  • Decorations, such as feathers, stickers, decals, puffy paints, markers, glitter, and so on
  • Non-toxic glue
  • Mirror

Learning Skills

  • Creativity and imagination
  • Fine motor skills

Instructions

  1. Pass out plain masks to each child and let them try them on.
  2. Have them take off the masks and decorate them with the supplies on hand.
  3. Provide help as needed, and supervision as they work.
  4. When the masks are finished, have the kids put them on again and look in the mirror.
  5. Ask them to act out the way the mask makes them feel—happy, scary, shy, silly, angry, and so on.
  6. For added fun, ask them to guess who's behind each mask!
