They make some awesome Crayons from Crayola that are specifically designed for toddlers. If you go to the crayola.com website they have lots of Ideas on there and you can pick age specific and what materials you have on hand, then it will give you a list of activities!
ALSO, you can look around online for toddler activities. Good luck and good job being a good interactive mom!
Finger paint, play dough, puppets with lunch bags, bubbles. I use this websites a lot:

The key is to do it with her. She will enjoy any craft more if you help her and have fun. Good luck
You could bake cookies (even just the cut and bake from the store) or make rice krispies squares. You can make jello (if you use only 1/2 of the hot water and pour onto a cookie sheet, you can use cookie cutters to cut it after it is set).
Stamps and ink pad
Stickers
Play doh (homemade or store bought).
Finger painting with pudding is fun.
String cheerios or fruit loops on shoelace licorice.
colour,scribbling,paper boats etc.
Finger painting, making cards for people, baking muffins is always fun…basically whatever you do with her, don’t be afraid to make a mess. I find when I’m doing crafts with my 2 year old, she has more fun if I’m not worrying about the mess.
It can always be cleaned up later.
go to the craft store and buy some Popsicle sticks, glue and some non toxic paints. you guys can make whatever you want with them and paint them. it will let her be creative.
or
get some paper plates, some heavy duty glue and paint/glitter, and cheapo beans. put the beans onto a plate. glue another plate on top and let it dry. or for faster results staple the plates together and make sure no staples are sticking out. glue is safer. once that is done, paint and decorate & let that dry. then she can shake them and make music. it may also teach her how to wait and follow rules as well as being creative.
my cousin buys cheapo fuzzy craft puff balls and assorted craft things for her kids and lets them make whatever they want.
hope something works and that you have fun.
You can paint with her
