Benefits of Paper Making in the Classroom

Paper Making: Custom Hand-Made Paper is a website that offers some great paper making resources and ideas.   

"Whether homeschooling or teaching in a classroom setting, teachers can get a lot of mileage out of a single paper making lesson. Making our own paper teaches us things from nearly every subject and helps us make sense of our world. Imagine if math teachers could have their students make rulers, or music teachers could make instruments in class–what a gateway to knowledge!"
