Paper Mache is an old art form where repulped paper is mixed with glue or clay and can be molded into beautiful shapes and artifacts.
Students of grade 1 today experienced this hands-on workshop. There was a demo on how to recycle paper using this technique and molded it into different artifacts like flowers, bowls, frames, ladybirds and more.
We hope children will be encouraged to recycle old paper at home similarly as a sustainable craft activity.
