This activity is appropriate for children ages 5 and up  with adult supervision. It requires some advance planning to gather all  the materials and will take several hours to complete and clean up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paper-Making Recipe<\/strong><br \/>\nThis paper-making recipe will help you recycle some of that wasted paper  around  your house, such as newsprint, envelopes, writing paper, left  over gift wrap, or  other types of paper. <em>Note: Sort the paper by  color, because it will come out  that tone.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Materials<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a large bowl<\/li>\n<li>waste paper (about 5 sheets)<\/li>\n<li>water<\/li>\n<li>a mixer or food processor<\/li>\n<li>two wooden frames 8&#8243;-12&#8243; (you can buy a standard frame  or make  one)<\/li>\n<li>a screen (nylon works well)<\/li>\n<li>a stapler<\/li>\n<li>a large basin (dishpan for instance)<\/li>\n<li>optional: dryer lint, thread, glitter,  flowers, thin  leaves, pine needles, potato or carrot peel&#8230;be creative here<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>1. <strong>Soak It:<\/strong> To begin, shred the paper  into  small squares about 1&#215;1 inch and put them into the bowl with hot  water. Let soak  for half an hour.<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Make  a Mold<\/strong>: While the paper is  soaking, make the mold by attaching  the screen to each frame using  staples.<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>Turn  it into Pulp<\/strong>: Place the soaked  paper in the mixer bowl or food  processor half filled with water. Mix  at half speed until smooth. At this  point, you can also add small  quantities of vegetables or plants to the pulp.  In this case, mix until  the mixture is uniform. (Only a small amount should be  used or you  will end up with mush.) To add color to the paper, add nontoxic  fabric  dye or food coloring to the mixture.<\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>Swish  it in a Basin<\/strong>: Pour warm water  into the basin until it is half  full. Then, pour the pulp into the  basin until the mixture resembles thick  soup. The thicker the mixture,  the thicker your paper will be. Working in the  basin, place the pulp on  the screen in the frame and shake it from side to side  to distribute  the pulp evenly until it makes a sheet of paper.<\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>Drain<\/strong>:  Take the paper pulp and frame  out of the basin. Place the other framed screen  on top. Hold both  frames and turn them over so that the pulp is on the dry  frame.<\/p>\n<p>6. <strong>Let It Dry<\/strong>: Place the  frame flat and  let it drip dry.<\/p>\n<p>7. <strong>Leftovers<\/strong>: When you are done, you can  throw away the screened pulp or keep the drained,  leftover pulp in the  freezer, in a plastic bag, for later use. NOTE: Do not  pour the pulp  into the sink or toilet because the pulp could block the drain.<\/p>\n<p>Remember use your imagination!<br \/>\nActivity from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.planetpal.com\/\">www.planetpal.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other activity links:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/crafts.kaboose.com\/holidays\/earth-day\/earth_day_crafts.html\">http:\/\/crafts.kaboose.com\/holidays\/earth-day\/earth_day_crafts.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Earth Day Coloring pages:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/holidays.kaboose.com\/earth-color.html\">http:\/\/holidays.kaboose.com\/earth-color.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Activities around town:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: x-small\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: x-small\"><span style=\"font-size: small\"><strong><span style=\"color: #003333\"><a href=\"http:\/\/strongmail-5.west.mtvi.com\/track?type=click&amp;mailingid=403800&amp;messageid=137500&amp;databaseid=80100&amp;serial=1205844682&amp;emailid=dominiqueaupair@gmail.com&amp;userid=137514&amp;extra=finder_id=&amp;keycode=&amp;campaign_id=&amp;brand_code=&amp;&amp;&amp;9023&amp;&amp;&amp;http:\/\/gocitykids.parentsconnect.com\/forward.jsp?url=%2fevents%2fwashington-dc-usa%2fFancy-Nancy-Poetry-Storytime-Borders%2f642904&amp;ref=newsletter_washington-dc-usa_2010_04_15&amp;memberid=0\" target=\"_blank\">Fancy Nancy Poetry Storytime (FREE!)<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><em><span style=\"color: #666666\">(through Sat, Apr 17)<\/span><\/em><br \/>\nBorders hosts a  storytime inspired by Jane O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s new book, <em>Fancy Nancy Poet  Extraordinaire<\/em>, complete with games, crafts, poetry-writing, and  more.
