Preview: Find inspiration and ideas in simple activities and crafts for 3 year olds.
In a constant search for new developmental activities, I looked for specific crafts for preschoolers. As I found many beautiful craft ideas and beneficial activities, this time I focused on Waldorf inspired crafts. Mostly inspired by the natural materials and Waldorf books that connect to nature.
I personally love Waldorf philosophy because of many things, but one sticks the most:
Play is viewed as the work of the young child.
That statement is so powerful and so true that I keep it always on my mind.
Secondly, magic and fantasy play important role in teachings and activities. Together with storytelling and make-believe play, the child develops their imagination in a magnificent way.
If you are sharing the same thoughts and passion for kids’ teachings, crafts, and activities, you will love this list of activities and crafts for 3-year-olds.
