Try tie dying or candle making—both are cheap and easy with usable results.
Just get tin foil and let them mold it into things, like clay only cleaner.
Pressed Flower art is fun . you can press with many kinds of presses.
I have one design on my picture site added below.
I do a lot of hiking and take my press with me. or I bring a small cooler with a ice pack to put my cut flowers and leaves in till I get home!

Try beeswax candle making. The sheets come pre made in different colours and they can cut out the shapes to go onto the candle once made like an example a angel with wings or a christmas tree candle with shapes on it. Just roll the sheet tightly then blow dry the edge and stick it together. Then blow dry the shapes and stick it to the candle. If they are both girls try making jewelery or do scrap booking together, its fun and easy!
