This card uses pom poms as a means of decorating with paint and is a great way for kids to express their creativity.
Cutting is required in this activity so if you have smaller kids, you may need to be around to supervise.

This last idea uses just a pair of scissors and two sheets of cardboard in different colours.
You definitely need to supervise younger kids with this craft as it requires them to use scissors.
