I had a few things planned. Writing, math, maybe practice with money. Today, Faith had other ideas. She wanted to do a "project". Not only did she want to do a project, but she wanted it to be a "gooey one". Well, far be it from me to say no to gooey fun.
We made paper mache!
First I cooked up a batch. Super easy! 4 cups water, 1 cup flour, heat on the stove stirring constantly until it becomes a paste. Throw a few ice cubes in to cool it down and voila, you have warm, gooey, paper mache.
Next Faith decided that she wanted to make something for her sisters for Christmas. I emptied out a couple of containers of French Fried Onions and they were perfect for our project. We're still not sure what exactly they will end up to be. A vase? A pen holder? A storage container? We will figure that out when it's time to decorate. For now, they are slathered with newspaper and paper mache and are sitting out to dry. That is all that matters.
I asked Faith, "So, did I find a gooey enough project for you today?".
"Oh yea", she said.
