These were so much fun to do, especially after a history lesson about Africa. I gave each of the girls two different colored cardstock papers and used this step-by-step guide to help them make their own African mask collages. Notice how they were able to come up with their own unique designs. Love it!

When they were done with with the African mask collages, I gave Rinoa some outline printouts of other African mask designs so she can paint and decorate them. (Mica just moved on to the next activity for the day.)
