Fun with Paper Mache!

 

Paper Mache projects are always fun and messy in a good way. You are probably familiar with putting paper mache on a balloon to make a globe, maybe a piñata, or even an Easter egg. But did you know you can purchase a paper mache mask that is ready to decorate? The mask is 8” by 6”. Maybe you could decorate it and then put it on something like a free paint stirring stick from the hardware store. Be creative and let the children’s minds explore what they can do with this!

Choose the right trash can liner size

 

If you’re like many people, you often put a can liner in a trash can and have a lot more “bag” than you do trash can! And, the thin liner breaks as you empty the trash can. Or, you pull out the x-tra-heavy liner and it feels so lightweight – because the liner is too heavy for the light contents – it feels like the bag is full of air. Choosing the right liner isn’t difficult, it’s just something that we don’t take time to do. But, choosing the right liner could mean a large cost savings overall, less ‘waste’ (no pun intended!), and less frustration.

• Ask:
  1. Where are you using it?
  2. What are you using it for? (what is going in it?)
  3. What are the dimensions of my trash can?
  4. What types and sizes of can liners are available for my situation?

Answer these questions and your on the way to choosing the right liners for all your containers!

For great pricing on daycare can liners and trash bags visit us at www.purefunsupply.com. We offer a wide variety of daycare trash bags that will be perfect for your center.

Changing Table Sheets: Superhero Breastplate Daycare Craft!

Changing Table Sheets: Superhero Breastplate Craft!

What child doesn’t want to be a superhero? This new craft uses a changing table sheet to make a superhero breastplate. The craft can be as simple or as elaborate as you would like. It is fun for preschoolers through 1^st graders and can be used in a child care center, home school, or elementary school. You can use small, deli style, 10” x 15” size changing table ½ sheets for 2 and 3 year olds and I might suggest using full size 16” x 24” changing table sheets for 4 to 6 year olds.

Superhero Breastplate

Materials Needed:

1 – Changing table sheet

1 – Hole puncher

4 – Paper hole reinforcers

1 – 2’ length of thick yarn

Various colors of crayons and/or markers

Instructions:

Step 1: Using the hole puncher, make a hole 1” down from the top and 2” from the left side of the changing table sheet. Make a hole 1” down from the top and 2” from the right side.

Step 2: Place a paper hole reinforcer on each hole, front and back.

Step 3: Gently tie the ends of the yarn in each hole.

Step 4: Use the crayons and/or markers to create a one-of-a-kind breastplate.

Options:

1) Instead of using yarn to put the breastplate on, use two clothes pins.

2) Use glue and fabric scraps to decorate the breastplate – allow to dry overnight.

3) Use glitter glue for a fancy breastplate.

4) If you want the children to have a more unified look, pre-cut the design or symbol you want with construction paper. Have the children glue it on.

5) Make it a CAPE! Use 1 to 2 inch ribbon instead yarn and turn the breastplate around to be a cape.

Have a superhero day; check out my craft on superhero masks using 6” paper plates. You can also consider decorating disposable shoe covers to put over the children’s shoes as superhero boots. Use spray paint to make them the color you want, let dry completely, and then use permanent markers to make them unique.
