How to Make Transformer Masks

Transformers is a hot character trend for young boys spanning the realms of cartoons, toys and even birthday themes. To create an inexpensive crafting activity for kids, allow them to make their own Transformer masks at a party or play date. Print Transformer faces onto card stock, and allow kids and party goers to cut out their own masks and tie on elastic. The simple craft project even doubles as a take-away for later play dates.
