How fun is the pictures during Halloween?!! I love all the fun things we get to make,
pretend, and explore during Halloween! This
is the time of year I hear the most “take a picture of me” coming from the
kids. The dress-up bins are always out
and imaginations are flying freely. So,
to help the kids have a blast and increase the fun photo’s we decided to make
masquerade masks for pictures!
You Need:
Construction paper
A dole or straw
Scissors
Contact paper
Decorating items (stickers, buttons, ect)
Start by cutting out a rectangle that will fit the kid’s
head. You can do this by holding the paper up to the kid and finding where the
end of the nose it and just below their hairline. Now, hold up the rectangle and measure where
the eyes and nose will hit. Cut a
triangle out for the nose and two ovals for the eyes. Let the kids decorate away!
Once decorate attach your straw or dole to one side of your
mask. You can cover this in contact
paper if you wish to help avoid items from falling off. Now snap away! Stash the masks by putting them in an empty
can so the kids can pair them up with their dress-up choices. Cut some lip shapes out and attach them to
doles and straws too! Maybe some
mustaches or funny nose shapes? Whatever
funny thing you can think of to hold up to a face for a great photo opportunity!
