In the beginning, I try to find the simplest activity for 2-3 years old children, which is the activity that children can do made by themselves.

There is wifi in my house, therefore I can print them out from my smartphone directly. The first craft I choose to download the animal paper folding pattern, I printed them out and let the kids fold them together. Actually, this website is really good because there are many animals to choose from with the beautiful patterns of real animals. There is nothing much to do, just use a white A4 paper to print out. (The fastest way I would recommend is you can download and print them before the day you will do this activity.)
This is a good activity because the kids can use their skills in a various way.
