Dy-no-mite Dino

Creating Barbwong's yellow-eyed, pointy-toothed, papier mache dino head will take you back to the Cretaceous period (and if not that far, at least to kindergarten). Uncertain where to begin, her initial research led her to a recipe for fail safe papier mache paste: 2 cups water, 1/2 cup flour, 2 Tbsp. sugar. And while to the layperson the final product seems a daunting task, this crafty mom confesses that her creation is "loads of fun to make, cheap (nearly free!) and it’s something the kid will play with for a while."
