Children have the best imaginations. Give them a stick and they’ll transform it into a sword, or a wand. They will then proceed to have an adventure with it in a far off land where the reality of their current space is morphed into whatever suits their imagination. It’s truly an awesome gift. My 3 little creatives love pretend play, especially with masks. We have all sorts of masks from cats to elephants to unicorns, most of which we make with the humble paper plate.
The paper plate mask I’m sharing with you today is a simple yet super fun mask, perfect to get those amazing little imaginations warmed up and ready for some imaginary play.

4.Once you’re done coloring you’re going to use the watercolors to paint over your mask and color in the white areas. The thing I love about this is that the oil pastels resist the watercolor so you can paint right over it without worrying about covering up your beautiful oil pastel patterns.
Have your child proudly wear their new creation around the house or in the yard and let their imaginations take them away.
