I did this last year after my 4th and 5th graders finished up this project. And it was a huge hit, entertained for the entire 45mins!

Just a few minutes to explain and do examples and then they were hard at work creating these slightly creepy but awesome drawings. They had the option to just draw faces or draw and add on to the faces, and then color if they wanted too...they always get to take extensions home day of so I snapped a ton of pictures! Try not to pee your pants laughing :)
