My template originally came from one I found on Pinterest, but I tweaked it. Your Sunday School class will love this "Blind Man" mask! This one is really interactive and illustrative of the story, which you shall see if you continue reading. . .
You will need: cardstock, brad fasteners, scissors, an Exacto-Knife, and crayons.
If you scroll to the bottom you will see how I tweaked the original pattern. For the frowny "blind" face, I covered his eyes with the Bible verse that tells the story of Jesus healing the blind man. I also added a half circle shape, so you could know where to cut on his face to get the right shape.
Next, I cut out the happy face.
Then, with a pen, I poked through the hole in the frowny part. . .
and through the happy face. . .
Next, I cut the eyes of the happy face out with an Exacto-Knife. You should probably do this part ahead of time for the children in your class.
Then, I colored both parts.
Then, I stuck them together with a brad fastener. (Front)

Two finished masks! You can attach popsicle sticks to the bottom if you want, but the reason I didn't was because the frowny part stays up better if you hold the mask on both sides.
This is the part that I find REALLY cool!
With these masks you can actually BE the blind man!
First, you can't see. . .
Then, you flip the blind part up and you can see! Talk about interactive learning!
UPDATE: For some reason, everyone is confused about the templates.....These are the templates below, People! You just right click on them, copy image, and then paste them into your favorite word processor or paint program and hit "print." Alternatively, you can right click on them, save the image to your desktop, open the image and select "print."
I have tried to comment as such, but for some reason Blogger won't let me comment on my own posts....no idea why. Anyways, there is no reason for everyone to be so confused.

The End!
