20. My favourite that has been a never fail… Pull out a meter long of construction paper and lay it on the floor. Get a few paints in the middle. The kids sit around on all sides and draw on the area in front of them . Hang this up for everyone to see. The parents sign them and everyone clicks a picture to take it home as memories! Get inspired by this here.
21. Buy plain white tees and welcome the kids with a few paints and stencils. Design your own designer shirts! Stencil Process on Fabric!
22. May be get a Canvas? You can get some or make them too and inspire a Kandinsky Inspired Colour Study!
23. Buy a pack or two of crafts sticks ( a pack consists of a 100 on our side of the world) and some velcro dots easily available at most stationaries. Stick them and get the kids to make the biggest geometric design possible or let them play by themselves. Warning: We have done this and  this is addictive! Get the idea here.
24. How about fishing… with a magnet through rice? Make poles with magnets for each child before hand. The post contains a free printable to print your fishes too. Easy peezy!
