Hi all,
I have family coming over for a week and I am looking for easy craft ideas for our 3 yr old children. Any ideas?

Thanks!

You could try homemade playdough. ( I'll find th link I posted before for you if you like) Kids just love this! I have 2 nephews that are this age and they do

Also buy bubbles...kids love making bubbles. Colouring books are also good.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I did look up those nuddles on the net and found they were a biodegadable/non toxic craft item made of cornstarch.

Thanks again both of you!

You don't have to spend a lot to keep 3 year olds busy. I would try picking getting them some sidewalk chalk, bubbles (target has a great bubble machine for $10), puzzles and stuff like that and you should be set!

When I was a kid, I liked making pictures out of macaroni and painting them. Little kids don't have tough aesthetic standards.

you could make liquid chalk. Its cheap and fun. All you need is water, corn starch, food coloring and some spray bottles. It don't take much starch. And if there is snow on the ground its fun to spray color on the snow.

I find that crayola.com has a lot of neat craft ideas as well.
