Kids can have fun making this Ox mask for Chinese New Year - it is simple,
effective and fun!
You will need:
Large paper plate
Brown paint
White card
Elastic
Black pen
Glue
Instructions:
Paint the paper plate brown and leave it to dry thoroughly. You might want to do
this in advance for younger children.
Cut out two eyes (an adult should provide help with this). Punch a hole on
either side of the paper plate and tie a piece of elastic through to hold your
mask on your head.
Cut a large oval from white card as your nose and two white horns. Glue the
horns and nose to the mask.
With a black pen, draw on two nostrils and a mouth. Your ox is ready to wear!
