What if you made the newspaper aprons and then made pictures about not littering, keeping a clean earth, etc. You could even make the paints and chalks! I know there are simple recipes out there somewhere, I can try to dig mine up for you.
Then you could have an area to bring in recyclable craft items, as seen in the list in the post above, and do various crafts when you have enough of certain items. You could pass out flyers to the parents asking them to bring those items to class. Once you had an abundance of supplies, coming up with a craft would be easier...drums out of containers, kazoos and rainmakers like you suggested, photo frames or cards from cardboard containers, etc. Check your local thrift store or library for kids craft books.

There are lots of machines for making them.
You can use paper,stickers,fabric,whatever thats fairly flat can go in them.
They come in pretty standard sizes(1",2"etc.).
I know some people on here have specific opinions on machins so I'll let them chime in but there are very simple ones(if your just making them for yourself) in the kids craft sections at Joanns and Michaels.
Also you can make pins out of anything you want and stick them on pin backs.They sell the pin backs in bags in the jewelry section of craft stores.
