I just bought three distinct Papier-mâché houses from WalMart at $4.98 each. Looks like they are intended for Halloween use so they didn't have many. I will post pics later. But they are quite complex shapes which lend themselves well to decorating for different occasions. Base sizes are about 8 inches wide and 5 inches deep, so a little larger than the usual Japanese vintage ones. But for the price, they are a steal. In the same end cap of the craft section they were offering acrylic paints for $0.50 per bottle to decorate these. Grab a cheap bag of assorted brushes, a few paints, and a house or two and have fun with the kids. How else are they going to learn about putzing? And pick up a few more to decorate for Christmas.
