And so to this Wednesday.
I bought transparent plastic wallets from Poundland @ 5 for £1. Sharpie pens to decorate with stickers to personalize. Just keep an eye when using permanent markers and warn all that use about getting on clothes etc.
Breadmaking - make up the dough in advance then say it needs lots of kneading - good therapy! Use wet wipes so you don't have to send all your young people out to the loo to wash hands at the start - you may never see them again. When they have made shapes (encourage ones of similar size or they cook unevenly) cook in oven from cold heating to about 180 degrees so plenty of time to rise again. Add some butter and that is a very cost effective craft/snack with lovely aromas to go with them.
I look around for offers of those scratch cards that can be scraped to reveal patterns. No skill involved and the young people love them. Gather together lots of stencils which are another means of helping those with self-esteem issues who struggle when asked to be creative.
Add the usual mix of board games, pool, air hockey etc and that should keep 20 busy for an hour.
