Here are some things that will keep them amused for a while

	Kids birthday parties - for a girl's birthday you can gather edible items for the girls to make their own edible jewelry to take home - like using lifesaver candies.
	Candle Holders - Great arts and crafts ideas for younger kids also to sell at garage sales would be making wood candleholders to hang on walls. Using a skill saw, supervision depending on age. I was in the 7th and 8th grade when I started. Carving out small designs out of wood, hearts, bears, various shapes and then drilling a hole in the top for a small candle, then gluing it to a small plaque. Great source of income from garage sales. My grandparents even started a wood hobby as extra income for their retirement and have a garage sale two or three times a year at home between travels. Huge sellers was making tulips out of wood, painting them, and putting a small metal rod in the bottom to stick in the ground. Those things sold like hotcakes.
	Gluing hard pasta to construction paper; for kids 4 to 6
	Making plaster masks of other kids faces by putting gauze and plaster in layers in the subjects face, and then painting them (the masks that is); usually for older kids 12 to 18
	Calendars out of children's artwork from school – kids
	Make embroidery floss bracelets/anklets by braiding or knotting the floss
	Winter for children - Make snowmen out of marshmallows and use jimmies, rope licorice and other candy to decorate.
	Sea chest -- I bought the little wooden boxes from Wal-Mart for $1 each. The kids painted them; glued seashells on them, and then decorated them with super glue. They looked beautiful, and they could store things in them.
	One of my favorites wasn't my idea, but it worked out so well. It was for the letter F. We painted 2 cheap paper plates -- one green and one red. When they were dry we glued them together with the painted sides out. Then we folded them so that the red was on the inside. On the fold I cut a large slit. The children made huge eyes to put on the top half of their frog. Then a party blower went in the slit in the back so that each frog could stick out his tongue to catch flies.
	Rainy day project-making play dough
