Free Toddler Games

Here are 3 quick and easy free toddler games you can make using craft foam and foam stickers.

A teepee or card table play house from Cheap Gifts for Kids would be an excellent toddler gift.

Look under all the kids gifts ideas for other things that would make good toddler gifts, or that can be adapted for them.

Free Toddler Games

Here are 3 quick and easy free toddler games you can make using craft foam and foam stickers.

Sippy Cup Leash

For this sippy cup leash, you need ribbon, velcro, and a small piece of shelf liner. Attach the leash to the stroller and no more lost sippy cups. Give it with a set of sippy cups.

Stick Horse

Every little cowboy needs a stick horse! This one is made with felt, stuffing, and a dowel.

Playhouse from Disposable Diaper Boxes

See this great idea for a playhouse from disposable diaper boxes. Paint it or use Mod Podge to cover it with brown paper bags. Use a marker to draw lines for bricks or boards.

Hula Hoop Dome Tent

With 5 large hula hoops and a king size sheet, you can stitch this hula hoop dome tent.

Kids Play Stove

Use these stickers or draw burners on a plastic storage bin to make a play stove for a toddler to pretend to cook. Clean up by storing the cooking pieces in the bin.

Mailbox Inspiration

Make this clever mailbox to go with your mailbag and post office. Everything a youngster needs for delivering mail.

Cinch Bag Backpack

This cinch bag backpack is quick to stitch and can be made small enough for a toddler to use.

Hammering Station

Make a hammering station by cutting several layers of thick foam sheets to fit snuggly into a wooden tray. Make a hammer with blocks of wood and table legs, and golf tees for pegs. Stitch a sturdy bag to store the pieces.

Velcro Catch Ball

With winter knit gloves, sticky back velcro, and small plastic balls you can make this really cute velcro catch ball game.

Rainbow Bath Time

Using Craft foam, cut shapes to stick on the bathtub sides (foam sticks to the tub when wet). Or buy packs of fun foam shapes and letters – and make bath time a fun rainbow bath time.

Toy Car Clutch

A great way for a toddler to carry his cars with him, this toy car clutch is made from an old pair of jeans. It also holds crayons and paper.

Felt Board

Make a felt board using a large piece of cardboard and felt. Make shapes with felt or craft foam to use on the felt board.

Use cut out family photos or people cut from magazines with sandpaper glued to the back.

Humpty Dumpty

Make a soft Humpty Dumpty with detachable arms and legs (you CAN put him back together again!).

ABC and Number Books

Make a special All About Me book for your toddler, or one of familiar items to help him/her learn to count. Or make one about grandparents or cousins he or she doesn’t see often.

Gingerbread Man Paper Dolls

Draw around a cookie cutter on brown craft foam to make a gingerbread man paper doll. Draw around the cookie cutter to make clothes from colored craft foam.

Or cut out a brown felt gingerbread man and glue to cardboard. Cut out. Make and decorate clothes with felt. The clothes will adhere to the felt gingerbread man.

Paper Dolls for Toddlers

Print paper dolls for toddlers onto felt or magnetic printer paper and use with a felt board or cookie sheet.

Pot Holder Quiet Book

A great idea for a pot holder quiet book, the “pages” are already made with pot holders. Just add your fun ideas to each page and put them together.

Quiet Book

Ideas for fun pages in this quiet book, that have felt parts. Kids will love this.

Cardstock Busy Book

Laminate the pieces and use velcro to make them stick to the pages for this cardstock busy book.

More pages.

5 Little Snowmen Play Set

Make 5 snowmen and their hats out of felt, and use a blue felt piece for the background for this 5 Little Snowmen play set. Tots can build snowmen on the blue background.

Giant Lacing Beads

Buy foam swim noodles at the dollar store and cut into giant lacing beads 3 inches or so in size. Tie yarn to a pipe cleaner “needle” and it’s ready to lace.

Use the foam pieces for building tall structures, too.

Lacing Beads and Photo Puzzle

Make these 2 great gifts for toddlers: lacing beads and photo puzzle. For the beads cut a square dowel and a round dowel into short pieces and drill a hole in the center. Sand and paint.

Animal Sewing Cards

Here are printables for a dozen different animal sewing cards. To make them sturdier, cut out each animal and use white glue to glue it to another piece of cardstock. (I often use previously used file folders for backing.) The glue plus the extra piece of cardstock will make the animal sewing cards much sturdier.

Placemat Puzzles

Find inexpensive placemats with pictures young children like to make placemat puzzles. Cut into a few large pieces for your child to put back together.

Rabbits and Carrot

Stitch a Felt Bunny family and then stitch a carrot for them to live in. Rabbits and carrot are a great play idea for little ones.

The Three Little Pigs House

Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

Little Red Riding Hood

Finger Puppets

Fun animal finger puppets can be easily made with felt, and are perfect for toddlers. Make the pouch look like a little house.

Story Stones

This interesting idea would make a great gift for a toddler. He/she could help you create stories with these story stones.

Lacing Cards

Make these easy, sturdy lacing cards using a dollar store wall sign. Drill holes around the edge and add shoe laces for stitching.

Lacing Cards

Print out several of these lacing cards on cardstock and glue to cereal box cardboard. Laminate and punch holes for kids to lace.Make laces with tape tipped yarn, or buy colorful shoe laces.

Or glue a kid friendly greeting card shut and punch holes around the edge.

Geometric Art Puzzle

For a geometric art puzzle, cut 5 inch squares of 1/4 inch hardboard and paint them as shown. Lay the squares together to form interesting patterns. You could make the squares larger or smaller.

Family Magnets

Laminate family photos and add a magnet to the back to make family magnets. Put the magnets on the refrigerator and talk about the family to your youngster when you use the photo. Whenever he/she meets family members they won’t be strangers.
