Make a Cheeky Monster Rocky mask

What you will need:

• A blue felt pen
• A pencil
• Two sheets of A4 blue card
• A sheet of light green foam
• A sheet of light blue, green, and white foam
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• A lolly-pop stick
• Masking tape
• A grown-up helper

What to do:

1. To start, carefully draw the shape of Rocky’s head and the outline of his eyes with your pencil and, once you are happy with the shape, go over it with the blue felt pen.
2. Carefully cut around the head outline to get your Rocky shape.
3. Now it’s time to cut out the eyes. Carefully poke the scissors through the centre of the eye shape to make a hole and then cut out the eye shape. You should ask your grown-up if you need help you with this.
4. With your pencil, draw out both of Rocky’s bat wing ears and hair tuft on the second sheet of blue card. When you are happy, go over with the blue felt pen and cut out, then put to one side.
5. Next step is to again draw out, but slightly smaller, both of Rocky’s bat wing ears on the light blue foam and cut out, then put to one side.
6. Draw and cut out two eyebrows, two small spots and two larger spots from the light blue foam.
7. For Rocky’s teeth use the white foam. Draw and cut out two small teeth, then put them to one side.
8. Finally draw and cut out Rocky’s green tongue and you are ready to assemble your Rocky mask.
9. Lay out the Rocky mask with the foam pieces next to it.
10. Using the blue felt pen draw on two circles for Rocky’s nose and then his cheeky smile.
11. Apply a small bit of the glue stick to the four spots and then carefully stick down one small and one large spot to the right of the mask next to the eye and then one small and one large spot to the left of the mask next to the other eye.
12. Put a little bit of glue on the eyebrows and stick them in place.
13. Next, apply glue to the green tongue and place on the corner of Rocky’s smile.
14. Then stick the two teeth either side of the tongue.
15. For the next part you will need to turn your mask over.
16. Stick the smaller foam right bat wing ear to the slightly larger card right bat wing ear and then stick in place at the top of the mask.
17. Stick the smaller foam left bat wing ear to the slightly larger card left bat wing ear and then stick in place at the top of the mask.
18. Next, stick the foam hair tuft in place in the centre at the top of Rocky’s head.
19. Finally, with a small piece of masking tape, stick the lollypop stick in place for your mask holder and you are ready to play.
