Toddler Spring Swap

Here is a list of suggested activities for our Spring Toddler Swap. If you click on the picture you should be sent to the website with directions and/or materials to download. You can replicate the suggested activity, modify it, or come up with something totally different. If you choose something totally different than something on the list let the coordinator know. Many of the activities selected for this swap are “spring/summer” themed activities. You don’t have to be crafty! If you can cut with scissors and glue.. you can do this! Each bag should cost around $1-$2 or less! Think recycled objects, dollar store, dollar spot, etc. Michaels, JoAnn’s & Hobby Lobby almost ALWAYS have 40% off coupons! Oriental Trade would also be a good spot to check! You may need to be creative when you brainstorm your activity to make it fit into the budget or into your current stock of stuff around the house. Use your judgment on how much of an activity to make and bear in mind some activities are more time consuming than others. Make a bag you would be excited to receive!

**Please keep in mind that many of the activities have small parts and may be a choking hazard to young children! They should be supervised with those activities! **
