Even if you can't find much time for art at least once a quarter make some seasonal art. Fall is a great time to start because pumpkins and gourds make wonderful still life. You can see some drawings that some kids started one year here.
I love art as a process so I would do several quick 15 minute sessions. Here is what I would do:
Plan to model each of these for one or two minutes.
1. Sketch the still life with pencil
2. Trace around the objects with crayons.
3. Add color with watercolor paints. {If you don't have paints, crayons or color pencils will work nicely. This would be a lovely way to teach kids to use several colors together, working lightest to darkest.}
Need a reason to justify season art? Write poetry or seasonal narratives, and display them together.
