Creative Paper Resource

If there is anything that kids can go through quickly, it's paper! At least it seems that way in our house!

I have discovered two great (FREE!) resources that works great for a little artist! Outdated Blueprints and large calendars. More than likely you know either a builder or someone in the construction field. After a period of time, they need to toss all of their blueprints. Since blueprints are on large sheets of paper and are only one sided, they make for a great paper resource. We also like to use the large calendars that banks give out at the beginning of the year. Often times by the end of January, early February, they are happy to hand out calendars by the dozen just to get rid of them! You can either use them to teach your kids about the days and months or use the blank side for the creative mind!

So next time you're at your bank or see your neighborhood builder, be sure to ask for some free paper!
