Supply List
As a teacher, I am big on Reduce,Reuse, Recycle. When I teach this class in art centers I like to use things from the recycling and from the store to build our masks.

You do not need ALL of the items. -Cereal boxes/cardboard -Crayons/colored pencils/markers -Paint -Printer paper/construction paper - Sparkles / Pipe cleaners/ tissue paper/ buttons -Glue!
