There will be about 75 kids. Any good, somewhat simple ideas that will keep them busy? Also, I would like to have something that they could take home.

i think a good kids craft would be...
1st...break them into groups of about 20
then give each group items like a milk carton, ballon, marker...
tell them to make a boat out of the equipment and see which boat can hold the most amount of eggs

How about using a Polaroid or digital camera and let them decorate a photo frame to put the picture in? Kids LOVE to work with their own photos.
There are also inexpensive bead/necklace/bracelet/anklet crafts, and various paint and/or glue projects -- but alot would depend on the kids' ages, how much budget and help you would have, and how much time is available. Do you want multiple craft stations? Different age levels? Parent assistance? When is the company party and where (indoors or outdoors)? Knowing what business the company is in would also give some ideas.
Email me with some of these details and I should be able to give more suggestions.

For small kids, have them make necklaces out of Fruit Loop cereal, similar to a candy necklace. The first link is to a project tutorial for this craft.
Or, another idea is to make pencil cup holders out of empty toilet paper rolls. The second link gives step by step instructions.
For older kids they could make flower pot pens, which their parents would LOVE as a gift, and they are so easy to do. Check out the third link for that.
Good luck!

This first site offers inexpensive kits with everything you need to complete the project ( except glue). The second site offers craft ideas for children, broken down by age groups.

Beading, making necklaces and bracelets, is always a hit. Girls want to make things for themselves and the boys will want to make something for their mothers.
