If you have a toddler, you know how tricky some of those afternoon hours can be. I don’t know how or why it happens, but around 4:30 in the afternoon my sweet little girl turns into a completely different person and making it to dinner suddenly becomes the hardest couple of hours of the day. That’s why having a few crafts for toddlers is a lifesaver! With just a little preparation, you’ll be able to pass those tricky times with your toddler while letting them create at the same time. Check out some ideas below.
