Isaac had a recent science lab to make recycled paper. His instructions called for the use of a blender, but we had this Bill Nye kit we hadn't tried yet and decided to go that route. Probably a real blender would have been quicker and created finer results, but this gave us a much greater appreciation for the reasons not to waste paper to begin with.
Isaac cranking the soaked and shredded paper in the "blender". (We harvested scraps from the paper shredder in the office rather than cutting/ripping ourselves.)
Filling the mold with the pulp.
Jess LOVED playing with the pulp. She made a piece of paper with the heart mold. I should have let her make a paper mache' project with the leftovers.
Putting the mold in the press. Remove, then wait 24 hours before using.
The final result with a note written to his secretary.
