papier-mâché project
A MINI MENAGERIE Believe it or not, these fantastic animal heads are made from nothing more than cereal boxes, newspaper, flour paste, and paint—a simple project that Los Angeles art teacher Samara Caughey loves doing with her young students because it stretches their creative muscles. To make the creatures at home with your kids: 1| Start with a regular or mini cereal box. From the bottom, cut halfway up each corner seam with scissors. 2| To shape the animal’s face, cut a curve into the bottom half of the front and back panels. (Make it pointier for a fox, rounder for a dog or a bunny.) Use masking tape to attach the side flaps along each edge. Trim excess. MORE
