Here's an easy one to make and fun to use too! It's a Boo Boo Bunny, made out of a washcloth and a couple other things. Put your finger through the hole or an ice cub to soothe someone special's boo boo!
CRAFT MATERIALS:
Washcloth (a baby sized washcloth works great)
Rubber band and ribbon
Glue
Googly eyes
Small pom-pom
Large pom-pom
1. First, place the washcloth on a tabletop and evenly roll two diagonally opposite corners toward the middle. Fold the rolled washcloth in half so both sides are even.
2. Fold the cloth in half again and wrap the rubber band around the second fold to form the bunny's head. Gently pull apart the rolled ends that extend above the rubber band so that they resemble rabbit ears.
3. Next, decorate the face by gluing the googly eyes onto the face and the small pom-pom for a nose. Glue the large pom-pom onto the back of the original fold to serve as a cottony tail, and the bunny is finished. Just be careful that a baby doesn't get it and ingest the eyes or pompoms.

Another good one that my kids and I STILL do...
a bracelet or ankle bracelet made from fishing supplies.
You need a pair of need nosed pliers, some tiny seed beads, and fishing fasteners.
You can thread the beads on the fishing fasteners, then connect them all together in a circle. Very easy!!
