Considering this was the first time using papier mache for most of my 5th grade students, I am so proud of how well they did! Inspired by Phyl (the papier mache lady), I had my 5th grade class (Dolezal) create life-sized sculptures of cats and dogs. This project took 5 classes to complete (and trust me, the students would have used more time to work on these if it was possible - they really got into it!) We used Jewel bags filled with newspaper, paper towel rolls, ping-pong balls, and a lot of masking tape! What is more adorable than a dog with one ear up? Check out the accessories on this cat!!!! This cat is sporting some awesome patterns AND a mustache. :)
