For Judah's first birthday, we did a barnyard theme complete with masks. Will he found the leftover duck, the horse, the cow, and the pig masks the other day in the cupboard and has been playing with them ever since.
After looking at the craft book last night he decided he wanted to make a sheep. And that is when I came up with the idea of doing a sheep mask for his collection. We had fun doing just that this morning. And Judah even practiced his gluing objects.
Supplies
Small cotton balls
Black felt
Black pom pom
White paper plate
Scissors
Elmer's glue
Elastic string or a jumbo Popsicle stick
Pen
Hole punch
Instructions
First I took a small medicine bottle in the shape of a circle to trace for eyes. I cut these holes out. Next, Judah started dipping the white cotton balls into glue and sticking them onto the paper. I glued on a black pom pom for the nose and black felt triangles for the ears. Judah found the little colored pom poms to glue and we decided our sheep would have colored spots. Finally I took a hole punch and cut out holes tying the elastic string to the size of his head. However, a large Popsicle stick at the bottom would also allow a child to hold up the mask.
