Craft Kits for Toddlers

My girls are crazy into crafting and we almost always have a project (or two) going at any given time. It’s a fun way for kids to be creative and occupied, and I wanted to share some of the best craft kit options for little kids.

From monthly subscriptions to ones you can buy one at a time at the store, here are our favorite options for the creative kiddos in your life. These remain a favorite kids activity, both for one year old activities and younger toddlers and big kids.

Kiwi Co Koala Crate

We love the Kiwi Co Koala Crate, which is a monthly craft box subscription that combines STEM, art, and hands on projects to deliver education and fun in an easy to use package.

I love that everything we need for the projects are included and that she can look at the illustrated instructions to help figure out how to do them.

We recently did a box that had a bug theme, so we made bug wings, a little ladybug bag, and played a bug matching game. She’s used these almost daily since then too, which is a nice added benefit to the subscription.

These craft box subscriptions are a great gift for grandparents to share with the kids—especially since they keep on giving throughout the year—and are such a fun way to keep the kids entertained…and to mix things up while spending all of this time at home.

In each box:

  • 2-3 projects to spark learning through play
  • Illustrated instructions in a guide for parents with additional inspiration
  • A magazine for the kid with extended stories, puzzles, recipes, and more
  • Online projects with hands-on ideas and activities for fun at-home

TIP: This is a subscription, so you subscribe to get a monthly box. There’s almost always a 30% off code to use if you sign up for their newsletter, so be sure to look on their site before signing up.
