1. Fold paper in half and cut.
2. Crumple each sheet into a ball.
3. Pick a color and paint the outside of your crumpled sheet of paper. Then carefully unfold it, making sure to not tear the paper.
4. Repeat step 3 by adding more colors. (try to keep the amount of colors used between 3 or 5)
5. Unfold paper and let dry.
6. Once dry lay paper inside of a thick heavy book to flatten it out. (school books works nicely)
This project can be done on day when students have a substitute teacher.
Paper can be mounted or framed and displayed as art, or used as wrapping paper, notepads, etc.
