Is this for a class? How much do you want to invest in the crafts? Collages made from magazines or other pictures the children collect would be low cost, creative, and fun.
I offered to teach knitting on an informal basis before or after school for my six graders. Don't think the kids ever actually made anything, but they seemed to enjoy knitting and talking. It was enjoyable for me to interact with them on a basis other than TEACHER and student.

You could do some simple pottery. You might can call around to some shops and beg for their scrap clay for when they are casting molds. This is what we use. Sometimes they will give you a good discount on your firing and paints as well.
Beading is fairly easy to learn, then to teach.
The holidays are coming soon, now would be a great time to make gifts. Check out a company called Oriental Trading Company they've got tons of ideas and very inexpensive supplies.

Had a great home room teacher in 5th grade. She taught us how to knit, make models out of matchsticks, take a new piece of board and age it by denting, staining, etc then decorating that beat-up piece of wood with whatever we wanted to. Even had a boy steal my knitting needles because his parents would not buy them for him. Remember, that at age their minds can be open to anything that catches their interest and attention. And by the way, my memories of this teacher are almost 40 yrs old because of the way she stimulated our minds and hearts.

crocheting. Just get them to start crocheting a square. I taught 6th graders to crochet squares and they loved it, some of them are still doing it today and that was four years ago. The kids I taught helped me make an afghan blanket and gave it to the teacher and that was out of the squares, he was touched as he knew the kids did some of it.

Paper Mache is great for 6th graders. All you need is tissue paper, glue and water. Here is a good recipe:
