Description

Papier-mâché is a craft that anyone can do. All that’s required to make the 11 colorful, practical and inexpensive creatures in this book in the Kids Can Do It series is water, newspaper, flour and a few items from around the house, such as aluminum foil, a frozen-juice container or string.

Using odds and ends, and following the easy step-by-step instructions, kids can make such handy items as

  • a money-munching fish bank
  • a lion magazine holder
  • a bug vase
  • cat and mouse bookends
  • a giraffe pencil holder
  • an elephant box

These wacky creations make perfect gifts — that is, if kids can bear to part with them!
