Now that school is back in session, we are tackling all sorts of high level educational projects in my house. This week we had to create a replica of Mount Saint Helens before and after the volcanic explosion! Thankfully, I had some advance warning on this engineeringproject, otherwise it would have been me exploding!
In any event, we mulled our options and decided to rediscover paper mache. We built our structure using boxes, plastic containers, and masking tape. I looked up the paper mache recipe. My son gleefullyripped the newspaperinto thin strips. Then, I stopped in my tracks. I soon realized what a mess I could have on my hands. I did not wantthat flour and water pasteon the table, chairs, walls, fingers, and sweatshirts! So I decided to see if my trusty little Le Creuset pastry brush would tackle the job and keep the mess to a minimum.
Much to my delight the pastry brush worked as well for paper mache as it does for pastry! Whew! A kitchen disaster diverted just in time! Have you used any kitchen gear to tackle those school projects?
