STEM on Stage

Some recent feedback from the STEM on Stage Assembly: "The STEM assembly was very engaging and held myncouragement that myfun and

students' attention! A thorough description of STEM
was given with great examples that my students could
relate to. I especially liked the e
students were given to read every day. It was
motivating to my students AND they were better
learners throughout the day (as they had been inspired
and encouraged so well at the beginning of our day with
the assembly). THANK YOU for such a
educational experience."
Shelly Beutler, 2022 -Fourth grade

"Thank you for coming to [our] Elementary and presenting your incredible concept of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The kids (and adults) LOVED you and your presentation, and learned SO MUCH! And adding the "magic" theme to everything made it all seem so fun and educational.
I am so grateful for people like you that care so much for our children and their education. And for working so hard to make things work during this tricky time of the pandemic. It worked out very well to have a few classes come to watch in person, with the rest watching in their classrooms via Zoom. It was so much fun! And I hope that more schools will invite you to come present in this way.

Thank you for all you do. And utilizing your talents and knowledge in creating such a unique, fun, and educational way to teach and inspire our children."
-Amanda B., Elementary School Teacher, February 2021

Paul and Brooklyn have teamed up with the scientists at the STEM Action Center of Utah to create a show that displays the magic of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Book one for your school with the form above.

Drum Circles are a lot of fun, but if you've never been to one before you might not know what to expect and be a little inhibited and nervous.

But, don't worry! If you keep these things in mind you'll have a great time and get a lot out of the experience.

What's a Drum Circle Anyway?

A drum circle is a group of people with drums who learn to express themselves and to communicate with the other members of the by sharing in the music they are making with the drum. Drum Circles break down social barriers, and bring people together.

Do I have to be a musician to be in a Drum Circle?

Absolutely not! Drum Circles are not meant to be serious and stressful music making events or concerts. Everybody can play a drum and whatever you do with your drum is correct. The beauty is that you can never make a mistake in a drum circle. Everything is cool! The only possible mistake you could make is not to have fun.

I have to play in a drum circle soon and I don't know what to do or what to play.

Keep it simple. You're not expected to be a virtuoso on the drum. Just play what you feel

Don't hit the drum too hard because it's not necessary and you'll just end up hurting your hands

Watch this video to learn a couple of easy drum circle patterns that will give you confidence.

Paper mache crafting involves molding strips of paper and an adhesive into three-dimensional objects. Once dried, the material is hard and can be painted or otherwise decorated any way you like. While you can purchase pre-made paper mache paste from craft stores, it's also quick and easy to make your own. There are various recipes, including the less common resin paper mache paste. While resin paper mache paste isn't as easy to clean up as standard paper mache paste recipes, it's still a good paste to use. It dries to a very hard finish, making it ideal for when you want your finished project to be especially strong and durable. Use resin paper mache paste for crafts you want to last a long time, not a temporary object like a piñata.

Tip

When making this paste, avoid using cooking equipment that you still use to prepare food. You often can find inexpensive pots and other kitchen gear at secondhand stores that you can use for crafting.

A Brief History of Paper Mache

The French term papier-mâché translates to "chewed paper." Traditionally, there were many variations of paper mache used in places including ancient Egypt, the Middle East, and Europe. Coffins in Egypt were typically made from layers of papyrus or linen and then covered with plaster. In Persia, paper mache was also used to create small trays and containers that were then decoratively painted. Places like China, India, and Japan used paper mache to create fancy components for protective military gear.

Other paper mache objects created around the world throughout history have included paper boats, masks, and observatory domes. Today in the United States, paper mache is mostly used for carnival floats, puppetry, theater sets and costumes, and arts and crafts projects.

Discover how easy it is to create amazing paper mache works of art. Start by deciding what you want to make-the possibilities are almost limitless with paper mache. Two of the more popular items to make are a pinata and volcano. When you know what you want to make, then create the base or form for your project.

1. Prepare the Paste

Decide what type of paper mache paste works best for your project, then prepare it. You have three options for paste:

No-Cook Paste Recipe: This simple recipe requires only flour, water, a bowl, and a whisk.

Cooked Paste Recipe: Although this recipe is similar to the no-cook version, the paste is a little stronger and smoother.

Resin Paper Mache Paste Recipe: Resin will give your finished paper mache project a hard finish, making your finished projects more durable.

2. Repeat the Process

Once the first layer is dry, apply a second layer of newspaper strips and let it dry completely. Repeat this process until you get the desired look, but you should have at least three layers of newspaper strips. Again, let each layer dry completely.

Tip

If you want to add smaller details to your project, you can use a pulp recipe. This pulp can be used like clay.

Traditional tutorials on how to make paper-mache involve glue, boiling hot water, and newspaper. Not only can this be dangerous for young children, the newspaper ink usually stains your pots. Thankfully, there are much easier ways to go about making a paper-mache paste.

This is definitely the easiest paper-mache recipe you can make. It is simple, non-toxic, and inexpensive; plus, you only need a few supplies, most of which you probably already have around the house. Grab the kids, and dive in; it's a fun project, and they will love the messy, goopy texture. Better yet, you will love the easy cleanup.

Supplies Needed

Steps to Make Paper-Mache Paste

To make this paper-mache recipe, you will need one part flour to two parts water. Make as much paste as you need for the project. If you need more, you can quickly mix another batch since no cooking is needed.

1. Pour the flour and water in a large bowl and stir it well. You want the mixture to be thin, with a consistency similar to pancake batter.

2. Keep mixing until there are very few lumps left.

3. Add more water or flour as needed, until the mix is runny like white glue, not thick like a paste.

Store this paper-mache paste in a covered bowl or jar in the refrigerator for a few days.

Tips

If you don't like the smell of the glue mixture, add a pinch of cinnamon for fragrance.

Add a few drops of food coloring to the glue, if necessary, but use care as food coloring can stain fabric.

If you live in an area with high humidity, add a few tablespoons of salt to prevent mold.

Though it is uncommon, some people with sensitive skin may have an allergic reaction to the flour mixture. A mild rash is the most common reaction. If your child has very sensitive skin, a pair of rubber gloves will protect them.

Fun Ways to Play With DIY Paper-Mache

Paper-mache can be used for a variety of craft projects, so let your imagination run wild. Get started with these ideas:

Paper-mache pinata: Make this project for any party, especially birthdays. Put together the paper-mache pinata, let it dry, and then fill it with candy.

Paper-mache globe: Cover a balloon with this paper-mache mix and let it dry. Once dry, pop the balloon, and it is ready to paint with blue and green to represent the Earth. It can even be incorporated into a science fair project and used to represent other planets.

Paper-mache volcano: Use your new paper-mache skills to make your very own volcano. With a few common household items like vinegar and food coloring, you can make it erupt with red lava.

Paper-mache spiders: While you are getting all crafty for that Halloween party, create your own family of spiders. The technique is similar to the globe.

Paper-mache bowls: Whether you cannot get enough of paper-mache or have leftover paste from another project, paper-mache bowls are an easy option. It's a useful craft that can hold all your trinkets and be painted in many fun ways.
