Who's Behind that Mask?

2010-06-11T21:44:00.015+10:00

My sister will be 21 at the end of the year and is currently planning her birthday bash. She has decided to theme the party "Masked Ball". Excited to try and make my own special mask for her party, I thought it would be a fun idea to trial first. I decided to make it into a fun activity with my little one and get him involved with the creativity! Even though he will probably be more interested in the glue than the finished product, I thought it would be a great way for him to expand his sense of touch and let him discover some different textures with the decorations!

As well as being a great activity to do with your little one, you will both have a unique and special mask that you can now play games with! Their imaginations are the limit!

I found this template at freefunfings.com. They provide instructions and are free to download. These templates are great to use as a guide for your masks. So let the decorating begin!
