We used to make them on a dinner plate at school then progressed to a tray! Instead of the mirror for the pond we used to use a tobacco tin and fill it with water!! Another school project used to be making puppets. You take a piece of cardboard and wrap it around your finger to get the size, then secure it and keep adding stips of paper soaked in wallpaper paste. When enough layers had been built you made a blob for the nose, stuck this on and then added more strips of paper, add eyes and mouth by using thin blobs of paper, and then cover this, paint it and add some cotton waste for the hair. This made the head the body was made by using a piece of material draped over the hand, and the finger you measured the tube with made the head move!! Simple but great fun!! Oh what we did in those days for enjoyment, probably get put away these days if we did this!! Chris --- All of our Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
