Everything families ask us before their first mash.
Feed clean, dry recycled paper — junk mail, cereal boxes, packaging — into the machine along with a splash of Dough Slime. The machine mashes the paper down into a smooth, moldable dough that can be colored and shaped in the included forms.
Yes. The $80 kit includes the machine, shaping forms, and packaging boxes, but it needs Dough Slime to turn paper into dough. Dough Slime is sold separately for $10 a bottle, and one bottle covers multiple mashing sessions.
Recycle Mashup is designed for kids ages 6 to 11. Younger kids in that range should have an adult nearby for setup and for feeding paper into the machine.
Clean, dry paper and paper packaging work best — junk mail, cereal and cracker boxes, cardboard, and similar paper products. Wet, greasy, or heavily laminated paper should be avoided.
Yes. Dough that dries out or does not turn out as planned can be mashed again with a fresh splash of Dough Slime, so one kit supports many rounds of creating.
The kit includes the Recycle Masher Dough Machine, several shaping forms for molding dough into different creations, and foldable boxes for packaging finished pieces to give away or sell.
