BY THE WAY...

April Fool's Day Craft:  Fake Spills

They look like a mess, but they're actually solid!  Make them to trick mom, dad or the lunchroom supervisor on April Fool's Day.
 

Materials:

• white glue (regular school glue)
• white paint (we used acrylic paint)
• favorite breakfast cereal
• plastic spoon
• plastic wrap (saran wrap)
• plastic cup or other small container you can dispose of

Instructions:

• Pour white glue into plastic cup or other disposable container -- You don't have to be really fussy about the amounts you use... we used a plastic cup and filled it about 1/3 of the way full.
   
• Add about 1 tsp of white paint.  (Again, you don't have to be exact).
   
• Stir well with plastic spoon.
   
• Cover tray or cookie sheet with plastic wrap (the project takes a few days to dry so you'll want something you can move out of the way).
   
• Pour your glue/paint mixture onto the saran wrap and just let it ooze out into a spill shape.
   
• Scrape out as much as you can using your spoon.
   
• Discard your cup or container
   
• OPTIONAL:  Put your spoon into the spill (so it looks like the spoon was spilled too).
   
• Sprinkle some cereal into the spill (we used cheerios).
   
• Set aside for at least 2 days to dry (it may take a bit longer or shorter depending on the climate you live in) -- you can speed up the process by putting it near a heat source (for example, turn an oven on as low as you can, let it heat and then turn it off -- pop the project in the cooling oven for awhile) -- make sure the heat source isn't TOO hot -- we don't want smoldering acrylic paint!
   
• When it's dry, peel off the plastic wrap and place your 'spill' somewhere where it'll fool people!

EXPERIMENT A BIT!  Use different colors of paint to make different kinds of spill... we used pink paint, a single serving yogurt container and a spoon to make a "yogurt spill".
