The Alex paper factory is perhaps the best paper making kit for kids. Unlike other kits which result in boring, gray colored paper, the Alex Paper Factory encourages colorizing the paper and adding colorful bits.

The Alex Paper Factory is great for kids 6+ and is an excellent ‘gender-neutral’ science product.
