MACARONI PICTURES

Have various shapes of pasta to choose from. Let children glue these
onto colored paper for creative pictures.

PLACE MATS

Let children draw their own pictures on fairly heavy paper. Use clear
contact paper to cover the front and back of the drawing. They now
have their own personal placemat. These make fun presents for Mom and
Dad for special occasions.


PAPIER MACHE

Dry laundry starch
cold water

Mix the starch and water in equal amounts. Stir completely. Let stand.
This will thicken. Tear newspaper or tissue paper into strips. Dip
these strips into mixture. Shape over a balloon or into a mask shape,
figures, animals, etc. Let dry 3 days or so, depending on thickness.
Paint with acrylic paints.


Title: Silly Putty
WARNING:  Non-Edible
2 cups white all-purpose glue
1 cup liquid starch

Mix together well. Set on trays for play, or use waxed paper. Can
be used as the commercial Silly Putty is. Store in an airtight container.

Title: Bubble Solution
    1/3 c  Dish soap or baby shampoo
  1 1/4 c  Water
      2 t  Sugar
      1 x  Food coloring

Combine ingredients and pour into an unbreakable bottle. To blow bubbles,
experiment using plastic straws, pipe cleaners formed into loops,
strawberry baskets from grocery store, spoons with holes in them and
other items you think of.
