We don't have any paper for art and not sure when my boss will be shopping for it. Yet she wants art done daily. What can I do with preschoolers that have no paper to use as the base? Something not crazy messy but yet still educational and fin? Maybe for winter

You can also use toilet paper tubes and make snowmen, santa claus, trees anything.
Egg cartons bells, caterpillars, etc.
Does art have to be something to take home? Dry erase markers on boards is fun, group coloring/painting on newspaper.

I don't know if you tried this, but I made once with my kids tic tac toe, you only need for that a few stones and cardboard for example (you can also use some fabric, a small wooden board, a piece of plastic, anything). You can draw the net on each cardboard for the game and give them colors so they can color each stone or draw X or O on them. I gave mine two colors (red and green) so they colored the stones and they love the game.

Be resourceful with paper if not already. Cut in halves or quarters. Use computer paper for doodles, construction for teacher-led projects.
Use a scrap bin for using little bits so they don't use a whole sheet for a quarter sized piece.
Use cardboard for projects as well. Paper plates, bowls, washable trays. If you're just doing art that you don't need a hard copy of, paint trays.
See if you can put up a wish list for parents (I would not if you're in a very low income area) and put both kinds of paper on it.
