Often with DD I just give her some glue and stuff to stick on paper and she loves it.
We go outside collect leaves, whatever stick them on
Go thru junk mail and let her pick out stuff to cut out and she sticks them on.
Paint, messy, but she loves
and simple coloring always seems to be enjoyed.
Also recycling stuff comes in handy we made a robot one day out of boxes and egg cartons and she used glitter pens to decorate.
This is something I've been begining to think about...DD enjoys the craft at playgroup, although still thinks glue is the same as paint! But I think she's slowly getting the idea.
Anyway, I saw stuff in Neds yesterday - they have heaps of craft things ( and I've just thought, why didn't I look in there for paint rather than buying the exxy crayola stuff in target )
Keep junk mail for cutting things from, any packaging etc.
The big roll of butchers paper someone mentioned is about $10 in Ikea.
Playgroup had a nifty idea for sand/glitter - put it in a spice container - that way they can skake it onto the glue. THey also did the sand pics in a drawer-type thing - that way, any excess sand/glitter could be poured back into the shaker (and with DD there was heaps of excess - she would dab a 5cent piece of glue on the paper then pour the WHOLE jar onto it! )
Neds also do some great boxes for about $3 - I just bought one to keep craft stuff in for DD.
The Playschool website has fantastic imformation for making the stuff they make on the show. DS and I recently made a car from the instructions on the website and he absolutely loves it. Next project is a rocket ship
We brought a craft box from Kmart.
