How about taking old magazines or newspaper rolling up and cutting down from the top about half way to create strips. Then pull the paper up from the centre. Fix, you have a tree or a pompom (like cheerleaders type) to dance with. Magazine are better because they are more colourful.
Also bottles with patterns on can be used as an instrument if you run a stick along the sides so not just shakers.
You can make a simple puppet from an egg box. cut off the top and paint as the body. use some egg cup pieces as feet and another for the head. (the children can just paint them and stick on eyes). You can string them together and fix to lolly sticks. This provides so much for the children's development. Not only is it an art and craft activity, but also can encourage imagination, language and be used in role play afterwards. It can also fit in with a theme IE for say farm animals the children can make cows, sheep(stick on cotton wool) and pigs etc
Use card board tubes from cling wrap, foil etc as telescope for pretend play.
Roll up magazine pages tightly and glue. When dry cut into small lengths. Then thread on lengths of wool to make bracelets and necklaces. Great for hand eye co-ordination.
Help the children to make colourful envelopes from old magazines to send cards for Christmas.
Hope these help, always love finding new thing to make with the kids :)

Get plastic bottles cut the top off (use for funnels with sand play) and cut the bottom off (good for mini paint trays) you then cut the bottle into 1 inch circle strips. Then get plastic carrier bags ideally the flimsy blue and white or pink and white ones, cut into long strips then wind round the plastic circles thus producing arm and wrist bangles :)

Bird feeder out of plastic milk jugs or soda bottles
clothes pin animals- glue fuzzy pom pom on as noses and such
styrofoam egg cartons can be used to make jewelry boxes- paint them with lids on and fill egg holes with things-paint name on top
