make masks from Where the Wild Things Are.

Have fun while using a variety of art techniques and materials to explore the

shapes, square, triangle, rectangle and circle. We make Royal Puppets to live in
our castles with a variety of materials. Next, we protect our castles when we
create a Dragon using basic folding, gluing and cutting techniques that allow
our dragons to dance and move. Then we all get into the spirit as we make a
Crown, tiara, knight’s helmet or jester’s hat. And we finish with a Banner to fly
over the castle using our paints to print designs

and the animal stories that you learned through your exploration.
