(KG) Learning how to make Paper Pulp

For these projects we decided to make paper pulp using newspaper, water and glue.
We soaked the scraps of paper for two hours. This made the paper very soggy, which helped it to blend well.
We knew our paper pulp was ready to use, when we could not see individual pieces of paper.
We drained the remaining water and added the glue.

Student comment: : " The paper pulp feels hard today".


Student comment: " The googly eye is not paper".


Student comment: "I don't think I want to color the paper pulp".


Someone was thinking of food.
