Pedapea,
Wow! I got behind on this thread. I use paper that is either blank or my kids have colored a little on with nontoxic crayons I also use homework that has already been graded, basically anything that I would normally shredd just as long as it doesn't have colored dye in it. I remembered the name of the bedding I saw and it is called "yesterdays news" It is made from recycled newspaper. I hope this answers your questions.
