Lucha Libre masks for your thumb

My friend and I recently ran an art lesson with a class of grade two kids, where we designed and made mini Lucha Libre maks for their thumbs out of the ends of rubber gloves.
It's dead easy, only takes a couple of minutes, and adds an awesome new dimension to thumb wrestling.

Step 1 What you need

Not much. It's a cheap activity, and a good way to make use of (parts of) old washing up gloves.

1. Washing up gloves. Make sure you use the ones that are "fabric" inside, rather than "pearly". The fabric ones are much easier to draw on.

2. Scissors.

3. Markers. Thin-tipped, permanent markers are best, but the kids just used the water-based Texta-brand ones they had in the classroom, and these worked fine. The more colours you have, the more potential for awesome masks.

4. An old Altoids or tobacco tin to put your masks in.

5. A printer, to print out the instructions.

6. An idea for a wrestler. This could be a mini version of a real Luchadore, or your own creation.
