Fun Crafts for Preschoolers

I started doing crafts and theme units with my daughter last winter, during my newborn son's morning naps. I hope these give you some fun ideas, and I really hope you'll try them and let me know how they went for you -- and suggest your own ideas for me to post! Have fun, and don't be afraid to get messy. :)
