Blotting paper is a special kind of paper that helps us to get rid of water on a surface. It's like a superhero that saves the day! Think of it like a big, flat sponge that you can use to clean up water spills.
When we accidentally spill water on a piece of paper, the paper gets all wet and messy. This can make it hard to read or draw on. But if we use a piece of blotting paper, we can put it on top of the wet paper and press down gently. The blotting paper will soak up the water and leave the paper dry and clean.
Blotting paper is really useful for artists who paint with watercolors. Sometimes the paint can get too watery and run all over the paper. But with blotting paper, they can gently press the paper and soak up the excess water, so the paint stays where it's supposed to.
So remember, if you ever spill some water on a piece of paper or need to clean up excess water, blotting paper is your new best friend!
