The Crayola site offers more than just a place to shop for your favorite crayons. They have several categories for you to search for the perfect craft for a rainy day.
Even if you're not a Family Corner magazine subscriber you can still browse their site for inventive crafts and activities. While they don't specify using recycled items you can translate many of their ideas into the recyclers world. Besides they have free stuff like Coloring Pages and Activity sheets which you can print out on recycled paper.
Make custom coloring books or just print out pages each time your child's interest in a popular cartoon character changes. This site has saved me tons of waste because when your kids choose the pages they want they color them all instead of skipping pages in their coloring books.
