craft ideas two year olds

What kind of craft to do with four-year-olds?

I will be leaving in two weeks on a mission trip to Honduras. I teach four-year-olds every sunday night. I wanted them to make something for the kids that I visit in Honduras. I will be going to an Orphanage there. They couldn’t right a letter because they can barely write in English much less Spanish. Any ideas? Thanks!

How about making a homemade batch of salt dough?

They can create any shapes/forms they wish. They can be air dried, or quick dried in a toaster oven.

If you have inexpensive poster paints from a craft store, they can paint them.
