So we took a break from hitting the books and did some art. My youngest sons birthday was yesterday (april 25th) and we are celebrating it this weekend on the 30th so as an art project we are doing a paper mache pinata in the shape of a koala. The kids LOVED doing this but it surely was messy. So far we only have 2 layers on it and are waiting for them to dry up a bit before adding the last 2 layers.
We used a balloon, lots of newspaper cut into 2in x 5in strips, and for the paper mache we used 2 cups water and 1 cup flour. I heard you can use glue and lots of other stuff, but this happened to be the tutorial we found first and just went with it so flour and water it was. So far so good ;)
My dinning room floor is still covered in newspapers until we can finish the other layers which Im hoping will get done today. Then we will paint him gray and add the candy =D
Pictures to come soon.
Share your pinata ideas, recipes and photos if you can =)
