Make tie die butterflies using coffee filters and dipping them in Kool-Aid, or you can let them color them with markers and then dip them into a cup of water to let the color bleed.

Most two year olds love to paint with pudding--it's easily accessible--messy (just what a two year old likes)--and safe if they put it in their mouths (which you know they are going to do no matter what it is)!

Making fish bowls; take two paper bowls, cut the middle out of one. Put blue see through paper to cover the hole (this is the water). Then decorate with markers and glue yellow goldfish crackers to the inside of the other bowl. Staple the two together insides together. Ta da, a fish tank.

Take two paper plates and staple them together putting beans or rice in the middle. Let the child paint or glue or put stickers and ribbon on the outside making their own tambourine.
