Fun crafts for kids or ways to teach them about different kinds of art.?

My daughter’s school is having an art night, and I would like to have a booth. It’s geared towards K-5, but for more complex things it can be limited to the older grades. I believe that the max. amount of time that a session at each booth lasts is 30 minutes. I’m in need of several ideas. If it’s teaching them how to do something different artistically (rather than just a craft) it would have to be something they can do hands on. Thanks in advance for any responses.
There is a great art program at my daughter’s school. This is just another way to celebrate how important art is. They do several themed things throughout the year and this is just one of them. Being an art teacher I would hope that you could use your expertise to help me rather than make assumptions.
By the way a lot of the booths are run by local art students and all the art teachers from the district participate as well as parents who have art related degrees. My booth well be one of the less important ones. There are booths that are more involved and those that are intended to be the filler in between.

What about making prints onto blank cards or shirts? Is that a bad idea?
Stay@home…you’re not at all on the wrong train…….keep em coming. I don’t need this today I’m just anxious to find a bunch of ideas and then have the luxury of choosing one out many.
