I tried to select crafts that are perfect for preschoolers and toddlers (children aged 4 and under) and simple enough that they can create most of the crafts on their own. Toddler snow crafts are simple, easy to make, and fun and engaging.
These crafts can be adjusted if you have older children. You can substitute materials or allow your older child to do more of the cutting or gluing on their own.
