- Instructions
-
-
Attach a wooden paint stirrer as a handle to the bottom of each plate. To help the handle lie flat over the plate rim, cut a tab in the plate that´s the same width as the stirrer. Then glue the handle to the tab and the back of the mask.
-
Set out magazines, markers, crayons, and other decorating supplies along with glue sticks and scissors.
-
Hand each child a mask and ask her to pair up with a pal. Have the paired-up kids sit face-to-face so they can do a portrait of each other using the supplies set out for hair, eyes, lips, noses, freckles, and other features. If your crowd isn´t big enough to pair everyone up, let the kids make self-portraits.
-
Use sharp scissors to make eyeholes for those artists desiring real "vision" in their portraits.
