(available at fabric stores)

and staples

knife or cutter knife

What to do:
- pre-cut out
the eye-holes of the mask using an exacto or cutter knife (Adults
only Please)
- pre-staple
the elastic thread onto each side of the paper plate as well as stapling
a strand at the top of the plate and then tying it into the centre
of the cross thread to prevent mask from slipping down over the child's
face (see illustration)
- tie small
knots in the ends of the elastic to prevent it from pulling through
the staples
- pass out 'masks'
and black paper scraps
- encourage
children to use their scissors and cut out shapes from their black
paper to make a scary pumpkin mask!

onto 'mask plates'
