Where can I get child sized paper face masks.?

Paper masks that kids can paint and then wear, I'm part running a kids workshop at this festival coming up this weekend and I need something like that that we can do in a marquee if/when it rains.





Something inexpensive would be best.Where can I get child sized paper face masks.?
You could always draw a mask shape, xerox as many copies as you need, and cut them out. Attatch with string and you have a cheap mask.





You can also use paper plates, which are much more sturdy. White paper plates are easy to decorate and you can cut them into shapes as needed. Paper plates work well for things like a Lion, a frog, and any other animal you can come up with that can be created with simple shapes. If you hang up a couple of demos for mask options and have the needed shapes on hand from construction paper, the kids can glue them into place and splash the things with paint.





However, consider what a mess paint makes in the hands of children AND that it will need a place to dry flat, unmolested by wind. Where there is rain, there is usually wind lurking to blow a table full of painted paper plates facedown onto the floor. This isn't an issue if you're entirely indoors and have plenty of tables. If you're under an awning with limited dry space, you may have a problem.





What to do? Markers. Markers are low mess, don't take dry time, and kids can immediately wear and carry their masks around. This is the perfect time of year to find cheap markers at your local Dollar store. Buy a dozen packs of the basic colors and you've got your supplies for about what you would have spent on paint and brushes.Where can I get child sized paper face masks.?
Anyway, any kind of masks nowadays are getting more expensive as high demand during Swine FLu (H1N1) outbreak. Why not choose disposable white surgical masks (rectangular shape)? I 've just recalled one of my previous workshops.....blowing air into the white rubber glove----looks like hand-shaped ballons....kids can also paint on it with different design....can make Hi-5, says peace,....Prices of rubber gloves are also reasonable and can teach them good ways to wash their hands.
