Why not prepare you own entertainment today with a papier-mâché day? Gather up some flour, salt and water to make your mix. Expert Village provides an instructional video on the entire process. This is a great time to let the kids get messy. Encourage them to dip their hands into the goop and stir the ingredients until you get a watery paste. This pleasing-to-moms project is also pleasing for Mother Earth. Recycle old newspapers by cutting them into long strips. Use old pipe cleaners or clip wire hangers to form any structure you’d like to drape your mâché over. Form myriad shapes and inspire little imaginations to run wild. When you are done, allow the sculptures to dry and then paint them however you’d like. Don’t worry, Mom, the kitchen and the kids will get sloppy, but the dried mâché crumbles right off any clothes, making everything easily washable.
