Homemade Paper with seeds
The children are pressing the excess moisture out of the paper pulp to create a flat piece of paper
Once the paper is dry, we will cut it into small pieces and take it home to plant and watch it grow! Self PortraitsThis week in CW, we continued to work on our self portrait, so every CW child has drawn his self portrait, while others continued to develop their drawing skills.
