Directions
Step 1
Draw a picture of your teacher’s face on your white paper. Add a fun superhero mask around their eyes! Then, cut out this drawing.
Step 2
Lay your colorful construction paper out horizontally. Grab the top left corner of the paper. Fold it down towards the middle of the paper stopping when the edge makes a diagonal.
Repeat this with the right side of the paper. This will be your superhero cape!

Decorate your superhero cape with any designs (or stickers!) that you think are fun.
Step 4
Tape the flap of your cape shut. Then tape your superhero face to the top opening of the superhero cape.
