I have made these with classes of all ages. You get template. We tear the kids workbook pages out of the workbooks, so I saved the back covers and traced the template so each child could have their own. You use old calendar pages, old maps, sheet music, cool magazine covers (the actual pages are usually too thin.) You basically, trace, cut, fold, glue. Then if the picture is too dark, you use a file folder label or something similar to put the address. These can actually be mailed. We spent one day writing letters and the next making the envelopes and I mailed them out for the kids. They were so excited. Many of the kids even made their own envelopes for valentines. It's a great recycling project. I recommend using a glue stick instead of Elmer's just because it is cleaner. Years ago I bought a kit called “Funvelopes.” I have made these with classes of all ages.

Paper mache is fun too - use household items to have them build sculptures and then cover them with paper mache. You could paint the finished product or not. It could be a group or individual project. I have always enjoyed origami. Paper mache is fun too – use household items to have them build sculptures and then cover them with paper mache.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any art supplies that are specified 'cruelty free'. One would hope that they are not tested on animals, but how would you get a 'non-toxic' rating without knowing a product won't kill the mouse that ate it? Cruelty free means that the products have not been tested on animals.

They are not known for specializing in eco-friendly materials and cannot afford to offer them at bargain prices. "Going Green" is catching on however cruelty free arts & craft supplies is one philosophical objective whose time has yet to arrive in the industry. You can at least learn about the various processes involved and choose those products made with less impact on animal life.
