Make An Animal Mask

Today we will be making an animal mask. This project is one of the most popular ones at the studio-especially for younger kids. I generally precut the ear and nose pieces, but for this project I am letting you cut them since you are deciding what kind of animal you want to make. Here is what you will need:

• Cardboard Mask Base

• Felt with adhesive backing

• Tempera Paint Sticks

• Scissors

• Marker or Pencil

First, cover the mask with the tempera paint sticks. You can use multiple colors or draw a pattern if you like.Turn the felt on the white backing side and draw an ear. Then cut the ears out of the felt and stick them on. I show a trick to making each ear look the same which I show in the video below. After that, draw and cut out a nose, mouth, whiskers, etc on stick them on the mask.
