Happy Mardi Gras

Even though my son William was feeling ill, we went ahead and did the mask today anyway.

First, trace their hands on the color of paper that they like the best.



Next, Fold the paper over and cut out two hand prints.



Then, glue the hand so that the palms are touching and the fingers are out (I did mine thumbs up). I made a nose area.



Mark and cut out the eye holes.




Then Decorate! (You can add a popsicle stick to make it easy to hold or a string).







The finished products!

Paper Plate Valentines

I made the paints out of sweetened condensed milk
