Spectacular Spectacles

We read a book today called "Spectacular Spectacles" and were inspired to make our own!  First we read and discussed the book.

Then we referred to some non-fiction books that had pictures of masks and other fancy face coverings in order to help us create our own.

Here are our creations!
