Just a small  tip before you dive into all the craft activities. 

• Find a big box or container where you can store all the different kinds of material. Shoeboxes within a big box works best as you will be able to divide the crayons, cardboard, paintbrushes etc. It will make the task easier for you and will not let the little one's wait too long and get bored.
