Today I brought some balloons & flour to do some paper mache hides. I firstly used the large oblong balloon & then secondly a round one, and used the flour & water mix with newspaper to build up a shell around the baloon. I then brought some kids metallic paint & I will be painting them when they have dried. Obviously this will get poohed on etc so it wont last long, but I figured my little one, the way he is eating, will outgrow it soon enough anyway.. I can then make more!!

Can anyone tell me if the non Toxic kids paint is OK to use ?

Also has anyone got any pictures of hides & Viv accessories they have made please ?
This is a good idea and practical.The part about the paint though i am not sure of to tell you the truth.I think i would pass on it just to be safe.
