Papermaking kits suitable for all ages

Turn your school into a 'paper recycling factory' with this kit which can be used with small groups of children or adults.

Teach children about how paper is recycled with a fun 'hands-on' session where pupils make their own sheets of recycled paper.

The kit includes instructions on making paper pulp which will require a blender and some old paper you want to recycle. If you want to prepare the pulp in advance so you can use the equipment immediately we can e-mail you the instructions. It is also useful to have 2 old boards (about A3 size) that you can use to sandwich your freshly made paper between and squeeze out the excess water.
