Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Tip : If you don't have 6-oz custard cups, try shaping the mashed potato heads using a small bowl, or wet your hands and form them by hand.
  • Tip 2
    Tip : Set out bowls of the ingredients for faces, and let your kids use whatever they like to create their own monsters.
