One of the Holiday keep'em busy projects for the kids this year will be to draw and color blocks, for a group project, they can trace pic or draw there own, then color in with perm marker/fab marker, to be put together later. Can then be donated to a kids charity.
Other wise hear I'm bored, so we try to bring along a project that all ages and genders can be a part of.
Always offered the dishes but no takers, imaging that :) LOL
