Other comments or suggestions to consider:
Sometimes local tile companies will donate plain tiles for use with a class. I use 4" white tiles and lightly draw a circle with a air erasable pencil (look in quilting dept) to give the younger kids a basic shape to follow. Use your imagination: how about a triangle of green fingerprints as a xmas tree! Paint the tile light blue and use white paint to stamp fingertip snowmen!
