Materials Needed:
- White Kraft Paper Roll
- Stickers (We used Circle Stickers and star stickers)
- Kwik Stix Tempera Paint
- Colorful Masking Tape
- Scissors, Markers, Glue Sticks, Googly Eyes, Colorful paper
1. I used a permanent marker and drew a basic giant skull face for each child.
2. I taped the skulls to the ground.
3. I showed the children different images of sugar skulls. We talked about what we saw on them (colors, shapes, flowers, mustaches, dots, etc...) Then, I gave the kids different materials to decorate their skulls (ex: stickers, markers, colorful scraps of paper, masking tape, and Kwik Stix tempera paints.)
The kids went to town personalizing their skulls.
Here's a photo of my son making his very own "rainbow skull."
4. Once we finished, we glued on cupcake liners and googly eyes to really make the eyes pop.
