4-5 year old arts and craft ideas.?

i need some simple easy arts and craft ideas to have with 4-5 year olds. like pupets. please let me know the items needed. thank u so much.

We make Thumb Print People.
Needed:
Ink pads, more than one color if you like
Paper
Pencils/crayons
You put down the print of the child’s thumb (several of them) and draw on a little face and scene.

Paper Bag Puppets
Needed:
Lunch Bags (I like white or plain brown)
Various construction paper colors, can be precut into shapes you’d like for eyes, noses, ears, and other features. (like a lion’s mane)
Crayons/Markers
Glue/Paste

Paper plate Tamborines
Needed:
Paper plates, 2 per instrument
Staples
Crayons/Markers, stickers
Some thing to make noise, like dry beans or rice.

Decorate plate bottoms. Place one plate upright add handful of beans. Place second plate over so bottom is up and rims align, and staple rims around well.

The site apples for the teacher has lots of ideas for crafts, books and coloring pages.

    have them make popsicle puppets, and have a pupet show
    or you can bring in rocks, and have them paint and decorate them to look like animals.
    another one is masks. you can make paper masks and put on a play.
    or the basic one have them paint or color a picture.
    GOOD LUCK, and here is a site with childrens crafts

    i think when i was a little kid i loved to play with play doh even though it was a bitch to get out ( so my mom says ) just make ur kids play outside with it. and its great because they can create whatever they imagine.
