How about bookmarks ? Cut oaktag or any cardboard (cereal boxes ! ) into 2 1/2" X 6" strips and let the children glue on all the tiny scraps you prepare ahead of time. After they dry, trim the edges and laminate. If you want to punch a hole at one end, you could tie on some scraps of yarn or ribbon. You could even recycle some beads to hang on the ends of the ribbon !
