The Puddle People Hour - 6th Show

Today’s Guest: We were happy to welcome Katherine Reschke to the show. We discussed getting an active 3 year old to settle down for a group storytime and getting a stubborn child to listen to his parents.
Craft:
Easter Egg Pinata
Materials:
- Strips of newspaper
- balloon
- thin glue
- colored tissue paper
- scissors
- string
- Prepare the papier mache glue.
- Blow up the balloon and tie it
- Dip the newspaper strips into the glue one at a time making them completely wet. Plaster them onto the balloon until the balloon is completely covered. Make sure newspaper overlaps.
- Allow to dry
- Cut a hole in the top, popping the balloon. Keep the piece you cut out.
- Take the popped balloon out of the paper mache shape
