One thing that I've had some success with is working with marzipan.  

Make up some batches in different colors, and make some nice sample models -- a rose,a snake,a lilly, a cat, a shield.  

You'll need the following:

babywipes or wetnaps to clean off hands before & after
toothpicks for modelling work
waxed paper covering work surface
small paper plates or waxed bags to carry off artwork
rolling pins
 Then let them mess around to their pleasure.  A round orange ball, marked all over with the side of a grater, and stuck with a whole clove, makes a nice fruit!
