At the school where my mom works they have the kids bring in 100 things and make a collage or something.  Or if you have fruit loops or Cheerios or just beads you can make necklaces with 100 on each.  Another neat thing to do is hide 100 small prizes (party favors for ex.) around the room and have a hunt for them.  One last suggestion that i have is to divide 100 by the number of students you have and have each kid bring in that number of pictures of their favorite things or people.  Then you can make a collage in the shape of a 100 for your classroom.

You can get a nice big art & crafts set for a little one of her age for about $10 (florida prices) so then you can throw in some puzzles, chap sticks, and coloring books (the more they have to unwrap the better!) \n\nFor the little boy, a toy dump truck for sure! Then throw in some of those washable crayon's that he can write and color on the bathroom tiles with while he is given a bath.

These are some ideas aimed for pre-k, 1st and 2nd grade:\n*you can provide different geometrical shapes and have them sort them according to color, size, shape, etc.\n*with the same shapes have them complete a pattern you start for them ex. red circle, yellow square, red circle, yellow square, etc.\n*try looking for a game called "Tangram", I don't know if you can buy one already done or you can make your own in this site:http://www.tangram.i-p.com/\n*give students play money and have them solve problems using it.

I probably will not do much valentines day. Maybe exchange gifts with my friend. I will probably help with the children during our valentines banquet at church, so the adults can enjoy each other's company freely and I can enjoy playing games with them and letting them know how much God loves them.

I guess it depends on what age you are talking about, but heres a few ideas regardless\n\npre-bake some sugar cookies so when everyone arrives they are ready to be decorated by \n\nYou could buy however many you need smallish clay pots- paints/glitter, whatever and have everyone decorate a pot to store their pens/pencils in for their desk\n\nCollages- cut pictures or words out of magezines- have a contest who has the least amount of paper showing or the most pictures surrounding a certain theme\n\njewelry making- get some beads from a craft store or cut up some old neckalces- you can make earrings, braceletts, necklaces, anklets, etc.\n\nif i think of more, ill add some..

Having them each pick out a special Christmas ornament at Hallmark each year is fun and by the time they grow up, they'll have a large collection of keepsake ornaments. \n\nHelping to decorate the tree is always good and little ones can hang the plastic beads or non breakable ornaments on the bottom of the tree. \n\nAlso, they can dictate a letter to write to Santa and then leave it with milk and cookies--kids are always excited to see that the cookies and milk were eaten in the morning. \n\nFamily (or just the two little ones) Christmas pictures at Sears/Penny's.\n\nRead them the Polar Express before bed! \n\nHope this gives you a few ideas to work with. :)
