Belly cast recipe?

[Kari]

Does anyone know how to make a belly cast? I would love to try one with this
baby and would like to have the kids help me with it but I have no idea what
it entails or how to make one! If anyone has any good concoctions for making
a sturdy belly cast I would love to hear about it. Thanks!

You need plaster of paris. And here are some instructions:

Oh, you will need gesso also. You should be able to pick both of these up at
most art supply stores.

Thanks! I appreciate it :) I'll let you guys know how it goes and maybe post
some pics afterwards. I probably wont be doing it for another month but now
I can get my stuff ready. Woohoo!! Messy fun!
