Bats. Paint toilet paper rolls black and glue wings on them and make a scary face. You can hang them with string.
Spiders. Paper machet small balloons. Use laundry starch and strips of news paper. After they dry you can paint them black and stick pipe cleaners in them for legs.
Ghost. Dip cheese cloth into laundry starch and gently ring out the extra. Drape it over a 2 liter soda bottle and let dry. Paint or glue felt for a face. Hang with string. References :
Ok i got one….. you can make ghosts outa white tissue paper by taking a square then filling the head with some more tissue paper then tieing it together and drawing faces on it
How about making sock puppets? They are pretty easy and you can do it with glue and fabric paints. Or, how about making Christmas cards to mail to soldiers over in Iraq? I used to make cards for Valentines day for the soldiers and it was a lot of fun. References :
I babysit two girls of the same age that you do,
two crafts that they seemed to like a lot were:
1. I brought a whole bunch of sisters over to their house, I picked stuff they like for example: flowers, hearts, barbie etc etc and gave them paper and they made pictures with the stickers. The 5 year old actually got quite creative, I was rather impressed
2. I found an old shrinky dink book and it had some paper in it so I let them do shrinky dinks which they seemed to like a lot especially watching the shrinky dinks shrink (just be careful thatthey don’t burn themselves)
They also never get tired of painting, using stamps, collages with foam letters and animals etc etc… what about molding their hands and/or feet into clay? References : My own experience
When my daughter was in preschool she loved to cut out pictures from a magazine, use safety scissors of course. Then glue them on a peice of paper to make a picture. References :

I love making salt dough objects with my children (aged 2 & 3). http://www.multihobbies.com/saltdough/
Nice and squishy for the youngest who likes to measure out and mix. My eldest is now more into making models and painting.
