Homemade Paper and Self Portraits!

Homemade Paper with seeds

This week, the CW children were so excited to make homemade paper infused with wildflower seeds.
Theo said - " It's going to make beautiful flowers"
Betsy - " It's going to make beautiful paper we can plant"
Leo - " It's kind of fun like making a rainbow"
​Susan - " It's kind of funner than making a rainbow!"

First we are mix the wildflower seeds with the paper pulp

Then, when the seeds are fully incorporated into the paper pulp, we flatten it on a mesh screen

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 Portraits

This 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.
