    Love this article. Everybody should be making paper. It is important that kids know where it comes from. It is important that all of us know how paper is formed so that we understand how to use it and appreciate its characteristics. Why is it bumpy? What makes it so white? What is an inclusion. Make paper and all of these become obvious.

    I love this article too!!! It reminds me of when I was a child and used to make paper from old newspapers left around the house. It has been a long time since I’ve made paper but this has inspired me to start doing it again…. Thanks!!!!
