Papier-mâché mountains

Children build a mountain relief model and learn about the highest peaks of Poland.

Steps

1. Conversation: what mountain ranges exist in Poland and what the highest peak is called (Rysy).
2. Children crumple newspapers into mounds and paste them over with paper strips and paste.
3. After drying, they paint the mountains: green foothills, gray crags, white peaks.
4. They add small flag markers with peak names.
5. Older children arrange the peaks in order from highest.

Tip: Wallpaper paste is inexpensive and well-suited for papier-mâché crafts.
