Etching would be crazy hard with preschoolers I would think. Etching cream can be a bit harmful, you have to be careful with it. I have used modge podge and did a decopauge (ok can't spell it) with napkins and pictures on a plate. I have also used paints to paint on the back of the plate. BUT, I wonder if you can use permanent markers on a plate?? You could take an image, draw it on the plate (on the back side), and the kids could color in the lines (again back) - or just let them free style color/write on the back. You may have to seal it but any sealer would do the trick. I used a spray sealer after using the modge podge. It was all done on the back so no harm to the front of the plate. Can't dishwash the plate, but you usually only use it for decorations or cookies or stuff like that anyway. Paint pens would work good too. those Fabrico markers can be used on glass too, I believe - they sell other kinds too for all types of surfaces.
