    2yrs is still young for purpose driven crafts, in my opinion but my son is only 7months

    I would think coloring, creative things that don't have ann expected outcome would be good to build creativity without stunting due to perception of not getting it right.

    Finger painting was my favorite thing as a kid. It is messy, creative, and non-dangerous.

    I'm a stay at home dad so I know you will do awesome because you know your kid the best.

    Hobby lobby and other stores have some great ideas too that might be able to direct you as to the age appropriatness. But again you know your kid the best and what he/she is safe with etc. as far as scissors what not.

    It is christmas time so some homemade cards would be a nice thought.
