I don't LOVE the mess (not going to lie!) but all of the joy that the creativity sparks is my absolute favorite. I am lucky to have two kiddos that love it as much as I do.

Hopefully these simple crafts inspire you and your littles to make a little something. We have been loving allowing Zoe to pick out a craft before a play date and putting out all the supplies and snacks the night before. I plan on sharing a little video soon on what we keep stocked, what I put away on the shelves and what I keep out for them.
