DLTK's Holiday Activities for Kids:
Flower Mask Craft

This is a cute but very simple craft.  I think it would be a nice one for younger kids to make for Halloween if they're not really into wearing a big fancy costume (both my girls were like that at age 2).

It would also be nice for a class or daycare to make for a Halloween or Autumn party.  They could parade around like flowers and sing flower songs/rhymes like "You are My Sunshine" or "Mary, Mary Quite Contrary". 

It's fun to do with the sunshine mask too.

Flower mask craft

Materials:

  • a paper plate or a circle of cardboard (see the turkey wreath for how to make a circle of cardboard)
  • Construction paper
  • glue
  • popsicle stick, tongue depressor or unsharpened pencil

Instructions:

  • Print out the template or just cut out petal shapes from construction paper (we folded the paper in half and got 2 petals per page.
     
  • You can decorate the petals with markers or sparkles to make the craft a bit more complicated.
     
  • Have an adult cut the center out of the paper plate so the child's head becomes the center of the flower.
     
  • Glue the petals all the way around the edge.
     
  • Glue on a popsicle stick or unsharpened pencil as a handle (you might want to add a bit of tape to reinforce).  We painted our stick green first.
     
  • Now the child can peek through the flower!  

Templates: 

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
      
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
