This is a project that I did with one of the elementary schools I taught at. I always start my lesson out with a power point that talks about the environment in some way just to make them think more about the materials they are using and the fun things they can create with recycled materials. The great part is the no cost supplies, I just had the kids bring in their empty milk jugs, newspapers, and paper towel and toilet paper rolls from home. It didn't take long to get what we needed for each student. We did paper mache over them with flour and water, yet another inexpensive material to use for teaching. Once the paper mache was dry the kids painted their masks with tempera. This was a 6th, 7th and 8th grade project.
