Our Favorite Arts and Crafts for Toddlers

Pablo Picasso famously said that “every child is an artist.” While little ones of all ages illustrate his point, it is particularly prevalent among toddlers, a demographic known for their bottomless enthusiasm and boundless creativity. In order to foster your tot’s artistic flair, we’ve put together a collection of gifts for every type of tiny artist.

For little ones who love scribbling, we recommend some star-shaped crayons and grab-able (and washable) markers. Jumbo brushes and fun sponges are perfect for petite painters. Miniature photographers will love turning mommy or daddy’s smartphone into an easy-to-hold (and difficult to break) camera, while squishy playing dough will keep little sculptors busy for hours.

Compiled with both tiny hands and big imaginations in mind, this selection of art supplies is an excellent way to encourage your favorite artist to stay creative.

In this collection of arts and crafts for toddlers, you’ll find a gift for every type of tiny artist.
