Kids play with any and everything. I have a bag full of empty bottles, cardboards and masking tape. You can use them to make robots. It also encourages them to be imaginative. You should try it out.
I makes felt dolls, do experiments and using ice-creams or recycle items to do cards with my kids instead of buying toy.
Here is a Xmas card we did together for her school teacher last Christmas.
I made play dough for my Son..u can try to search for receipe online
Pinterest! It's filled with ideas! Some even include age specific ideas!
