Art ideas and toys for noncrafty mom
Figured on this rainy day we most likely will be in. My 4 yr old loves art. We have this mosaic set he loves with stickers he's playing with now he got for his bday. We have tons of crayons, coloring books, paper, stamps and stickers.
I'd just love to get more crafty ideas and toys for my boys. Although my 2 yr old could care less and has no patience to sit and draw. 
Mostly for my 4 yr old. I always see lots of stuff for girls and not as much for boys.
If you've seen stuff at Target, Toy Genius, etc please let me know. Always good to have in the house.

Google sensory bins. I used to sit DD down with a washtub full of beans & measuring scoops & she was in heaven!

I got this for DD for xmas and she just opened it. She's 2.5 and loves art projects. It's really cute. It kept her busy for a while.

I will give them either small beads (like the ones you can put in your hair) or Fruit Loops and pipe cleaners and let them make bracelets.

Re: Art ideas and toys for noncrafty mom
i buy packs of rectangular foam sheets and buy the foam cut out stickers. I have a jar of googly eyes. I try to pick a theme and we make a picture centered around that theme (farm, car, garden, etc.)
