Great little travel game-sized fine motor/strategic planning/new learning activity called "Hoppers" by Think Fun. It won an award when it was introduced in the 90's. They now have a Junior version of it. The website is: www.thinkfun.com
I also use their "Scrambled Egg" tangram. It's very well made, and you can upgrade and downgrade the activity nicely.

I do the usual, hiding things in putty, beading, games like mini connect four, battleship, etc. Looking for some new ideas that are different. I was hoping to set up a bunch of little ziplock containers with an activity in each one just so I can have it ready for the students when they come in to work and get started. I am getting bored with what I have, but amazingly the kids always want to do the putty!!> > ....any ideas of small things that you can do for about 5 minutes and put in small containers???> > Any ideas are helpful.
