super mum ZF!

Is Miss A old enough to use scissors? Could make snowflakes (fold a circle of paper in half then in half again and make little cuts out of the folded side). If she can't use scissors you could do that bit, then they could just decorate them with glitter/paint etc. Tie a length of string onto one side and you can hang them up. Maybe more of a christmas/winter project though!
Finger painting or potato painting?

She likes to 'TRY' and use scissors, might go out and buy her the kiddie ones that only cut paper.. she's 2 going on 10 and thinks she can do all these things on her own.. although she does do a pretty good job.

Ohhhh Potato painting... see ladies THIS is why i come on here... for my sanity.
We made DP a 'replica' of his ute the other night, out of an egg carton and bottle tops.
DD also made his work ladder out of pipe cleaners, his numberplate and a toolbox was so cute.

We're really getting into the craft stuff more now that DD has turned two!! It's lots of mess but FUN!

I had a very 'crafty' day on Tues this week - first we did some colouring with crayons and pencils, then later on the paints came out and we painted with the easel and paints AND then in the afternoon the craft bits and pieces came out and we got glue everywhere and DD made something for DH when he arrived home! Very cute.

Did some playdough today.....

Been on the websites you've suggested - some good ideas!

What's potato painting?? off to google LOL

Wow I love all these ideas can't wait til Moo is a bit older so we can get into it. He loves drawing with his crayons at the moment.

You'd be surprised at what he would already enjoy hun.
DD2 was only 1 in Jan and she loves the painting and helping put stickers on well everything
I also find i am trying different things with them and figuring out which things they like.

I saw on Huggies site there are a stack of age related activities to do. We're going to do the pen holder and the tie for DH, the box train, edible artwork and egg carton finger puppets. And I just painted a nappy box and going to decorate it to make DD's "Crafty Box". Play School's site has colouring-in sheets that you can print out too.

Great thread

Ohhhhhh you might need to bring a list when we have our craft day my love.
DD1 likes watching Mr Maker on ABC2 so i might check out things there aswell, will check out the huggies website too... YAY
I think i like craft more than the girls sometimes.

I can bring a list, and some supplies.....but will take me a little while to collect three nappy boxes for the train! But in saying that, it'll be a few weeks yet before I can get to you for our craft day, but it's something I'm looking forward to

ETA - Just checked out the photos. AWESOME craft station!!!!!!!! Oh I so want one.....but can someone give me a bigger house first
