1. by popicles sticks lots of glue and some cotton balls thingys and paints and others things to make the best art competion... ehhhhhhhhh hope it help
2. Making friendship bracelets, making bead keychains, or younger children like to finger paint! Oh, I worked at this art festival last year. My booth was taking a piece of foil (harder and thicker foil than normal though) and "carving" designs with a popsicle stick then coloring it with sharpies on the other side. It's really cool because the designs stick out!

4. Try: Making pudding and use as finger paints, lots of flavors and colors out there. coloring sheets play dough (edible is more for the younger kids and not edible for the older kids.) Homemade bubble solution sewing cards --you make by punching holes in old greeting cards and using shoestrings or yarn to sew around with. Bird feeders---Spread peanut butter on paper tubes and rolled in bird seed. Or dry slices of old bread and cut a hole to hang it up with before spreading with peanut butter and coating with bird seed to hang outdoors.
