As Kathleen Hogan was saying to All:
 
 KH> I need some help.  My daughter's pre-school teacher wants me to start
 KH> coming in about once a month to teach the class to do craft-stuff.  I
 KH> have a VERY limited number of projects that can be done by the 3-4
 KH> year old age group.  Does anyone have some ideas for craft projects
 KH> appropriate for that age group that requires few and simple materials?
 KH> I would greatly appreciate any help I can get.
 I'm not sure about 3-4 year olds, but I've done this
 project with two 5 year olds and they had fun and didn't
 have much trouble.
 I picked up some plain brown boxes (heart shaped) that
 were inexpensive at my local craft store. I also bought
 a package of colorful napkins that you take apart so
 that you are only using one layer.
 Then you dilute glue down...about 50/50...with water,
 have the kids tear up the napkins and using the glue
 paint the box and stick the napkins on. They a coat
 of glue is also painted over the top (the kids use
 pain brushes).  I then let them embellis with buttons.
 The kids I had do this seemed to enjoy it. It wasn't
 perfect, but they still look nice.  Could be an idea
 that could be modified.
