Craft Fundraiser for Adults with Developmental Disabilities

Hi crafty friends!

I am helping a friend of mine that works with adults with developmental disabilities come up with craft projects that her clients can sell to raise funds for their art program. So far, I have thought of bird baths created from terra cotta pots that the clients can paint and decorate, bottle cap magnets, and toad abodes (essentially a clay pot turned upside down and decorated). We are trying to do Spring like things because that is when they will be selling them. Perhaps we could also help them decorate some greeting cards to sell.

Do any of you have any great ideas. I need to keep it relatively simple as I don't know the abilities of the individuals and I believe we only have 2 hours to complete the projects. Maybe more, but I am not certain.

Any ideas would be greatly appeciated!!!! THANKS!

A friend of mine, who works in this field, has gallery shows for her students. They work with a theme + all the students (Mentally Retarded + Dev. Disabled) paint their interpretation of the subject. Last one they did was cat portraits + they turned out so great + sold very well
