To make paper pulp

You will need a bunch of shredded paper.  My kids love using the paper shredder and this is a great excuse.  Fill a tub with shredded paper and cover with boiling water.  We let the paper mixture sit over night so that it loosens up the paper fibers.

Working in small batches, add the paper mixture to the blender.  You may need to add extra water to each batch.  How easy is that?  You now have a bin of paper pulp that is perfect for a ton a different projects.  However my kids love just squishing it in a sensory bin.

If you want to make snowmen, but don’t have time to make paper pulp.  We have you covered.  Check out these simple Shredded Paper Snowmen.
