This is a cheap and simple craft idea for young children.
You will need:
Four paper plates
Scissors
PVA glue/sellotape/stapler
Paint
You will need four paper plates to make your elephant.
Make eye holes in one of the paper plates. Cut one of the other plates in half and then trim off the edge - this will make the trunk.
Glue or tape the pieces of the mask together. Alternatively, fix it together with a stapler.
Paint or colour in the mask.
Your elephant mask is complete!
