A perfect holiday activity-Making Recycled Paper

Don't know what to do with that Christmas paper, that was used to wrap your present. We've got the answer for you!!! Use it to make recycled paper. If holiday boredom has got to you and you don't know what to do then this might be a perfect holiday activity to do. Just remember to ask Mum and Dad about using the Equipment and keep safe around using the appliances. This is a great activity to do, and your recycled paper could be used for: writing Thank you Letters to your friends and family, Making Cards, Mini Posters etc. When you've finished making your recycled paper, let it dry and then peel it off the boards. Six Cups of ripped paper makes about 4-5 sheets. You can mix your colours together or use separate colours. You can use glitter, once it is beaten up or you can use flower petals or fragrances such as lavendar. Enjoy making your recycled paper.
