Depending on how old the children are that will carry the animal masks made of paper plates to the carnival, it is best to choose the staff. Straws are particularly harmless, while a wooden rod could, for example, cause injuries when falling. The rod is attached to the back of the mask and on the side (right for right -handers, left for left -handers) or in the middle.

Halve the plate. If you couldn't find brown paper plates, paint it with dark brown acrylic paint instead and let them dry. If necessary, apply another layer. Then draw three circles of the same size (in the example of 5.5 cm in diameter) on the beige paper and two larger ones (in the example of 9.5 cm in diameter) on the brown and cut them out (you can also record a circle, this Cut out and then use it for the bear as a handicraft template to get the other circles). Glue the light in the middle of the dark circles and the ears obtained to the side on the side of the plate.
