Recycled items I need for the art room....


Here is an updated list of recycled items I'd love in the art room. Your contribution opens up the yearly allotted art funds to be used on other art supplies and allow your children to explore more sophisticated and higher quality art mediums.

LIST: (items in red are badly needed NOW)
* Buttons
* Magazines
* Cigar boxes......we can;t have enough of these.
* Newspaper (city paper sized preferred, but all accepted)
* Yogurt cups
* Corks (No, I won't judge you for bringing me hundreds....LOL)
* Cardboard (8x11 or larger) for everything
* Cutting board (for garden related art signs)
* Old house paint (any color) to paint old discolored wooden shelves
* Sheets (any color as long as it's solid and not prints. I use this for banners)
* Large old T-shirts (for smocks for kids who have not yet brought one in)
* Thread spools (for everything from stamping, sculpting to construction)
* Used or new canvases on stretchers for permanent art for the school
* Cardboard baby books (any kind)/ (We will repaint and make new books)
* Ribbons -for collage, to construction)
* Old broken toys - for construction projects.
* shoe boxes- all sized for construction
* Calendars- for visual resources
* Plastic/styrofoam egg cartons- for palettes (no cartons please)
* Wire roll (any kind as long as its easily bent
* Small boxes of any kind (soap, gift box, toothpaste box)
* beads/old broken jewelry for sculptures, etc
