It was difficult for them (I had them work in partners), but a good lesson in perseverance because when it was all said and done, one of the kids shouted, "I want to make these every day for the rest of my life!" Thanks for an awesome tutorial! I am a teacher/summer camp instructor and I just made these with a group 1st-5th graders: they LOVED it.

I'm going to give my 7th graders a choice. Paper or plastic. I love the idea of using recycled bags; I did the newspapers when I was a kid. I’m going to give my 7th graders a choice.
