What is included in the kit?

- Complete instructions on how to run the project
- If you order 15 or more masks we will include, free of charge, a color transparency of four completed student masks and a written script of their own descriptions of what their masks mean.
How much does it cost?
Each mask costs $ 2.25. Teachers usually have their students buy the masks from them. So, if the teacher chose to make this a choice project, he/she could add up the number of students wanting to do the mask option, order them and then charge the students accordingly. This way, the students would have the mask in hand and would not have to pay craft store prices of $ 4. - $ 5. /mask.
