50 + Art Projects for 3-5 Year OldsI have decided to take a little inventory on my blog to make sure it’s as helpful and resourceful as possible.  As it turns out, I have over 50 art projects for kids ages 3 to 5 that are super duper amazing and awesome right here.  I took some time to round them all up so you have all 50 plus ideas at your fingertips.  I divided them into sub categories too so you can easily scan through and get  an idea for your next art project.  I’ll keep adding to the list as time passes on.  Can’t believe both my girls soon will be in this category.

*Note* I put a little star next to the ones that are super duper easy for all the non crafty moms out there.  Hope that’s helpful.   I promise these are doable and you’ll feel so crafty afterwards.  Plus your kids will be psyched!  Just have fun with it.  Oh, and if you are a non crafty mom and disagree with my evaluation of easiness, please oh please let me know in the comments.  I’d love to hear from you!
