This mask activity is designed for older kids, but if you have
the time to make the bases, you can use it with grades K-3.
They require 9"x12" colored construction paper, and I'd use a
variety of colors.

Although the directions explain how to use ruler to create the
mask base itself, you can use a paper cutter to skip this
step. It's possible to cut four masks at once, and to save
time, I'd staple the forms instead of gluing them.

After the bases are made, the kids can cut a little off each
corner to round it, and then show them some basic ways to work
with paper, as discussed in the activity, to decorate.

Unless you reinforce the sides, these are more for decoration
than wearing. If you want specific directions about cutting
using the paper cutter, send me an e-mail.

Put on a Happy Face!
