Arts and Craft: Mask.

What you need: Popsicle stick, white paper plate or stiff construction paper, yarn, glue, scissors, crayons or markers. Make face on front of plate and glue popsicle stick to back.
Using the construction paper make a circle as big as your child's head. Cut circle out. Or use a round paper plate. This is the mask. Cut holes for eyes. You can cut out a nose and mouth hole. For the mouth hole you can show emotion by cutting the hole into a smile, a frown, an angry look, etc. Or you can just draw the mouth. For a scary Halloween look, draw big pointy teeth on the mouth with a scar nearby. Draw mean bushy eyebrows or make eyebrows out of yarn. For the nose you can make a long beak out of construction paper. Glue green and orange yarn on top of mask for hair.
If your child wants to look like a cat, draw whiskers around the nose and make pointy ears out of construction paper and glue them on top of the mask. Draw pretty long eyelashes around the eyeholes. Use your imagination. When you're done glue the popsicle stick to the bottom of the mask, in the back, making it a handle to hold up the mask in front of the face.

Alternative: For children over five-years-old. Instead of your child holding mask up with a popsicle stick you can also keep mask in place with an elastic band. But YOU MUST MAKE A BIG NOSE HOLE AND MOUTH HOLE IN MASK so your child can breathe. If you decide to use elastic you might want to use a paper plate that's not incredibly stiff. You can staple the elastic on the sides. Have your child try on the mask to make sure the elastic isn't too tight around their head. You can put masking tape over the staples. This could lessen the chance of faces scratches from the staples and from them getting caught in your child's hair. If you are concerned about using staples you can make tiny holes on the sides of mask to tie the elastic band in place. Note: It can get hot under a mask. Don't wear mask in extreme heat or near fire/sparks.
