Paper Making

We are always thinking of projects the children can work on with recycled material. Paper is so dynamic and continues to inspire new ideas. With some glue, water, scraps and a blender we went to work on paper making.

This technique required a lot of skill from these children but as you can see they mastered the steps in little time.

At first when they saw the tub with gray water and particles floating inside they wanted nothing to do with it. We showed them some finished pieces and the frames they would use to scoop up the pulped paper. This captured their interest. We are now up to our ears in paper!!!










We also introduced bead making with paper. Again this required the polished use of fine motor skills. As these students continue to attend our classes we witness the mastery of their skills and the look of achievement on their faces is priceless.!
That's what we are all about.
