The Crayons, Legos, Astronauts and Battleships are exploring paper making! Today we worked in small groups to rip up recycled paper to make our own paper pulp. Then, we soaked the paper in a water bin and blended the prepared pieces in a blender. The final step was to spread the paper pulp over a screen and flip it over onto a piece of felt to dry. The students learned about up-cycling materials, color mixing and texture. We can't wait to see what our homemade papers will look like once they're ready! Next class we will see what happens when we add new materials to our pulp mixture...Comments are closed.
