When we lived in Atlanta we went to Lakeshore Learning for their weekly craft sessions. We did it for several years & they did awesome stuff. You can go to their site & get some easy ideas.

My son did everything from bookmarks, mobiles, treasure boxes, magnets over the yrs & always enjoyed it.
Older kids, both boys & girls like making necklaces. Hobby Lobby, Michaels & sometimes even Dollar Tree have buckets of beads, even glow in the dark ones. Also you can by cardboard trinket boxes at those stores & the kids can paint, glitter & sticker them. My son has several that still to this day contain some of his fave things.
Good luck!
