Stamps...they do love to stamp stuff. Sometimes I just put butcher block paper at the table and let them go to town, stamping away.
Another version of stamping, my all time childhood favorite, potato stamping. You cut the potato in half, carve a design and show the kids how to stamp it on the paper. **tip: fold up a paper towel, get it a little wet, pour a little paint on and rub it in a bit. It makes sort of a stamp pad and eliminates the big globs of paint.
Finger painting, painting with pudding, puffy paint (50/50 shaving cream and elmers glue)
Music...it's loud but they do love to get out the instruments
Throwing rolled up socks in to a laundry tub, always a hit.
Cut out some Christmas trees from an piece of construction paper, give the kids a little glue on a paper plate, show them how to put one finger in the glue, then dab it on the tree, and stick on a piece of sequence. I just did that with my group and my just turned 2 in October was totally in to it. Mine are big in to sticking that stuff in their mouths, but beware if yours are.
Have them paint glue on a piece of white paper, literally using a middle to large kids paint brush. Then give them different color sand in old salt and pepper shakers, I got mine from the salvation army thrift store, and let them shake the different colored sand on to the paper.
That's it for now, but I'm sure everyone will have great ideas to get you feeling a little more charged up.

. For their feet and hands. I put my husbands t shirts on them and let them go crazy.
