowers is probably one of our most popular sensory play ideas ever and it’s easy to see why – they just look so pretty! I’m a great believer that if you want kids to do something then you have to make it interesting and inviting for them and these frozen flowers are so pretty that I’m always quite tempted to have a play with them myself. Actually I enjoy getting this activity prepped in advance too which isn’t something that I’ll say about everything! While it does involve advance preparation it really only takes a few minutes as you’ll be able to see in the video I’ve made and it can keep your kids busy for ages. What’s more it’s something that my kids have returned to year after year, my daughter was a toddler the first time we made this but fast forward to now a few years later and it’s still an activity that both kids enjoy….
I’m not someone who asks for a lot for Mothers Day but a lie in and something handmade would always pretty close to the top of my list! I think handmade gifts are a lot nicer than shop bought ones and I know that most kids prefer getting creative to being dragged around a shop as well. Today I’m sharing some Mothers Day crafts for toddlers that will make fantastic gifts and keepsakes as well as Mothers Day cards that toddlers can make, perfect for ensuring a gorgeous handmade day full of lovely presents that will really mean something!

This easy colour mixing activity for St Patrick’s Day has lots going for it – it’s easy to set up, you can use it as sensory play for younger kids or as a way to teach colours to preschoolers and toddlers or you can look at mark making or letter formation with older kids. Plus it’s mess free – that’s got to be a good thing too!
