Papier mâché toute la journée

The slot-together templates take all the guesswork out of sculpting, so even my five-year-old ended up with a recognizable flower on her first try. We just added water to the mix and spent a whole rainy afternoon on it. Way less messy than I braced for.

My kids made the capybara and a dino on a rainy Saturday and the slot-together templates kept the whole thing from turning into a blob. The mix just needs water, which meant no extra trip to the store. Way less messy than I braced for, and they're already planning a mask next.

I made the capybara with my niece and we had zero mess until we actually added water to the mix. The dino template is a good next challenge, and it's nice that you can just freehand once you get the hang of the layers.
