Construction paper was too thin. I thought construction paper was supposed to have substance. This paper was like printer paper. The colors were fun but I ended up buying thicker paper for my project. Disappointed.
The paper is too thin in fact it is inconsistent in colors. I bought the yellow for beaks on black and white penguins. The yellow was too thin and the black showed through! I had to substitute card cardstock I had on hand but that was really thick. ON the bright side while it was Not good for my project I was thinking the thin papers would work well papel picado for children a bit heavier than tissue paper for easier cutting for young children.
