Fat Tuesday

Today was Fat Tuesday also known as Mardi Gras!
We made some fun Jester hats to wear I used different colors of construction paper and cut them into triangle wave type shapes. I taped them onto the inside of the brim.
For the mask I used foam I traced the kids hands on and then cut them out the kids then taped the hands together overlapping each other just a little bit. We then used the scrap pieces from the foam and decorated the mask! Such a fun day!

"Q" Week- Board

We shared Q week with the Dr. Seuss Birthday!
