I Love these awesome arts and crafts ideas for kids and I think your kids will too! Quick and easy activities are the necessary for young children because  there is absolutely no guarantee a toddler will give your activity the time of day. I picked cardboard crafts because most people have boxes at some point and plan to throw them away, so why not get another use out of it first? That’s one reason why I love to do crafts that can be used over and over again like my cardboard car matching game or Chicka Boom Boom Tree Craft I did my my son using poster board. Below I share a collection of cardboard activities that I view as simple, quick, fun, creative, and even sometimes educational 🙂 Enjoy! Cardboard Crafts They love doing colorful crafts so I thought it would be great to talk about some great rainbow crafts kids would love today and share the rainbow activity we did at home! These activities inspire fun, creativity, and learning so I hope you enjoy!! Check out this DIY craft project out at Keep Toddlers Busy 2. These Cardboard Doll House are so fun and creative!
