Compound Clay Critters: Use small amounts to make tiny animals.
Make Craft Stick Frames: Decorate with markers, 'jewels' etc
Have the kids decorate t-shirts to take home or make one for the birthday child. You can use fabric paint and put their handprints on them and add decoration around with the fabric paint to make it their own.
Play "Pin the ear on Van Gogh".
Spread large sheets of paper out on tables and give the kids washable markers to color with. Great method to keep them busy, then hang up the artwork to decorate the room.
- Pound wooden tomato stakes into the ground in a straight line across a portion of your backyard.
- String a ROLL of paper, 3 feet high/wide across the tomato stakes and attached with packaging tape on the backside.
It will create a painting canvas about 10 yards long. You should set up 3 (child-size) tables and fill with plastic pudding and Jell-O snack size cups (saved and cleaned) with 6 different colors of kids' paint at each table.
- Supply each child with his/her own paint brush and have a bucket of water on the ground next to each table for rinsing brushes.
- Have available wet rags (or you could use wipes) for the kids to wipe their hands, arms, whatever on. After they are all done, you'll have a 10 yard masterpiece. (The paint on the ground washes away with the next rain - no big deal or messy clean up.)
