Telling tales on a summer night takes on a dramatic flourish with these eerily glowing faces.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Paper plates
Colored markers Craft knife Stapler Construction paper Scissors Glue Paint and brushes Flashlight | |
| Seasons: Evening, Summer | |
| Materials: markers, paints, paper | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Turn one paper plate upside down and have your child draw a face on it (remind him that the bigger the features, the more light will shine out of the mask). |
| 2. | Using a craft knife (an adult's job), carefully cut out the shapes to form openings. |
| 3. | Hold the two plates with their top sides together and staple around the outside edges, leaving an opening that's about the width of a flashlight at the bottom of the face. |
| 4. | Your child can decorate the mask by cutting out and gluing on additional construction paper features (ears, whiskers, horns) and adding bright splashes of paint. |
| 5. | When the paint dries, it's time to light up the mask. Insert the lens end of the flashlight into the opening between the paper plates (use masking tape to hold it in place if the fit isn't tight enough), and hold up the mask in front of your face. |
