Robot Mask

This Robot Mask is quick to make and very effective for all ages. In the
photo you can see we've used a basic shape of a triangle, but you could
encourage the children to use any shape. In a class or group of children,
perhaps you could assign different shapes to different children.
Cut your basic mask shape out of cardboard. Cut out your eyes, and a mouth if
required. Make the main mask shape first. Cut a large sheet of kitchen foil and
crumple it to give it texture, before carefully straightening out again. You can
vary the amount of texture by the amount of crumpling! Paste white glue over the
cardboard, then carefully place your kitchen foil over the top. When dry, trim
the outside edges to fit.
Turn the mask over so that you are working from the cardboard side. Carefully
slit the foil in the middle of the eyes and fold it back to the other side. Do
the same with the mouth if you have one. Flip the mask over again and use
permanent pens to colour the foil.

Make a nose by folding a triangle of foil in half and gluing on. Now add
decorations to your robot.

You could use more kitchen foil, crumpled to different textures. Or you could
use washers, nuts and bolts from the tool box, or other bits and pieces from the
craft cupboard.
