This post, even if recycled, made my day. I have no kids and haven’t made a mask in years. But in between kindergarten and first grade I was enrolled in a summer program called ‘Monster Camp.’ All of our activities involved role playing monster scenarios - trolls beneath bridges, lazy loch-Nessing, Ogre dodgeball. (Now that I’m writing this I’m worried I’ve imagined the entire event!) In any case, our culminating activity was an elaborate mask making day with subsequent parade. We were encouraged to bring out our ugliness, our ferocity, our hidden ghoul. I still have that mask, folded and filed away someplace forgotten. Or maybe not so forgotten after all. Thanks!

Wow, Monster Camp seems like the greatest thing ever.
