Animal Antics

The first afternoon we arrived at the orphanage we got the children to make animal masks we brought with us from Scotland. 

There were Zebras, Lions, Tigers, elephants, Giraffes and plenty of little monkeys. 

Each child took their turn to make a mask, the wee’er children got the easier masks to make whilst the older ones were making tigers and Zebras.  There were bits of foam everywhere and glue was in hair, on hands and on the floor.  Half way through the power went out and we were making the masks in the dark, thankfully they have an emergency light and that kicked in after a few minutes.  

The children loved wearing their masks and making the sounds of each animal.  I made a lion mask and the children ran around excitedly as I enacted out a “ROOAAARRRR”.  The were chasing me and shouting “aunteee, aunteee” so that I would do the lion roar to them.  The masks were great fun to make and by the end we had our very own zoo with lots of different animal antics going on.
