Happy Mardi Gras! If you’re looking for a unique way to celebrate the day, we have a fun craft activity just for you.

In this video, Jessie shows you how to create a colorful Mardi Gras Jester art piece.

Watch as Jessie takes colored construction paper and turns the pages into a smiling masterpiece in just a few easy steps.

FUN FACT: Mardi Gras can last different lengths of time depending on where you live. For some, it’s just a single day, but in New Orleans, the celebration begins on January 6 and lasts all the way until “Fat Tuesday,” the day before Ash Wednesday. Every culture has its own way of celebrating!

Enjoy the celebration!

Materials needed:

• Construction paper
• Pen / pencil
• Scissors
• Glue stick

When you’re done with this art project, we’d love to see it! Send us a picture at [email protected], upload to social media using #virtualbgc, or comment below!

Have fun!
