Cereal-box elephant mask

You will need:

• Paper plate
• Cereal box or grey card
• Gluestick or PVA glue and spreader
• Washable marker pen or thick felt tip pen
• Thin elastic (approx. 30cm)
• Scissors
• Stapler
• Grey crayon or grey paint and paintbrush (optional)

How to make an elephant mask:

• Cut out a quarter segment and two round eye holes from the paper plate.
• Colour or paint the plate grey (optional).
• Cut out two ears from the large sides of the cereal packet.
• Cut out a trunk shape from the narrow side of the cereal packet.
• Glue the ears and trunk on to the paper plate.
• Add detail to the ears with the marker pen or felt tip.
• Cut a suitable length of elastic to go around the back of the head. Tie a knot in each end to stop it slipping through and staple to each side of the plate to complete the mask.
