Kids Halloween craft: Venetian Mask
This project will help your child to develop his cutting (motor) skills, improve his creativity, and give him a sense of accomplishment.
It is suitable for children 3-5 years old.
This venetian style mask can be a great addition to a variety of Halloween or masquerade costumes. It is very easy and inexpensive to make, and you and your kids can decorate it in a variety of ways: draw a pattern with markers, use glitter glue or sparkles, glue fake lashes to the top of the eye holes - just use your imagination. Instead of regular construction paper you could use a velvet type, which will give the mask a much more professional look. To make your mask more durable, use a cardstock paper or glue your mask to the same shape cut out of thin cardboard.

1. Printout of the mask
2. Construction paper
3. String or thread

6. Cardboard (optional)
