Craft focused activities and gifts for toddler

[RedBlueDotDotDot]

My 18month old loves craft based activities at nursery. We were thinking of getting her a little table for Christmas for such activities or maybe an easel. Any suggestions on craft focused gifts?

At that age they eat a lot of things still so I'd be careful. Perhaps some pom poms to glue under supervision?

Lots of paper and paints for hand prints, foot prints. You can probably get a big roll to go with the easel. Robust brushes and non-spill pot for the paint.

Apron!

My dd had an ikea lack table and a Billy bookcase for her craft stuff for years.

For now I'd get some block paint, brushes, sugar paper, pipe cleaners, Pom poms, gummed shapes, scissors, glue stick, sellotape and dispenser, glitter glue.

Paint sticks, less messy than paint, but still very satisfying.

You can get paint pads that are great for doing handprints. They just put their hand on the pad and then on the paper. Done.

Water magic pen kits are good for that age - just watch the lids

Reusable sticker sets. Galt do a great first stickers set

Pva glue. Plastic glue spreader and lots of coloured / textured paper and tissue paper. Embrace the mess.

Playdough also good as long as you don't have a child that puts everything in their mouth
