Found Material Journal

Gift bags, wrapping paper, shipping boxes, or cereals boxes make unique covers for a journal. Many of us throw writeable materials straight into the trash. Have you thought about repurposing those materials for learning? Try making a science journal using paper and items you can write on from your house.
