Newspaper Confetti

IMG_2730.jpeg

Many ways to have dry messy play and a sensation of confetti! Torn up newspaper seems to provide endless fun for children and adults. And it is more environmentally friendly - notwithstanding that trees make the paper! The torn paper is then all ready to wet and mix with glue and make papier-mâché. Leave it to soak in water overnight, squeeze surplus water out, mix with glue and you are set to go! An interesting exercise in transformation - From mess to form! Models can then be baked to dry, painted with white glue to seal, and then painted with colours!
