Crafts for Boys ages 9-11?

I work at a day camp every summer and this year I was made art counselor. I love doing crafts with the kids but every year the older boys seem more and more bored as the summer goes on. I just want a few easy crafts that they will enjoy. We only have about 45 minutes each session but it could be something that takes a couple of days as well.

    well you can draw a tiger so they know how
    then give them a square size chipboard (same as the stuff on a cereal box) and then the extra board gets used by cutting it out and put it on the board the same way they drew the picture

    I have couple. I work as a part time volunteer at a youth center so here’s what we do,
    Make little clay animals, boats, bugs and bake them.
    Decorate sea shells with colored sand,
    if your ceiling has tiles take em down and let kids paint them,
    I really hope this helps and have fun with the kids!
