Paper Mache Recipe

1 cup water
Mix in 1/4 cup flour until thin and runny

Stir this mixture into 5 cups lightly boiling water. Gently boil for 2-3 minutes. Cool until you can dip paper into mixture without burning yourself.

Eggs

Make paper mache paste as above. When cool pour into pie tin. Blow up a balloon and tape to a table. Dip strips of newspaper in paste and place carefully on balloon. Continue overlapping pieces of newspaper on balloon. Cover balloon completely and let dry. It may take overnight to dry, particularly if children have used lots of paste. Once dry decorate the dried balloon with paint or colored tissue in pretty pastel Easter colors. Finish with shellac for a shiny, glazed effect.

Eggshell Mosaic

A great way to use up the remains of the Easter eggs. Children will love breaking up the eggshells.

Colored eggshells
construction paper
crayon, pen or marker
glue

On a piece of paper have child draw a simple design (e.g. flower, balloon, kite, egg). Spread glue in design area. Sprinkle bits of broken eggshells onto glue. Allow to dry then hang and enjoy.

Clothespin Bunnies

Old fashion style wooden clothes pin (The one piece style)
Paint (white, pink or light brown tempera)
Googly eyes
Have the children paint the clothes pin. After the paint is dry they add the eyes to the pin. The pin will be upside down so that the bunny will have ears.
