Craft Ideas for 1 Year Olds

I'm leading a Mommy & Me type group for babies between 9-13 months (the youngest is 11 months at this point), and I'm looking for any addtl. craft ideas I can find.

So far we have:

introduced crayons
Painted on paper with water
Put bits and pieces of yarn and tissue paper on contact paper
Did a turkey handprint activity
Did a sensory activity (different textured objects in a bag that the children could feel)

Any other suggestions appreciated!

this one is fun for little ones. Put a peice of paper on a table, put different colored clobs of paint and anything else you want on the paper, cover with another peice of contact paper, and let them squish it all over the place. No mess, and you have a beautiful peice of art when your done.

Thanks! This sounds like a fun idea. I've been a little leery of paint since most of the boys (all boys in this group) still put their fingers in their mouths a lot. But this is a great way to introduce them to paint without getting too messy.
