Tips for Crafting with Preschoolers

• Go washable. Always use washable paints, markers, and glue for a stress-free experience.
• Prep in advance. Cut out shapes, lay out materials, and keep everything within reach.
• Praise effort, not perfection. Every scribble and smudge is a masterpiece in the making.
• Take pictures. Capture the mess and the magic—those moments matter.
