Make a "cartoon" character


You can “cartoonise” the human face shape of your Multimask by cutting the nose out, plaster it over and then use more plaster bandage to make whatever shape is wanted!

Cereal box card works great for extensions


Cereal box card has the critical weight and bendability for mask-make purposes. If the card is heavier it can't bend or be manipulated. If lighter, it doesn't hold its shape and glue in the right manner. So ask your students to bring in empty cereal boxes from home; they are just perfect for making extensions and re-shaping the Multimask starter base into storybook characters, animals & birds & bugs, etc.
