I love my job, I really do. But I love my little boy even more, so occasionally I come out from behind my PC to have some fun with my ever messy toddler. As such I’m always looking for new ideas on easy to set up (and clean up) DIY crafts to keep him active. I’ve gathered a short list of some of the best springtime crafts for inside and outside.
http://happyhooligans.ca/2012/03/19/sidewalk-paint/ - I’ve done the sidewalk paint with great success in the past. Depending on the time of year and your driveway the artwork your little one creates can stay in place for quite a while; but can be washed off with a hose.

http://www.cbc.ca/parents/2013/01/play-date-idea-homemade-paints.html - I haven’t been able to do this one yet, but it’s next on my list.
These two are a little more advanced, but I’m looking forward to trying them with my little nerdling in a couple months!
