Carnival de Ponce!

Ahoy, mateys! We meet again! Can you guess where we arrrre? We're in Puerto Rico! This is a wonderful little island off the coast of Florida, and we've been celebrating something big! It's called the Carnival! People in Ponce, Puerto Rico celebrate Carnival during the month of February. There are lots of parades, masks, and costumes to be seen during this special celebration in the season of Lent, the six weeks before Easter. I was really sad that you couldn't make it sooner, so I've dug down deep into Captain Moonbeard's treasure chest to find you something extra special! You're going to make your very own Carnival mask! Isn't that awesome? But, in order to make your mask, you have to be a good listener and follow directions very well. I gave Silly Stephenson all the directions you'll need. I hope you have fun making your masks! Your friend, Sparky the Parrot
