The easiest craft to do with the youngest of children is the sticker collage. With all kinds of stickers and construction paper, your kids can have at least 30 minutes of fun.

All you need are:

Stickers, construction paper

Set up your child at a table or on the floor - anywhere with a flat surface. Give your child a piece of paper and the stickers and let them go.

At really young ages (between 1 year and 3 years), don’t expect much more than a random sticking. However, if you do this often and do a project with them, they may begin creating pictures out of the stickers - A sun at the top of the page and flowers along the bottom.

Buying the packages of 600+ stickers at the dollar store is great when you plan to do a craft like this, as the kids don’t have to worry about running out of stickers.

You can use plain printer paper, too, although it is quite a bit flimsier than construction paper. If you really want the creation to last, have them put the stickers on hard poster board like paper.

If you want to put the creation in a frame, just cover the picture completely with clear contact paper and place in the frame. Kids love to see their own artwork, so hang it in their room when its done.
