Answer 2

Go to a garage sale and buy a cheap but sturdy chair or end table. Let them paint it.
Make cards.
Draw pictures. Scan the best, most colorful ones, and put the image on iron-on transfer sheets to put on t-shirts or for pillows.
Make picture frames out of popsicle sticks (or craft sticks) they've painted. Attach a string (twine) or magnet to the back.
Trace around their hands and bare feet - frame and give to mom and dad.

Answer 3

color table salt with chalk (pour salt on plate and color) instant art work or put in glass jars to make pretty designs

Answer 4

you can paint with them, make plato yes make it and then use cookie cuter shapes to shape them and they can paint it. Thats what i do with my 5 and 4 year old neice and nephew. They make the plato and then they paint and they make a piece for everyone in the family. You can have them make cards for there mom's just because there is a lot if you want more email me because i have this giant book on what to do with kids indoors and outdoors
