In trying to manage crafts, especially quick ones like these, I have started using "trays" to organize the materials the kids would need to craft a particular project. This avoids having to shuffle through the art supply drawers and shelves (because we have them stashed everywhere). For this project, taken from one of our craft books, the kids made lamb and lion masks.
Takes less then 10 minutes.
Supplies needed per child: Strips of yellow crepe paper, crumbled white tissue paper, ears cut out from a sheet of brown and black construction paper (or foam paper), 2 paper plates with inner circle cut out, glue, and scissors.
For the lamb, have the kids glue the white pieces of tissue paper around the plate. Add black ears to the top.
For the lion, have the kids glue strips of the yellow crepe paper to look like wild hair. Add the brown ears to the top.
When they are finished, glue each mask (back to back) to each other so that the kids can "flip" between animals...
As you can tell, we had a lot of fun with this!
