Paper Making with Anouk

Today Anouk visited us to help us learn about recycling and reducing our rubbish.  We had a great time making paper with her outside on the grass.  

First, we got the frame and added a picture frame on top.  Then we dipped it into the watery paper pulp and then lifted it out to drain.  We then took it over to the material strips and spent some time using a sponge to remove as much water as possible.  When we had got rid of as much as we could, we tipped the frame over so that the paper we were making was transferred onto the material.  We were then able to remove a little more water from our paper with the sponge. 

Once we had removed as much water as possible we hung them up to dry.  We can't wait to make cards to give to people out of them.
