Wild spots and stripes

Didn't I say I love it when we have Animals as a topic at school? There are a million and one things you can do with kids. Making masks is one of them. This activity is an all the time hit because not only they love sounding like their fave animals, they absolutely love "looking" like them.

As simple as painting the paper plates orange or yellow and then painting black stripes or spots on them and your kids will now have a tiger and leopard/jaguar masks. For the zebra, kids will just paint the black stripes directly on the paper plate. Pre-cut the eyes for them. Glue on lolly sticks for the handle. Have lots of fun!
