Cut two eye holes out of the front of a paper plate using scissors. Cut out nose and mouth holes if preferred.

Decorate the plate using crayons or markers. You can make the mask look like a person or decorate it to look like an animal.

Place the mask on your child's face, and cut a piece of yarn across the back. Measure enough yarn to keep the mask secure.

Secure the ends of the yarn to the sides of the mask using a stapler.

Cut a piece of string large enough to create a long necklace around the children's neck. The longer the necklace, the more pieces of pasta the children can string. (Option: Paint or color the pasta)

Place dried pasta into a bowl, and place the bowl on to a table where the children can reach.

Tie one piece of pasta on to the string so that the rest won't slip off, then allow your child to string on the rest of the pasta.

Tie the ends of the string together to complete the necklace.

Put two paper plates together and cut a hole in the center about the size of a plum.

Cut a piece of colored cellophane slightly larger than the hole.

Glue the cellophane to the top of one plate to cover the hole.

Set the second plate on top of the first and help your child glue them together. Now you have a rainbow disc for your child to look through.

Repeat these steps to make two more discs in the remaining colors. Show your child how to overlap the discs to create new colors.
