Activities for One Year Olds

[gravy_train]

I'm looking for some ideas for craft activities for one year olds. We go outside everyday, and play with our toys where I try to teach them different concepts. We also read a lot and I sing to them and put on puppet shows (huge hit). I'd love to start doing some crafts with them, but tried painting last week with homemade paint and it went straight into their mouths. I'm afraid that sensory tubs filled with rice or pasta or lentils would end in the same way and pose a choking hazard. Also, I loathe the idea of wasting food.
Any ideas for little crafts that I can engage these little ones in without it becoming a meal or snack for them???
Thanks!
