Instructions

    • 1

      Glue a large paper plate over a smaller paper plate, so that the larger plate covers up about a quarter of the smaller plate. The larger plate will be the cow's snout, and the smaller plate will be its head and eyes.

    • 2

      Cut the second small paper plate in half to make the cow's ears. Glue the two halves to the other small plate.

    • 3

      Let the glue dry.

    • 4

      Cut two holes for eyes out of the first small plate.

    • 5

      Decorate the cow's face with black markers, crayons or colored pencils. Add black spots to the cow's ears and snout, and add eyelashes, a nose and a friendly smile to the cow's face.

    • 6

      Staple elastic or string to the mask so that you can wear it around your head.

Tips & Warnings

  • Help young children with the parts of this project that involve scissors or the stapler. Use leftover paper plates to make rabbit, pig, cat, dog and other animal masks.
