A three-year-old wants to stamp, dab, and pour, and doesn't really care what it turns into. Here are 22 crafts for 3-year-olds that the child can do with your hands off, each with a picture, supplies, and steps: apple stamping, a pom-pom painted bunny, and a coffee filter butterfly.

Expect five minutes of concentration and paint on one sleeve. A three-year-old can stamp a caterpillar from circles, fork paint a chick, and glue cotton balls into a snowman. These are the first crafts most families make, before scissors.

## Setting up a craft a 3 year old can do alone

Do the prep yourself, then step back. Cut the shape, pour the paint on a plate, clip the pom pom in the clothespin. Then the stamping, dabbing and tearing is theirs.

Stamping is the win at three: apples, potatoes, forks, sponges. One color at a time, a wet cloth on the table, and a big sheet of paper so misses still land.

Tearing paper takes a three year old a while and that is the point. Tear strips for the rainbow or bits for the pieces heart, and let the pile grow before the gluing starts.

Expect ten to fifteen minutes and a result that is mostly blobs. The caterpillar is a row of circles. The chick is a yellow splat with a beak. That is right for three.
