Hi everyone, I'm looking for Internet resources for things to do with
my two year old - arts, crafts, ideas for nature etc. Can I get
spammed with a bunch of resources?

Anyone in here in South Florida by the way?

Thanks
Laura in Miami

I used to use the internet for craft resources, now, I find it much more
fun to go to a craft store and get whatever looks like it might be
interesting or fun.

A few months back we got a whole bunch of pipe cleaner things of all
sizes (the huge ones are especially fun, even for older kids). We got
them for Marguax specifically, nobody else. She spent weeks playing
with those things, she still has a few piles of unused ones and used
ones that get pulled out and shaped and reshaped. It was about $15
worth of pipe cleaner stuff that's lasted for months and months.

One of the best resources we've used throughout the years is a recipe
book of messy stuff, perfect for a 2 yro. The Ultimate Book of Kid
Concoctions

/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226206580&sr=1-1> It's not an internet
resource, but we've used it for crafty stuff more than any other crafty
book we have! It's not stuff you make and keep, it's tangible, and
edible, or usable and disposable, which I prefer!

These were written for Montana in the winter, but some would still work:

Some wouldn't be fun or safe for a two year old but others would work
fine!
