Important notes:

1. All toddlers learn from doing with a little guidance. So let your little one be creative and take the lead.

Let them cut out their own things even if they struggle. Let them draw their own interpretation of what they think the picture should look like.

"They learn so much from trying new things and experimenting"


2. When your child gets involved with any toddler craft activities they should be "supervised at all times".
