Handprint reindeer mask

You will need:

• Paper plate
• Pink, red and brown card. Top tip – use a manila file for cheap brown card.
• Gluestick or PVA glue and spreader
• Thin elastic (approx. 30cm)
• Scissors
• Stapler
• Brown crayon or brown paint and paintbrush (optional)

How to make a reindeer mask:

• Cut out a quarter segment and two round eye holes from the paper plate.
• Colour or paint the plate brown (optional).
• Cut out two brown ears, two pink inner ears, a brown forelock and a red nose from the card. Trace around both of the child’s hands on the brown card and cut out to make the two antlers.
• Glue the features on to the plate.
• 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.
