    Simply enjoy an activity, like decorating your own mask. It can be decorated for princesses using small pebbles and beads. Feathers can be glued to it, to dress up as a small red Indian. The mask can also just be black, red, or any other colour that matches the costume. Anything goes.

    Shrovetide ris and room decorations

    The highlight of any good Shrovetide party for both children and other childish souls is when the cat has to be knocked out of the barrel. Of course, we have a great selection of different barrels. We suggest that you buy the barrel well in advance. Then you can make it even more decorative at home, at kindergarten, or at school.

    You can paint it, glue figures to it, add glitter, and so much more. The kids will also love hitting a colourful barrel that they have helped to create. And on a Shrovetide barrel, there is fortunately plenty of room for everyone to add a little creation, write their name, or glue a black cat.

    Masterpieces that you can also make for the wall. Invite the kindergarten class to a Shrovetide decoration workshop and make a lot of cool decorations to hang on the walls. Shrovetide decorations can be made of almost anything. However, there are some things that are extra fun to make decorations from, and not everyone knows about them.

    For example , EVA foam is great for making colourful decorations for Shrovetide ris or the wall. Classics such as cardboard, glitter, crepe paper, and colourful feathers should always be used when decorating a Shrovetide party.
