Elmo mask

You will need: 

light colored paper

red, orange, black and white paint

scissors

glue

craft stick

cardboard

googly eyes

First draw an Elmo face onto light colored paper. I found my "stencil" here. Then draw eyes, a nose, and a mouth onto light colored paper also. See above picture. Then let child paint Elmo's face red.

Next let child paint the nose orange.

Next, let the child paint the eyes white. Rory got frustrated because she "couldn't see it". LOL!

Next, let your child paint the mouth black. Let all dry.

Once all is dry, cut out all of the pieces. Have child help glue nose onto the face.

Then glue the eyes on top of part of the nose (overlap them).

Next, glue on Elmo's mouth.

Next, glue googly eyes onto the white eyes. Let glue dry.

While the glue is drying, cut an Elmo shape out of cardboard. Make it just a little smaller than the Elmo face. Then, glue the craft stick to the cardboard.

Finally, glue the Elmo face onto the cardboard. Let dry.
