Raining Cats And Dogs
You Will Need:
• Two bowls
• Five plastic cups
• Some paper maché
• Lots of lengths of wool
• An elastic strap
• Some cling film
• Some water balloons
• Some A4 pieces of card
• Try and catch the water balloon cats and dogs in the upside down umbrellas - complete with comedy wigs!
• To make the game, get your Finger Tips on two bowls.
• One of the bowls needs to be able to fit over your head and the other one needs to be a bit bigger.
• Cover them both in two layers of cling film.
• To get the umbrella shape, you'll need about five plastic cups.
• Cut off the bottom and carefully cut up the side.
• Bend the cup back on itself, so that you get a crease in the middle.
• Then turn the bowl over and tape the cup on like this.
• Continue all the way round with the other cups to get the umbrella shape.
• Add some paper maché to the bottom of the head bowl - just cover the base for the time being.
• Go carefully when doing this because it might be quite heavy especially if the bowl is made from glass!
• Cover both bowls with at least 3 layers of paper maché.
• Make sure the joint in between the two bowls is really strong.
• Leave it to dry for a couple of days.
• The paper maché needs to be thoroughly dry before you try to remove the bowls, plastic cups and cling film.
• When it's dry you can paint it - this one's done in Finger Tips colours!
• Don't forget to paint the inside as well.
• Then for comedy effect, and maximum comfort, you can add a crazy wig.
• Do this by sticking on lots of lengths of wool.
• Add on an elastic chin strap.
• The rain for the cats and dogs game comes from filling water balloons.
• Stick on some card legs and a couple of card ears. You could even use a left over strand of wool for the tail!
• So don't be a wet weekend, make the Raining Cats and Dogs game!
