Paper Shredding

This is great fun!
All you need is an old newspaper or magazine. You dont want the paper too thick though or they dont fly as well.
Basically you rip the paper into long strips. Encourage the children to help you if they are capable. The girls love actually being allowed to rip things!
Once you have ripped a good amount of paper then you need to just grab hand fulls and throw them up into air. Watch them float to the ground and do it over again.

Be aware that newspaper print will make their hands dirty so you might want to wipe them afterwards if you dont want little black handprints on your furniture!
