Marbled paper collages

In this activity, the children make imaginative collages with marbled paper about the Sun, solar system and what it might be like to journey through space. They are asked to think about questions like: ‘What might you be? How would you travel? Where would you go?’   The marbled paper is messy to make, but the children love making it. It is best to make it in advance and allow it to dry for 2-3 days before using it in the collages.  This activity is suitable for ages 7-10 years old, but the paper should be made by the teacher for younger children. This activity can be applied to many different science and other topics.
