We suggest purchasing the half masks as they are safer from your local arts and crafts store.  Michael's sells them for less than $1!

Then stock up on glitter, beads, ribbon, glue and DON'T forget the feathers!  The more the better! There are no instructions, just let their creativity roam free! Be sure to set time aside for them to dry before you begin your celebrations!
