Make paper mache creatures with the kids today.

Make your own less expensive version of paper mache with flour and water and newspaper.

Mix flour and water in a bowl until it has a goopy consistency and then dip in strips of newspaper. You can blow up balloons and use them as a base to cover with the paper mache strips. A large balloon that is half covered could become a mask, a small balloon completely covered could be a dragon’s egg.

Once the paper mache dries, pop the balloon and let your child’s imagination run wild with painting and decorating.
