With two years old I think children can not make much craft so I suppose it must me the adult who does  it. I think children at that age can only draw, coluring but they cannot cut and paste at least not alone, if you are interested in crafts look for some good ones and make them to your child, he will learn from watching you. I know some websites about it :

All our kids have loved playing modelling with salt dough. Its good and inexpensive and can be made at home, and when it has dried out they love to put colour on their creations using (non-toxic) paints. The little 2yr olds don't need to make anything recogniseable, they enjoy squishing it about  but love to practise rolling sausage shapes and so on. They don't need paintbrushes to start with either - ours used finger paints and got gloriously messy. Soon they will tell you that they have made ie a dog - car - man - for you to admire 
Finger painting is also good - they love doing hand and foot prints - you need to have this activity outside or in a washdown environment - and preferable timed near to bathtime
Its really good for getting them not to mind getting their hands messy - that way they learn about the opposite - keeping clean.
Both these activities have built in face painting experience as a bonus

My dd loved gluing things at this age.  We did crafts with cotton balls ( to make a sheep), noodles, toilet paper rolls & other miscellaneous items from around the house.

muse loves crafts
at 11 months old my mom start telling me a should start coloring with her
i thought she was way to young but my mom would do it with her
she started coloring by herself at one year old
and by 15 months could hold a color correctly
so i started paint with her using poster paint and adult size paint brushes
at 18 months we start gluing colorful foam shapes on card stock
and make collages one of are favorite things to do   
i go though old baby magazines with her and she picks out pictures she likes
then she takes stick glue and glues it herself on to a large paper
she makes really beautiful pieces
playdoh is a big hit too

all this art stuff has given her really good control of her hands and fingers
so next week when she turns two we will begin write exercises

Hi there, my son is three and a half and we follow the first school letter of the week program.  I am inclined to go for the pictures that can be cut out after painting or colouring.  In this way the end product looks really neat and he is just so pleased with himself.  I cut them out - he is getting the hang of scissors, and do let him have a turn with some of the art work.  I then display them in his bathroom and bedroom, and rotate them as we do new work.

Hope it all works out for you - some great websites have been recommended!

As the one year old in the picture has shown me,
Painting can be a great deal of fun,
and the creations children and babies come up with
deserve to hang in a museum for the originality and uniqueness
just be prepared for a mess to clean up afterward

I have tried to tackle sewing with the three year old girl it
is challenging though, and the seams on one dress we have been
working on have to be taken out many many times and the project
is taking much longer, but there is nothing in the world like the
smile on her face when she realizes she accomplished something
incredible

I think children can accomplish any challenge we put them up
against the problem is we are afraid that they will not be able to

hey

What i think is that one should never stop the child even in case they draw lines on walls.Some parents may not like making walls dirty, however in case the kid is stopped doing that, in such  case, the parents may be supressign his hidden talent.

The clay of different colours can be given to child, and different shapes can be made through them, i am sure the child will like that.

As i have treid the same with my child, he liked the same very much.
I hope yours will also like it.

 

[Preetypreeti]

Yep 

Seema I feel the very same way ...Dont stop  him/her doing so.Though you can paste some sheets of paper upto his proximity.
This habbit infact makes him more creative.Somewhere I have read
when child starts doing this ,that means some good chemical changes are stimulating his brain.

Anyways family makes a "house" a "home".
So be patiant next time when your child draws.he can be next M F Hussain.

My daughter is only 14 months old and so far she is only starting to colour in - we gave her crayons at 12 months and she can use them fairly well now though I actually find a pen is better as it makes marks more easily and with less pressure.

When she is a bit older I plan on painting a wall black to make a blackboard that she can draw on with chalks - hopefully this will prevent any other walls from getting messed up - I actually do think that children need to learn suitable places to use their artistic skill, but then I also plan on providing plenty of space for it (including an area of the walls)
