Panda Mask

A search of my cupboard this week showed me that the one item we lack is a paper plate. It is rather hard to make a paper plate mask without one. However, since the kids wanted to make the mask now and not at an unspecified date in the distant future, we needed to find an alternative.

We unearthed some plastic plates in the kitchen cupboard to make the mask. Because it was a plastic plate I cut out the holes for the eyes and found a picture of a panda for the kids to copy. This is what they came up with. The ears are made from scraps of furry material glued onto cardboard. The rest is just a black marker.

Finally we found a paddle pop stick to tape on to hold the mask in place. Much easier than having to tie and untie the strings all the time.
