1 cup of Plaster of Paris (do not pack)
Almost 1/2 cup water
Liquid or powdered tempera paint
Margarine tubs or other disposable mixing containers

clean-up)
1.Pour Plaster of Paris into a
container. Using disposable stick, stir in most of
the water.
2.Add 2-3 tablespoons of liquid
tempera, mixing well, especially at the bottom.
3.Add a little more water so that

trays from manicotti noodles, paper cups, toilet

completely dry.
