paper mache

Bunki,

        I have a question about paper mache. We are making animolitos with the
8th grade. The armatures look pretty good. I was going to have them
cover it with newspaper and paper mache. The art room I inherited has no
Ross' art paste, which is what I have at home (several boxes) and have
used before. I have 2 classes of 32. Yet I don't have the money that the
PTS still owes me (40$) and no time to order it. (class is tomorrow-we
have a snow day today).My question is,Would flour and water do? Seems
like that's all I used when I was young to make pinatas. Took a long
time to dry. I personally have 5 boxes of art paste, but I found a 10
pound bag of cake flour in the art room and I can't imagine any other
use for it. What do you think???
        Please answer today if you can.
Thanks,
Sandra
