We did this:

We made Piñatas
We make paper dolls!

Blow up a balloon

Recipe for Paper Mache
measure out 2 cups of flour
and
2 cups of water
and
1 Tablespoon of salt
Mix very well in a bowl
until there are no lumps.
Tear Newspaper into strips
If you leave it folded
tear long-wise
that is easier
because you are tearing with the grain of the paper.
Dip the strips into the paste
slide it through two fingers to remove excess paste
Place upon the balloon
one strip at a time
until you cover the entire surface
except, for the knotted area of the balloon.
put several layers onto balloon.
Place balloon in a dry place and allow a couple of days dry time.
We made ours into an egg shape to be
decorated with white glue and crepe paper.
Oh yes, you must pop the balloon after it dries.
We will fill these Piñatas with something good to eat
To be broken at the picnic.

These paper dolls are from
