It seems that I am up to my ears in random craft supplies left over from one project or another. Here is a fun activity that I gave to my kids this afternoon - grab a handful of random supplies and challenge them to make something from all the items. It can be timed or not (I chose not hoping they would stay busy for a while). I also gave them some supplies in a "tool box" to help them with their craft. Another fun variation would be to add a theme or inspiration - an animal, holiday, letter of the alphabet, etc. You could also give one set of supplies and have them work together to make one thing.
The Tool Box:
Crayons & markers
Scissors
Glue stick
The Mystery Box:
1 milk jug lid
3 cotton balls
1 google eye
1 feather
They were stumped at first and kept asking for paper - I encouraged them to only use what I gave them and after a minute here is what they came up with....
