Fun Stuff to Do- Paper Mache Pumpkin

I bet you want to make a paper mache pumpkin, right? Well, that's why I'm here, to tell you how. What You Need: Paper, Flour, Water, a Balloon, and Black and Orange paint 1. Before you start you need to make your mache(the paper will come in later). To do that mix your water and flour together until you get a pasty substance. It should look like a thick milkshake,but don't eat it! Make sure you have 1 or 2 bowls, 2 preferably. 2. The next step is hard if you can't blow a balloon. So, take a balloon and blow it up until its an oval or a circle (ask a parent if you can't). Then tie the end. 3. This part is messy so put out newspaper in your work space. Take the paper and cut it into thin pieces. Enough to cover the entire balloon twice is enough. Dip each piece into the mache. Take it out and put it on the blown up balloon. Keep doing that until the balloon is covered completely. Once it's dry put a second layer. 4.After it's completely dry paint it orange and paint a jack o'lantern face on it. 5. Then pop the balloon inside, oh, if you want to make it a pinata leave a hole in the top that's not covered in mache. That's it, once its dry hang it up or fill it with candy!
