Here are a few difference sources to help you creatives find materials and ideas for anything you may need to help you prep for the big day...The Cr8tiveOverflow!
The AGO: https://ago.ca
The AGO, which is free for students and anyone under 25, has free art classes for all ages, both in-person and online. They have programs for students, family, and youths, and opportunities for school visits. (Not free) - They have a creative camp, spots on sale now. They also have special events that switch up constantly, meaning there's always something new to learn or enjoy.
Great for anyone who may want to try out new things without having to spend the extra money.
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com
Overall, Youtube is a great resource for tutorials on how to do pretty much anything from cooking, to drawing, to building, to painting...Speaking of painting...There are many articles and Youtube videos on how to make your own watercolours from food, their scraps, and gathering bits from nature (plants, dirt, etc). Here's a simple video made by Sharmane Coquilla to get you guys started.

Great for anyone who wants to experiment with making their own watercolour paints.
Upcycling:
Sadly, garbage is all around us...by why not try and flip that around? Why not try and create something out of it...give the trash a new life.
Great for anyone who wants to experiment with a new mundane medium. Also good for those who enjoy creating art more sustainably.

If you're near a community centre, check it out! You never know what opportunities will present themselves.
