What to materials to use for background props + characters - Kynan

Ideas to use for backgrounds
We could use CGI to create a good picture of a jungle and beach.
We could use a picture of a beach and a picture of a jungle in the background
We could get some actual sand and water for the beach and then just draw some trees on paper
Take some pictures of some trees instead of drawing them

Ideas for the items the characters are looking for:
Lego? Plaster-sine? drawn pictures of it? Photos of a bow could be used, difficult for treasure and an eye though. Computer generated image?

Plaster-sine characters
Lego characters or other little toy characters
Drawn pictures + using computer to create different movements
