Put your kids to work and paint something together. It's fun, cheap labor (hah!) and you can get as creative as you like with bright colors and patterns. My daughter and I painted this chevron-striped nightstand together, and made some fun memories at the same time. You can click on the link to see what it used to look like.

Put a yard or so of your favorite fabric to use (no sewing required!) and weave a fabric trash can or basket. It's a great way to pull colors together in a room, as well as keeping small pieces in their place.
