dd is 15mo and i'd love for her to be scrawling on the christmas cards i make, but she gets bored very quickly and prefers eating the crayola wax crayons (should i be worried about that by the way?) am i expecting too much?
when did you get crafty with your lo's?

At this age I would let her do what she wants for as long as she wants.
DS was pretty good at following instructions and we made snowman pictures with glue stick and cotton wool when he was 19 months.
DD is 2.10 and still does everything her own way. Beautiful creations that don't look like anything.

Dd glued and painted from a quite early age but, she had quite a good concentration span at an early age. Ds didn't because you couldn't keep him still for long enough, he would have been eating the paint/glue at 15 ms too. So nothing to worry about there.
Just try different things and when she gets bored just let it go. Our local toddler group used to have a session for handpainting for young toddlers. You paid 10p for a blank t towel and you helped your dc 'handprint' them.
