Art Crafts For Kids

Fun Crafts For Kids or ways to teach them about different types of art.?

My daughter's school is having an art night, and I would like to have a booth. It's geared towards K-5, but for more complex things it can be limited to the older grades. I believe that the max. amount of time that a session at each booth lasts is 30 minutes. I'm in need of several ideas. If it's teaching them how to do something different artistically (rather than just a craft) it would have to be something they can do hands on. Thanks in advance for any responses.

This may be too juvenile, I don't know, but when I was younger I would take triangle shaped pieces of paper (colorful origami paper, wallpaper samples, anything that is pretty and has texture. You roll them up and put a dab of glue at the tip of the triangle so it holds the bead together. Then you string them and wah-lah! You have a necklace. You could do other things like made door beads to hang, bracelets, etc.

Oooh another craft is one that even I do. I take baby food jars and around the rim where it reads the brand, I put deco tape (very common at Craft Stores and online). I put one-sided sticky magnets on the flat side to stick to the fridge. On the other side where you want to make it pretty I take that foam like craft paper and trace a circle from the lid and then cut it up and place it right in the lid, it will most likely stick. They you can decorate with a school pictures, stickers, beads, glitter, etc.
