Embrace the arrival of Sinterklaas by creating these delightful paper plate masks with your kids.

Crafting Sinterklaas masks with my kids was a delightful experience. Using simple materials like paper plates and colored papers, we embarked on a creative journey that resulted in these adorable personalized masks.

These handmade Sinterklaas masks became more than just art; they became symbols of the festive spirit we embraced together as a family.
