I live in Ohio, and this time of year is SOO cold and snowy, we don't really make it out much during the day. I was wondering if anyone had any craft ideas you've tried or that you've seen that my son and I can try. He is only 2.5, so it cant be that complicated,lol.
thanks!k

you could squirt some shaving cream onto construction paper (or the wall above the tub)and fingerpaint with it. My kids love that. I'll also look for the recipe for peanut butter playdough and get back to you with that.

Try familyfun.com . They have a lot of ideas based on the kids ages and how much time you want to spend doing it.

Hi, Kate,

Here's a quick craft my kids NEVER get tired of. Draw a picture on white paper with a white crayon. You have to put the crayon on pretty thick. Then give your son watercolors and a paintbrush. He can go wild with the paint, it won't stick to the crayon, and voila, he'll have created a beautiful picture.

Have fun,
Kelli
