Paper Mache Flowers

As we  mentioned in our blog yesterday, our children were very interested in continuing with the paper mache art work, and we decided to try the whole process over again in our classroom.  Using heavy cardboard tubes and leaf shape cardboard attachments we worked to construct a stem.  We experimented with making our own paper mache paste by mixing flour, water and glue together.  We were not exactly sure of what the consistency was suppose to be,so we tried several different  mixtures.

The sensory exploration that this project offered was wonderful !  We hope that our stem will dry and if the structure seems to work, then we will make a few more larger than life flowers in the coming days.
