This morning we baked cupcakes. Because Nicholas was helping measure out the ingredients, there was a lot of spillage. I dumped the spilled flour into a glass pan, added some small tractors and animals, and voila: Nicholas had a winter farm (actually, he called it a zoo). Playing with the "snow" kept him occupied while I cleaned up the entire kitchen. You could also use a cookie sheet. It is amazing how something so simple allows kids to be so imaginitive.
