How to make salt dough

1 cupful of plain flour (about 250g)

half a cupful of table salt (about 125g)

half a cupful of water (about 125ml)

Method
1. Preheat the oven to its lowest setting and line a baking sheet with baking parchment.

2. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the water and stir until it comes together into a ball.

3. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and shape into your chosen model. You can roll it out and cut out shapes, numbers or letters using biscuit cutters, or make any kind of model you can think of. We made some fruit and veg shapes plus cupcakes for a teddy bear's picnic.

4. Put your finished items on the lined baking sheet and bake for 3 hrs or until solid.

5. Leave to cool and then paint.

Top tips

* Simple designs work best, as the dough isn't sturdy until baked. If your child can't decide between a tall giraffe or a flatter gecko, for example, steer them towards the gecko. Also bear in mind that the bigger/fatter the model, the longer it will take to harden in the oven.

* Try using silicone baking sheets to roll out the shapes without the need for extra flour. This saves on cleaning up your kitchen. Silicone sheets are also a quick way to bake without needing baking parchment.

* If you want to make salt dough 'cupcakes' like we did, pop your shaped dough into cupcake cases before you put it in the oven and bake the pretend cakes in cupcake trays. The dough then sets firmly stuck to the paper cases, ready for painting with pretend icing, cherries or sprinkles.

* Baby's first Christmas Make a new family keepsake by rolling out a circle of salt dough and helping a child gently push their hand into it to make an imprint. Decorate as you'd like, adding the year to the back of the decoration.

* Tree shapes Cut out a single large tree shape, bake for a little longer (4-6 hrs), leave to cool, then paint green. Younger children will now be able to help decorate with star stickers, pieces of tinsel or pom-poms.

* Names on the tree For a fun family activity, each of you can add your name onto a decoration using a glitter pen.

Creative activities for 13 months to 2 years

A tremendous amount of growth and development takes place in the first 12 months of a child's life, according to Laura Phillips, PsyD, ABPdN, clinical neuropsychologist at the Learning and Development Center for the Child Mind Institute.

"By the end of the first year, toddlers are capable of pulling to stand, cruising, perhaps taking a few steps independently, picking up small objects using their pincer grasps, banging objects together, taking things out of a container, flipping switches, turning knobs, and imitating scribbling," Phillips says. One-year-olds also have an increased attention to language, and they can respond to simple requests through gesturing and babbling.

Because young toddlers are extremely curious, they learn about the world through exploration and play. Check out these six arts and crafts for 1-year-olds that encourage them to reach physical and cognitive milestones. They also provide an opportunity to talk, introducing new vocabulary and linguistic concepts.

"We know these concepts are best learned in the context of meaningful play with an attentive caregiver, as opposed to an otherwise meaningless, decontextualized way, such as through apps or even flashing toys," says Phillips. "These projects are also great opportunities for your child to experience your undivided attention, which helps reinforce the sense that 'I matter.'"

If you've ever handed a toddler some finger paint, a blank sheet of paper and watched him go wild, then you know the endless amount of fun crafts can bring. But art activities get little minds going in more ways than one. As your toddler's tiny hands experiment with mixing colors and creating swirls on the page, he won't just be entertained - he's also flexing important developmental skills, exploring his imagination and gaining a sense of independence by creating something of his very own.

Why arts and crafts are beneficial for toddlers

According to Christina Johns, M.D., a pediatrician and senior medical advisor for PM Pediatrics Urgent Care, toddler crafts benefit kids in ways big and small, starting with how they help refine both gross and fine motor coordination. Even if little ones aren't quite sure what they're making or are unable to follow all the steps without assistance, that's okay: They're still getting a lot more out of art projects than you might think.

"Working with their hands and practicing repetitive motions and activities also helps with focus and discipline," says Dr. Johns. For example, picking up objects helps refine their pincer grasp, she says.

Arts and crafts also give toddlers a sense of spatial orientation, a cognitive skill that can help with flexibility, dexterity and more. "Carrying supplies and cleaning up helps gross motor transferring skills," says Dr. Johns, adding that crafts also help young children make decisions and learn from their mistakes.

In other words: Encouraging any kind of creative play with toddler crafts can be beneficial, even if your little one isn't ready to do much yet. Just take things slow, and don't expect him to be making some elaborate paper mache masterpiece any time soon.

"Encourage your child to speak their mind and tell you, in their own words and way, what they are thinking and planning as they make decisions about arts and crafts - which colors to use, what to put where, etc.," says Dr. Johns. "This encourages verbal development and sentence formation."

Perhaps most importantly, toddler crafts give little ones a sense of accomplishment that boosts their self-esteem.

"Gaining confidence and feeling good about oneself is important for children at this age," says Dr. Johns, "so patience, praise and a positive attitude go a long way in making these activities go well."

