due to a limited budget I have kids paint on white cardstock.
Then the district switched to horrible recycled cardstock so I
went back to white sulphite paper. It does curl so what I do
is: after papers are dry I remove from drying rack, THEN I lay
them on an art table, and place heavy art books or stack art
stools (flipped) on top to act a a press. The curled papers
will flatten out beautifully.
