We put the art supply (paint, pudding, shaving cream, wet jello) in a bag and they can squish away. my 2 year olds really like playing with crayons, markers, and chalk on paper. Guess it depends on the kid
We do all kinds of arts and crafts for ages 1 on up. Today we made penguins. It was not a huge deal for me to take time cutting for my 2 year old. The one on one time was nice.
I think everyone needs to decide what is best for them and their program. I love the interaction and to see where they glue the eyes and beaks.
Some want to pass out the stuff for crafts and walk away.
