So just what is sugar paper?

No,  it's not made from sugar and it is not edible (although it is non toxic so it won't hurt your child if they do nibble on it!) 

This type of paper was traditionally used to wrap blocks, or more correctly loaves, of sugar as they were transported from the West Indies in Victorian times. 

Some times called construction paper, sugar paper has a rough, absorbent surface making it ideal for children's paintings.  Most sugar paper has a high recycled pulp content.  The colour, whilst bright, may run when wet and will fade quickly in direct sunlight.

We sell brightly coloured sugar paper in sizes A4 and A3 on our website - click here for sugar paper.  (We can also supply A2 and A1 for local collection)
