i wouldn't start kids crafts earlier than 18 months with glue and paper because they can put it in their mouth and after 18 months its a little less likely.
now even at 18 months they aren't gonna bring home anything great like if i give a group of 3 kids (one 18 months, one 3 and one 5 years) the same craft, an orange pumpkin and then some like triangles for the eyes and a mouth, the 18 month old is going to need to put the glue on, id put it on all at once and leave them to do it and whatever it looks like thats it. thats after I explain the art and stuff though.
i don't think they get much out of it maybe but the feeling of participation but if it makes your parents happy
