- Elmer’s glue + water to mix for the paste,
- a bowl, mixing stick or spoon,
- paint,
- brush,
- table cover.
If you are working on a table or counter that is really special, be sure to use additional newspaper or a plastic table cloth to cover it so nothing gets stained! This project is meant to be done in steps so the recommended schedule is:
Week 1: Make 1/2 the paper mache paste and create the giraffe
Week 2: Paint the giraffe!
Week 3: Use the second half of the glue to mix more paper mache paste and create an elephant (or any other project you want).. An elephant is just an idea so there aren’t directions, just have fun, be creative and see where it takes you!
Week 4: Paint the project you made during week 3!
