 Close-Your-Eyes Craft 
Place some random art supplies and crafting materials in a box (crayons, yarn, stickers, cardboard tubes, various papers, glue, tape, rubber bands, etc.). Have kids close their eyes and pick out 3 to 5 items that they then must assemble into a work of art. This is a great activity for ages 3 to 5 years old.
