Ideas for fairly simple Sander-crafts

[Sandermom]

Hi guys, hopefully I'm in the right place for this. If there's a better place to ask this, I'd love some redirection advice!

I'm a public librarian planning a "Sander-celebration" at our library for next month. We'll be having book discussions, games, etc. I'd like to come up with a couple of fairly simple crafts that we could put out for people to do, but I'm coming up blank. Everything I've thought of so far is too complicated (knit a doomslug like at dragoncon), too messy/long (epoxy resin spheres) or too simple and potentially expensive (vials of metals). I need something that will take a few minutes of effort to complete, fairly inexpensive materials, no special talents, or permanent mess. Is there such a thing? I'm hoping you creative minds can help me think of something!

First thing that comes to mind is wood burning. Inexpensive material (untreated wood in the form you like, I prefer breakfast boads (like chopping boards but smaller), some printed designs, carbon paper to transfer the desing onto the wood and a burning kit that costs about 25$ (mine costed about that, but in Germany)).

I "learned" that very easy craft in a small workshop at my daughter's kindergarden. The woodburning kits provided there were borrowed from several other mums. I'll add a picture of a breakfast board I did for my little girl. Again, it's really easy to do and the results are surprisingly great.

You could use some of those spirographs for people to "create" a cryptic.  You could have them do it on paper or get fabric markers and draw them on cheap bags or a t-shirt.
