MASKS!!!!


Mask Creation


Materials
*Masks, either bought or drawn
(I recommend buying some for $2 at the grocery shop and then keep one as a template for next time!)


*Glue or glue stick
(PVA Glue is best to stick heavier pretties) And to make them extra special add acrylic paint to the pva glue. *Glue sticks are better for little hands.


*Pretty things to paste
(Glitter, shiny paper, alfoil, feathers, material, wrapping paper, buttons)

This activity encourages fine motor skills, cognitive development, social interaction and creativity.
Children will love to make this mask and may further the experience by using it in pretend play!

* More themed mask could be made by adding different materials to create animal masks, eg. Black and white striped material could be a zebra, leopard print could be a leopard.
The ideas are endless!!!!!

The beauty of this activity is that it is pretty inexpensive and most of the materials can be found in your own home!!!

Enjoy!!!!
