This was a BIG project but worth the effort. The girls started by tearing lots of newspapers into 1 inch strips.
They stuffed plastic bags with newspaper to form the body, head, and tail of each cat. Then, they cut paper towel tubes and to make the front legs. They used LOTS of masking tape to get the shape just right.
Then the girls mixed the glue - flour, salt & warm water. They dipped each strip of newspaper in the glue, one at a time and put it on the cat's form.
Almost done with the newspaper strips. These had to dry overnight.
Marcella paints her cat hot pink.
We are always impatient for paint to dry... Marcella speeds up the process with a hair dryer.
Cameron's cat is blue.
Add stars and ribbons and the cats are complete!
Notice the watercolor paintings on the top of their dressers.
These girls are multi-talented!
