finger knitting? like crochet without the hook, you just keep 
looping through the last loop. or a knitting dolly/mushroom

 rubber stamping. cutting up old holiday cards to make balls 
(cut the card into 6 or more evenly sized strips, hold 
together top & bottom with a brad & fan into a ball), pompom 
animals, cinnamon dough ornaments...
