Make some homemade play dough( salt, flour and water), then let them make a round patty to place their hand on. Or whatever they would like to make, maybe an ornament for the tree, Kids that age love squishing dough in their hands. My grandson is 9 years old, and he still likes to mess with Play Dough. I usually buy it at the Dollar Store so he has different colors . We use cookie cutters with it . I could use those to actually make cookies, but then we have a mess.LOL
