Cut potatoes or sponges into shapes to stamp with
Buy wooden pieces to paint or decorate with markers (Michaels has a bunch for $1 each)
Rip tissue paper and glue it to wax paper to make a sun catcher
Buy a big thing of popsicle sticks and use them for little houses, frames that you decorate, stems for flowers, bottoms for stick puppets, etc
Use "real" materials, like gluing dirt on a picture of flowers growing or making a tree and gluing acorns on it
Buy a roll of butcher block paper (or anything long enough) and trace her, then let her decorate herself
My kids like crafts, but they like cooking projects more. Sometimes we combine the 2 by making playdough and other craft materials. Other times we do a cooking project we have to decorate, like dirt dessert.I've also seen a recipe for a blue jello ocean with gummy sharks, probably on the jello (kraft?) website.
