Masks for Mardi Gras


Given that today is Mardi Gras and that we are celebrating Carnival this week, we've decided to make some masks. For Christmas, F received the set Mask'Animo, which contains 8 masks to assemble and paint. They are very easy and fun to make. We had made already some in Punta del Este, but we still had two left. So we've finished them today.

Take a look at the video of the making of in Mitik's website. Ours don't look as professional, but the kids had fun making them. This brand is not very commercialized outside France, but once I saw the masks at Moma's store.

Also, instead of painting them, we colored them with these great pastels from Djeco. It was less messy and the gel pastels are smooth and colorful, which makes them very pleasant to color with.
