Make Your Own Bear Mask
Coloured card or stiff paper | Scissors | Pencils | Glue-stick | Yarn or string | Various round items, such as plates, mugs and glasses
Choose a plate smaller than your sheet of card, but large enough to cover your face. Place the plate flat upon the card. Hold plate in place with one hand and trace around it using a pencil.
Remove the plate. Cut out circle of card. This will form the face of the mask.
Choose a smaller item to make the ears, such as a mug. Place item upon the card. Hold item in place with one hand and trace around it using a pencil.
Remove item and cut out circle of card.
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 so you have two separate circles of card. These will be the outer ears of the mask.
Choose a different item, smaller than that used in Step 3. Place item upon the card. Hold item in place with one hand and trace around it using a pencil.
Remove item and cut out circle of card.
Repeat Steps 6 and 7 so you have two separate circles of card. These will be the inner ears of the mask.
Match up the outer and inner ears.
Spread glue onto one of the small, inner ears, then place it glue side down in the centre of one of the larger, outer ears. Repeat for the second ear and then allow to dry.
Place both ears behind the face of the mask. When they are in a position that you like, remove one ear, spread glue on the concealed area and then stick it to the underside of the face.
Repeat for the second ear and then allow to dry.
Choose an even smaller item to make the nose, such as a small jar. Place item upon the card. Hold item in place with one hand and trace around it using a pencil.
Remove item and cut out circle of card.
Place the nose on the face of the mask. When it is in a position that you like, spread glue onto the nose, then place it glue side down on the face.
Allow the nose to dry.
Use the cap of the glue-stick to mark the eyes. Position the capped glue-stick between the nose and the ears. Hold glue-stick in place with one hand and trace around it using a pencil. Repeat for second eye.
Remove the glue-stick and cut out both eyeholes. NOTE – this will need sharp scissors, so an adult may have to do this bit.
Make a small hole on either side of the mask for string or yarn. NOTE – again, this will need sharp scissors, so an adult may have to do this bit as well.
Thread string or yarn through one of the small holes. Tie tightly and then cut the thread.
Repeat Step 20 for the second hole.