The best crafts for toddlers

Not sure what makes an art project appropriate for toddlers? Think simple, says Dr. Johns.

"Toddlers should be focused on simple activities that aren't too complex or above their developmental level," she notes, explaining that choosing activities with just a few steps is best, since complex crafts might make little ones feel frustrated or cause them to lose interest. She also suggests using crafting elements that aren't too small or difficult to manipulate.

"Working with beads or buttons (while supervised) can help with counting skills, [while] gluing objects or painting (like color by number) can help with naming items, color selection, numbers and vocabulary," she says.

Above all else, make sure toddler art projects are fun - but also keep a close watch. You may have to jump in on a few tasks that involve steps like cutting to ensure your little one doesn't hurt herself or ingest anything while working with the materials.

Ready to dive in? Scroll on for fun and easy crafts for toddlers that you and your little one will love.

Homemade Stamps Craft

Toddlers love dipping stamps into ink pads or paint and leaving their mark all over the page. Jackie from Happy Hooligans suggests using common household items to make your own stamps, such as wine corks, bottle caps and toy blocks, which are easy for little hands to grab (and are likely laying around your house, anyway).

Paper Cup Flowers Craft
What you'll need:
This pretty flower craft makes for a fun afternoon activity, and it's also a great gift for Mom or Grandma. It involves painting a simple white paper cup with a small stone and then cutting the sides into strips to create the petals - though for toddlers, you'll need to step in with that part.

Caterpillar Suncatcher Craft

This caterpillar suncatcher offers toddlers a fun indoor activity. Using the colorful tops of extra Play-Doh lids, you can help guide your little one as he sticks them to the window, forming a happy little caterpillar. Then show him where to glue on the tiny caterpillar legs, ears and eyes to complete the friendly face.
What you'll need:
Under the Sea Preschool Plate Craft

In this craft, toddlers can turn an ordinary paper plate into a pretty blue fish bowl, complete with a friendly yellow fish that lives inside. Using tissue paper to make the seaweed and white beans for the sandy bottom will also create more of a sensory experience.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A great way to support babies' development is to provide safe opportunities for them to explore, experiment and discover new things. When introducing new food and textures, creative play provides them with the opportunity to engage in a range of new experiences, in a positive and fun way. Below are just a few ideas to get you started. As always, do ensure that your babies are supervised at all times during creative play.

1. Pop-up puppet

Skills developed: understanding of object permanence

What you'll need: a yoghurt pot or large paper cup; a straw; a small colourful toy (a finger puppet works best); some tape or glue.

Punch a hole in the bottom of the yoghurt pot or cup. Insert a straw through the hole, then glue or tape to the tip a small cuddly toy, plastic figure or, even better, a finger puppet (just slip it over the end of the stick and secure it with a bit of tape). Now you have a hand-operated pop-up toy! Pull the stick down so the toy or puppet is hidden inside the can or cup, then push it up suddenly when you want the jack-in-the-can to greet your babies.

Tip: Sharing the experience of the making activity helps to involve babies and there's often a greater response to playing with an item when participants in the game have been involved in its construction.

2. See-though bottle

Skills developed: dexterity, familiarity with colours

What you'll need: a clear plastic bottle (or several) with a tightly fitting screw-on lid; food colouring; washing-up liquid.

Fill the plastic bottle one-third full of water. Add a few drops of washing-up liquid and a few drops of food colouring. Close the bottle tightly and give it to the baby; show them how to shake it up and make eye-catching coloured bubbles. Make several bottles using different shades of food colouring. Try adding oil, glitter, etc. and use them to introduce your baby to the various colours. Show them how to roll the bottles across the floor.

3. Story boards

Skills developed: verbal, hearing

What you'll need: a felt board (available from educational toy shops and catalogues); sheets of coloured felt and scissors, or ready-cut felt shapes.

You can use traditional shop-bought felt shapes or make your own. A good place to start is with simple shapes and pictures you've cut out of magazines, and to tell a story.

Sit facing the baby with the felt board propped on your knees so it's clearly visible. Now tell your story! It could be about anything, but try to include the baby in the story as much as possible: use different voices, facial expressions, try whispering, and use pauses.

4. Box peek-a-boo

Skills developed: understanding of object permanence, fine motor skills

What you'll need: recycled boxes; teddy bear or other toys.

Playing with and hiding teddies around a room is a fun way to keep babies engaged. Use boxes to hide teddy in. Pretend the box is a house and lay teddy on a blanket to show he's sleeping. Using examples of activity in role play can support babies' understanding of what the activity is all about. My three boys came into the office the other day and transformed a box into a very cool house. It took them hours and they were so proud of their creation. Never underestimate the power of a box!
