How do I import multiple sprites and create prefabs of each efficiently?

To import multiple sprites (.png) at once I drag them into Project via Explorer. Then to turn them into Prefabs I take them one by one into Hierarchy (because grabbing multiple creates an .anim), then back into Projects one by one (because it won't let me move multiple sprites at once), which then Prefabs them.

Placing sprites in the Prefab folder does not work, importing as package does not work and sacrificing unbelievers does not work.

Please tell me there is a better way. Thank you.
