Hi, Patricia,
Do you have any specific types of supplies in mind to use? Or projects you would want to make (decorate the house, useful items for school/bedroom, etc), that might help give some direction? Also, maybe the kids' ages?

What ages are the kids?
Will the craft activities be indoors, or outdoors?
Is there a water source/sink for clean up in the room?
Are you wanting crafts that can be started and completed in one session, or crafts that require several days to finish?
Will the kids be generally on their own, or will there be close adult supervision during the activity?

My 4 yo granddaughter loves to do her own “spin art “ using an old salad spinner I picked up at the thrift shop. I cut the little spike off of the bottom of the spinner,to have the paper lay flat. Then I cut thick paper into circles to fit in the bottom of it. I let her choose 3 or 4 colors of cheap paint ( dollar store, Walmart), to make blobs of color on the paper, then spin. She loves the results! And, it’s cleaner because the paint is in the spinner bowl. It will just rinse off in the sink. I put a large piece of plastic on the table to protect it from the masterpieces. And, an apron on the “artist”.
