I have to got to get a subscription to Blueprint - I'm really liking what I've seen so far.
Take a photo of something you love—a dog that comes
every time you call, a keepsake with beautiful cursive and a colorful
stamp, your lucky Tuesday-night poker deck. You can blow it up with
some hassle-free Internet help, then frame it, hang it, and be
enormously happy every time you walk by.

Just found this site - I definitely need to bookmark this for when Ava gets a little older. It's called D.I.Y. Kids and it's basically design projects for kids.
Here's some examples
Sticker Art

Use a sheet of tiny "price tag" stickers to make itty bitty works of art. Each one is a frame for a different picture. You'll find yourself drawing different kinds of art, just because the space you're working on is different. Draw animals, sushi, flags, abstract shapes, or anything else you like. Keep your stickers together, or put them on letters, packages, stationery, or your notebook. Stickers by Ruby, age 7
Dressy Apron

Grown out of your favorite flowered dress? or just grown out of dresses altogether? The flouncy dresses loved by little kids make cool aprons for bigger kids, and require very little sewing.
1. Lay dress flat on table or floor.
2.
Cut out the face of the apron, following the side seams up the top of
the dress, across the top, and down. The front of the dress will form
one piece.
3. Add ties. You can use pieces cut from the back of the
dress or grossgrain ribbon. Sew ties on each side at the waist, and at
the top right and top left.
4. For a finished look, you can hem the sides. (But remember -- aprons are for messy work, in the kitchen, studio or garden.)
Variations: cut dress at the waist for a half-apron.
If
you don't want top ties and there's a button (not a zipper!) at the
back, keep the collar (round neck opening) intact and use the button to
open and close your apron.
Patterns with masking tape

Lay out a grid of masking tape onto paper. Use water color to fill in the squares. Let colors mix and blend for nice effects. You can also sprinkle salt into the wet paint. When the paint dries, remove the masking tape. These areas will be white, but with interesting borders. You can scan the finished pattern to make wrapping paper, cards, and other products.
