Arvind Gupta's admirable Toys from Trash website should be a great 
source of ideas:

Origami is inherently mathematical, and recycled paper is always easy 
to come by.  I have run origami activities at science museum and 
library fairs with a lot of success and I'd be happy to suggest easy 
models with STEM themes. If you google Origami Minnesota, I'd bet you 
will find paperfolders in the Twin Cities area who'd enjoy a chance 
to share their enthusiasm at your festivals.
