Crêpe paper

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of crêpe paper? It's this really thin paper that is almost like tissue paper. But it's a little different because it's been crinkled up a bunch of times, making it bouncy and stretchy.

You know how when you fold a piece of paper, it stays that way? Well, crêpe paper doesn't do that. Since it's been crinkled, it has a lot of little ridges and bumps that make it hard to turn back into a flat sheet.

So, why do people use crêpe paper? Well, it's really good for things like decorations! You can make fun and colorful streamers by weaving together strips of crêpe paper. You can also use it to make flowers or even clothing (like a crêpe paper dress!).

Crêpe paper comes in lots of different colors so you can make anything you want to look bright and fun. Plus, since it's so thin, you can layer it up and make it look even more interesting.

But kiddo, it's important to be careful with crêpe paper - it tears really easily! So make sure you handle it gently if you decide to use it for crafts.
