ok, i am a little late, but i have some ideas that may be useful.
i am a preschool teacher in an early childhood center. we are always looking for good educational toys, puzzles, arts and crafts materials, etc. maybe instead of creating crafts, you can have a collection of construction paper, beads, craft foam, pipe cleaners, etc. give the school in your community a call and see what things they might want.
i think the books on tape is a great idea. my kids LOVE to listen to books on tape. we also do a community reader day and the kids like that too.
a book collection would also be cool. the books could be added to the library or divided among the classrooms.
or host a "help a teacher" week. students could go to the local schools and help teachers put up bulletin boards, photocopy papers, cut out materials, etc. teachers are always looking for volunteers!
good luck with your project!
