The little pink school bus that could


   
 Paper Mache is one of my all time favorite mediums.  My daughter had a project in 5th grade that required her to have a “pink school bus”; MOM to the rescue!  While I’m sure most parents cringe at these types of projects, I’m as happy as a clam when there’s a hands-on project to do.  My daughter doesn’t yet have the love of Arts & Crafts the way I do (I’m still holding out hope) so to her these projects are sheer drudgery.  Here is my process for taking a couple of empty boxes and turning them into the bus from Savvy!
