Each week during the holiday seasons, my kids enjoy doing a themed craft. Since we are in the season of Halloween, we have been crafting ghosts and witches and today, Halloween paper plate masks! These masks are so simple to put together and are perfect for toddlers and kindergarten age children. You, more than likely, have what you need in your craft box already! Little hands can help tape and even cut in this fun Halloween paper plate crafts activity.

How To Make Halloween Paper Plate Masks:

Grab your materials and head to the table. Start by thinking of what type mask you and your child would like to make. A witch, a pumpkin, a monster…we decided on a bat and a Frankenstein.

The first step in how to make a paper plate mask is to go ahead and draw eyes and then cut out the eye holes. The best way to do this is to turn the paper plate face side down. Then you can have your child draw the eye holes on the back of the paper plate for you to cut out. They should draw two circles with about an inch between them in the top 1/3 of the paper plate.

After the eye holes have been cut out, go ahead and draw the different details onto construction paper. For the bat, I drew wings, a mouth with teeth and eyebrows. For the Frankenstein, I drew a mouth, stitches and hair. Then I cut these out.

Once all the details were cut out, I let my daughter help place the tape on the pieces and lay them down on the plates.

The final thing to do was tape on the plastic spoons to use an handles to hold the paper plates up. Instead, you could use twine and place the mask around your face but it can hard to get comfortable. We used plastic spoons and hold the mask up sort of like a masquerade party. Either way works! She preferred the spoon handles. And voila! you have Halloween Paper Plate Masks.

Paper Plate Halloween Masks Ideas

Grab a black shirt to go with the paper plate bat mask or a green shirt to go with the Frankenstein paper plate mask and you have two fun costumes to play around the house in. This would also be a really fun craft project to do at a Halloween party that the guests could take home with them as simple favors.
