ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Vooks Storybooks Arts and Crafts for Kids: Draw A Mask! | Our Class is a Family
Hello, friends! Today, we are going to have some fun with arts and crafts. We will make a special mask that tells everyone a little bit about us. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
First, we need to fill out some information about ourselves. If you need help writing, ask a grown-up to help you. It’s okay to ask for help!
Next, take your scissors and carefully cut along the solid lines. Then, fold your paper down the middle. Be careful with the scissors!
Now, it’s time to color! Use your markers or crayons to color your face. Did you know my eyes change colors? They were blueberry blue when I was a baby, then hazel, and now they’re green! Isn’t that cool?
Let’s make some hair using construction paper. My hair is curly, so I’m going to make curly pieces. How is your hair? Is it straight, curly, or wavy?
Use your glue stick to attach the hair to your face. Be careful not to get glue on the table. Let it dry for a little bit.
Fold your face in half, just like a book. This will help us make our special mask.
Now, take the two sides and staple them together. This will keep your mask in place. Ask a grown-up to help if you need it.
Hooray! You made your mask! Now, you can open and close it to share fun facts about yourself with your friends and family.
My name is Victoria, and my favorite food is sardines. What’s your favorite food? It’s fun to learn about each other!
If you love stories, ask your grown-up to help you find more books to read. Books are like magic—they take you on adventures!
Thanks for crafting with us today. We had so much fun! Don’t forget to say goodbye to your friends. See you next time!
Mask Parade: Organize a small parade where each child gets to wear their mask and share one fun fact about themselves. Encourage them to notice the different colors and styles of masks. Ask them, “What do you like about your friend’s mask?” and “How does your mask show something special about you?”
Nature Mask Exploration: Go on a short nature walk and collect small items like leaves, flowers, or twigs. Back in the classroom, let the children add these natural elements to their masks using glue. Discuss how these items can change the look of their masks and ask, “What did you find that you liked the most?” and “How does it make your mask different?”
Story Time with Masks: Have a story session where each child wears their mask and listens to a story about a character who goes on an adventure. After the story, ask them to imagine what adventure their mask might take them on. Encourage them to draw a picture of their mask’s adventure and share it with the class. Ask, “Where would your mask take you?” and “Who would you meet on your adventure?”

Hi, I’m Victoria.
And I’m Audrey.
We just watched our class’s family on books. We created these “About Me” faces to share a little bit about ourselves with our class.
I’m Audrey, and my favorite food is Italian pizza. This craft is inspired by our class as a family. My favorite part was when they said you might think of a family with a mom, a dad, a couple of kids, a pet mouse, and a couple of dogs.
Here’s what you’ll need to make it at home:
– Books activity printout
– Markers or crayons
– Construction paper
– Glue sticks
– Scissors
– A stapler
**Step 1:** Fill out the information about yourself. I don’t know how to write, so I’m going to ask my grown-up to help me.
**Step 2:** Cut and fold down the middle on the solid lines.
**Step 3:** Color your face and cut it out. I have color-changing eyes! When I was born, I had bright blueberry eyes, and then when I was about four or five, my eyes were hazel, so my cousins called me Hazel. Now they’re green—that’s actually quite cool!
**Step 4:** Use construction paper to make the hair. My hair is really curly, so I’m making curly pieces.
**Step 5:** Glue the hair onto your face and let it dry. Try not to get it on the table.
**Step 6:** Fold your face in half.
**Step 7:** Staple the sheets together. This is the back right side, and this is the back left side. You take them both, put them together, and staple.
**Step 8:** Get to know each other! You can open or close your “About Me” book to reveal information.
My name is Victoria, and my favorite food is sardines.
What? That’s your favorite food?
Yeah, I know it’s kind of unusual.
If you don’t have books, what are you waiting for? It’s a kid-safe, ad-free library full of storybooks brought to life. Ask your grown-up and start exploring more fun stories like these.
Okay, I’m going to start.
Oh, we forgot to say goodbye!
