Colorful Recycled Paper
Kindergarten lesson overview:
This art project is from the color unit. Students created recycled paper by using scrap paper. The students first selected various colors to create a nice color scheme. Then the students tore paper into small pieces and soaked it in water. After the pieces of paper sat in the water, the students tore the paper a little more and put it into a pile on a plate. Lastly, a towel was used to press out some of the excess water. After the project completely dried, it became recycled paper!
