Gift Bag Ideas

My daughter is in a little preschool co-op, and I am trying to figure out little xmas presents she can give to the other kids. I already decided we'd make little gift bags she can decorate to put the stuff in, and now I am trying to figure out what we can put in them!

I have two ideas thus far: home made soap crayons with a pad of paper and the makings of clothes pin people (modeling magic and instructions).

Any other ideas?

The kids are all turning 4 in the next few months.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks everyone! We've never made crayons, but I thought it would be fun. I haven't found a recipe yet, I just know it requires powdered soap and food dye.

I made a "mix cd" of my son's favorite songs and I had stuff people couldn't even get off of Itunes. They were lovin' it months later.

At Michaels and places like it you can buy small wood ornaments really cheap, they can decorate them with your soap crayons.

playdoh - bought or homemade, but really what you have sounds good.

Just curious have you made the soap crayons before? I want to try but am worried they will be a horrible mess. Would love a recipe & tips.
TIA
