We've been working all week to get ready for O's birthday party. One of our projects was making a pinata. It was easy and fun, and O thoroughly enjoyed herself. We'll definitely do this again!

1st we mixed 2 cups of flour with 3 cups of water

Then we dipped strips of torn newspapers into the mixture

We squeezed some of the excess water out

We then smoothed the pieces of newspaper out onto the balloon. After we covered the entire balloon, we let it dry. Then we put a second layer of paper mache on the balloon.

After the balloon was dry, we painted it green (O's choice). Then she and Guh-guh painted different colored polka dots on it. I added strings and a cup last night to make it into a hot air balloon.

Its simple and not that pretty, but the kids LOVED it!
