Art Supplies for little Kids: what to buy that's waterproof, easy and toddler friendly
Arts and crafts play a vital role in early childhood development, fostering fine motor skills, creativity, self-expression, and problem-solving. As an artist, it took me some time to find the right supplies for my kids—ones that let them explore freely without creating too much mess. Now, at ages 3 and 5, they can easily access their craft materials. While the mess is constant, I’m committed to nurturing their creativity. Here’s a list of toddler-friendly, washable, and easy-to-use supplies.
