Three Bears Symmetry Masks

We made symmetrical bear masks, in honor of the the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears. 

Here are the supplies we used: glue, scissors, crayons, brown/tan construction paper, scrap paper, bear head stencil.

A tracing template was made for half a bear head. This made the children fold their paper in half and then practice tracing. 

Next, the bear head was cut out and opened. We discussed how the two sides looked the same --- were symmetrical. 

We talked about what else is on the face (eye, nose, mouth) and where it should be placed.

Children used scrap paper squares and crayons to make the facial features. Some chose to cut the squares into other shapes.

 The overall result were bears that were fairly symmetrical.
