Sustainable cruelty-free arts and crafts
Here are some favourite sustainable tools for creating arts and crafts. You could be doing mindful creative expression or activities with young ones. Whichever the purpose, these supplies are eco and useful.
Store-Bought
Flower press
Make art from the flowers that naturally grow in your space. A wooden flower press helps children create floral elements to decorate greeting cards and more.
Natural wooden animal-free paint brushes
The Honeysticks Jumbo Paint Brush Set is vegan-friendly and 100% compostable.
Plant-based stamps
The Kinfolk Pantry Eco Stamp Set (Numbers) is made from recycled wood-mill sawdust and a type of plastic that is “…derived from plant-based sources such as fermented corn starch…”
Things from nature and repurposed materials
You can also reuse things and sustainably find objects from nature for artistic purposes. See the previous post on affordable, sustainable art and craft supplies.
