craftgrrl | a question for all you crafty ladies.

i'm new to the whole community thing, and i was wondering if some of you could help me out.

i tutor a group of children with special needs. i've been asked to create some sort of activity or lesson for them to do, and i was hoping to find some art or craft related ideas here.

there are about 8 students in the class, and they range in functioning levels...but the work they do is normally fourth grade elementary school type. (ie: finger painting is not really a challenge for them.)

i was thinking of finding some sort of craft idea that's inexpensive and doesn't take more than an hour and a half to complete. (something along the lines of macaroni picture frames, but more colorful and creative.)

if anyone could help me, i'd greatly appreciate it. i'd love to hear any ideas that you have.

thank you. :)
