Hi, Welcome back to Toddler Craft. Please subscribe to my Toddler Craft newsletter. Sign up to the left. It's full of more fun activities, parenting information and crafts! Thanks for visiting!

For the Art Contest some have expressed a desire for some inspiration.  So I thought I would pull some of the past creations here at Toddler Craft out of the archive for some help!

• The Shaving Creme Activity and the Shaving Creme Activity Revisited can make a great creation!
• The Bird House can be a beautiful creation and useful too!
• Pre School Learning Games can be artistic too!! Have your child create a picture and write a story.  Check out the post for template and details.
• Create a Planter – another artistic, yet useful activity!!
• Learn Letters while you create!!
• Create a Dragon Fly – There are many items like this at the dollar store and Michaels.  Kids love to get artistic with them!
• FINGER PAINT!! Roll up the sleeves and get creative!  All you need is some paper and paint!

I look forward to seeing your creations!!  Make sure to put the links to your posts in the Mr. Linky on the Contest Prize page. Check out the Contest Page for details on how to enter.
