Contact a local shop that sells wallpaper as they are often happy to give sample books away at the end of the season (usually twice a year).

Use the paper to cover boxes, as backing for displays and there's a whole lot of scope for art activities throughout the year..

Great ideas! Thanks Raelene and Shelley - if you have any photos to share we'd love to see.

I also like to use older books. as altered journals in my creative arts groups. Using matte medium and gesso to prepare the pages, it gives a new surface for creative art, and journaling. This private book then looks like any other book on their bookshelf and is "hidden" from view from others.
