I had a HUGE garbage bag full of shredded paper that I needed to put in the recycling bin. I thought "hey, why not play with it first? It would be great fun!" Yes, it was fun, but I learned my lesson...this is NOT an outdoor activity! Especially on a slightly windy day. Oh well, the kids had fun, that's what matters right? I poured it out in my big water/sand table and gathered different scoops and let the kids loose.
I told Lil Lady to smell it and see what it smelt like. She said it was stinky-lol!
As you can see, my driveway quickly became COVERED in tiny shreds of paper. Ugh.

Lil Lady had fun making pie and cake out of paper...here she is offering me a slice.
Lil Man loved taking her pie and cake and stressing her out, as usual. He thinks it's his hourly job to torture her because she makes it so easy!
The magnifying glass was lots of fun to check out the paper with.
Getting a closer look with the magnifying glass is very important!
How big of a pile can you hold at once?
It is lots of fun to sort and move paper shreds to fun new containers. She was making me dinner here I believe...
Overall the kids loved it, I didn't. If I do it again it will be indoor, on a tarp or something that I can easily clean up and take care any leftover runaway papers with a vacuum. It took me forever to clean up my driveway after this one!
