Creating a cheap child Halloween mask can be a fun and inexpensive project for both parent and child. To make a cheap child Halloween mask, one can use many items found around the home or that can be purchased for very little.
For an easy, cheap child Halloween mask, gather the following materials: paper plate; non-toxic crayons, markers, or paints; string or yarn; glue, and scissors. To add texture and interest to your mask also gather some macaroni or spaghetti noodles, construction paper, lipstick, and pipe cleaners. Parents should help their child with the Halloween mask and supervise its creation.
First, get the paper plate and have a parent determine where the eyes, nose, and mouth should be. Before cutting the mask, determine what kind of child Halloween mask will be created as this may determine the shape of the nose, eye, and mouth holes. Have the child come up with the design. Encourage the child to be as creative as possible with the materials available.
Here are a few design suggestions for various types of paper plate Halloween masks:
--Pumpkin Mask: Color the plate orange. Eyes, nose, and mouth holes should be cut as triangles to make it look like a carved pumpkin. The construction paper and pipe cleaners could be glued at the top of the mask to form the stem. Use orange lipstick to color the child's nose.
--Cat Mask: Choose the color of the cat and color the plate. Eyes, nose, and mouth holes should be cut in cat-like shapes. Pipe cleaners or spaghetti could be used as whiskers. Use construction paper to make the ears. Color the child's nose with pink lipstick.
--Lion Mask: This is a variation on the cat mask. The macaroni could be painted and glued on the mask as the main. Eyes, nose, and mouth holes should be cut in cat-like shapes. Pipe cleaners or spaghetti could be used as whiskers. Use construction paper to make the ears. Color the child's nose with lipstick.
--Clown Mask: A brightly colored clown's mask can be made using the same formula. Use painted macaroni or pipe cleaners glued on the paper plate for the clown hair. Color the child's nose with some red lipstick.
The final step in creating the cheap child Halloween mask is to attach the string/yarn to tie on the mask. This can be done by poking a hole in each side of the mask and tying on the string. Place the string so it goes over the child's ears and can be tied in the back. Making a cheap child Halloween mask can be a fun project for the whole family and the possibilities of the Halloween mask are as endless as your imagination.
