    hi Kristy
    I remembered you this evening when my husband and I went to Kinko's copies to make some copies. I found a big recycling box filled with new wasted paper that apprently they don't need any more, so we took some home with us

    So I am thinking you could easy find free papers at these kind of places printing, coping places
    here in Champaign,IL we have Kinko's and Dixom graphics
    hope that help

    Kristy, we have a special trash can for our paper recycling. While I can't help you much on the paper thing (though I would emphasize what's already been said about contacting Kinko's, etc.), I have found that empty cereal boxes are WONDERFUL for beginning cutting. My son has cut out pictures of the Statue of Liberty, Bob the Builder, Buzz Lightyear, or whatever else he has found on the empty boxes. You can also open them up and draw lines and shapes on the inside. Any scraps go back into the trash can where they came from.

    Kristy,

    If you know anyone who works in an office, you might ask them for any old copies or papers that they don't want any more or that didn't turn out okay. Where I used to work we had a shred box for old papers, but there may be places that put it in a recycle box but would be willing to give it to you for drawing on the back side. My husband is an insurance agent and brings home notepads from glass companies who come in to their office and pass the pads out for promotional purposes. If you mention it to people you know that you want paper, I'm sure you'll get some "donations."

    Have a great weekend.
