Paper Mache Snow Day

We had our first paper mache experience. We used paper cups, cereal boxes and balloons to make an animal shape, we made paper mache paste, we tore strips of paper from old phone books, and then we got busy making a big huge mess. I do not recommend doing this in your carpeted dining room like we did. Just a suggestion. Although, now I'm really good at cleaning paper mache paste out of carpet.





Once the "animals" were dry the girls used markers to decorate them. We were going to paint them, but I didn't want to clean up another mess. This craft was a big hit!
