So, to ensure that you are going in the right direction, these online platforms emphasize a lot on material and mixtures in their tutorials.

Craft for Kids:
The penultimate website in this list to learn Paper Mache art is Craft for Kids. It contains lots of different tutorials for kids of all ages. There are tutorials that children as small as 3 years can also try out. The website, against every Paper Mache tutorial, mentions the minimum age limit required to learn that craft. This is done to ensure that only kids who are aware of the material being used and have the maturity to handle complications should undertake that craft. The tutorials are very elaborate and images are available after every step, for better understanding. The website does not provide any video tutorials.

Enchanted Learning:
Enchanted Learning is the final website to learn Paper Mache art. The website is mainly meant for children where they can learn to make different figures. It is meant for children because the figures that are taught and explained on this website are very basic, simple and children can relate to them. You can learn to make things like Dinosaur eggs, Hats, Piggy bank, Globe etc. The items you can learn on this website are also very limited (around 15). All these website are shown on the home page, and you can choose the one from which you would like to read the tutorial. The tutorials are brief and simple (since the items are also simple to make) and there are no video tutorials available.
