How to make a Halloween handprint mask

What you need:

construction paper (black or any other color)
glue
skewers, large craft sticks, or paper straws if working with young children
drag
paint (optional)

Step-by-step instructions

If using skewers, you can let your child decorate with ribbon.

Apply glue to fabric ribbon (or use paper) and wrap it around the skewer.

Set aside and let the glue set.

Fold a sheet of construction paper (in our case black) in half, place your hand on it (fingers facing the open end) and draw around it.

Cut out (make sure not to cut the fold).

Open your hand of construction paper.

Use a pencil to mark the eye opening position on the mask.

Cut holes for the eyes.

Decorate the mask however you see fit. Draw dots or add different colored shapes from construction paper… Anything goes!

If you want to give the mask a little volume to hug your face, turn the mask over and tape the “thumbs” together.

Take a skewer, paper straw or craft stick and stick it on the mask (one side).

All has been done! Your Halloween handprint mask is complete.
