The triplets love crafts, and I try to do one with them every day, sometimes are more successful the others! If you’re new to my blog here are some of the crafts the kids and I have done over the years:
- Pudding Painting (scroll through the pictures to see the pudding painting pics!)
- Finger Painting
- Playdoh
One of the triplets favorite crafts is using BINGO dobbers to paint with! Where did I get the idea of BINGO dobbers for crafts? On my cruise a few months ago, my cousins and I went to play BINGO almost daily. On the last day of the cruise people were tossing their dobbers in the trash, I on the other hand had big plans for them! I happily collected TONS of bingo dobbers from fellow patrons! No lie, I probably packed 30 bingo dobbers home with me!
I get the dobbers out, the kids grab the ones they want and then go at it! Sometimes they ‘dob’ other times they ‘paint’ with them, either way they have fun! We also have a big box of stickers, I dumb the box out and they have a hay day with adding stickers to their masterpieces!
Dobbers are a CHEAP and fun craft activity for young kids, especially if you don’t want to deal with the messiness of real paint! I bought several lots of stickers on Ebay, just random stickers. Doesn’t matter what the stickers are, they just love sticking them on paper! Oddly enough, toddlers always seem to stick their stickers on top of each other…strange!
We’re always looking for craft ideas, what are some of your favorite kids crafts?!

I actually bought a set of those dobbers. The manufacturers call them something else and market them to unsuspecting non-bingo playing moms who naively fork over way too much money for them.
I used to make edible play dough for my kids (peanut butter candy). If you don't have any peanut allergies to worry about, that's a fun activity.
We also liked painting with water outside. Just give the kids a bucket and some clean house paint brushes and watch them go! Add a few bubbles and they can wash all of their toys, too.
how fun is that. I am hosting a Round Robin event this Friday if you want to link up this great idea..
dobbers...I've always wondered what those things were called. Learn something new every day!
I love that the triplets are right around my own little one's age... lots of fun ideas! Thanks for sharing! :)

LOVE the craft idea! I am out for Bingo Daubers!!
I found your blog on Tuesday Tag-Along!!
My goodness yes -- what IS that with the putting stickers on top of each other? Surely we have spent money somewhere supporting research into that one!
That's such a good idea!! Where do you get the bingo markers from? I want to try this with my kids!
I'm your newest follower!! Hopefully you can visit my blog and do the same back!
