Paper mache spider

Ok here is this years door decoration! A paper mache spider!

Ripping up the construction paper.

Sticking it on the plastic bowl.

More diluted white glue.

Dried body! (Overnight)

Prying it off the bowl by running a paintbrush handle under the paper.

It came off easy!

Adding legs!

Making balls of paper for the eyes to go on!

Glued down eyes!

Attached to our door!

Cute spider eh!

Not so scary door! LOL

Paper mache Pumpkin

Last year we made this paper mache pumpkin to hang on our door! We used two shades of orange copy paper - that was donated by my friend Pam. We tore it into small pieces - which was fun to do - and then covered a plastic bowl with diluted white glue and stuck on all the little pieces. Once all the pieces covered the entire bowl we gave it another good coating of glue - to smooth down all the edges. We finished the look with a traditional jack-o-lantern face! It was fun, easy and turned out great - now we have to think of something great for this year!
I have a little something in mind! Stay tuned!
BTW it peels off the plastic bowl very easily!

Monster slime

Today we made Monster Slime sensory bags - yucky!

Into a thick Ziploc freezer bag we put green glitter (scabs) - hair gel (blood) - wiggly eyes (monster eyes) - Easter grass (veins) and baby oil for extra slipperiness.

Oh yeah and don't forget the monster teeth!

(Beads from an old necklace)

It proved to be a very popular sensory bag!

Of course we taped it shut as well - just in case :)
