Scotland’s chilly waters don’t stop wildlife from making it their home! By the coast we can spot an array of different species…
Have a go at making a coastal creature using our mask templates below. You could become a crab, who we find scuttling along the beach, an otter, who we find fishing for food by the coast, or a seal, who we often find sunbathing on tidal flats or rocks.
What you will need:
- Printed activity sheet (or paper/card)
- Pens/pencils
- String (or elastic)
- Scissors
- Hole punch (optional)
How to make a coastal creature mask:
- Print out the mask of your choosing. If you don’t have a printer, you could copy the design onto paper or card and then follow the rest of the instructions to make your mask.
- Time to let the creativity flow and decorate your mask! Once done, carefully cut around the outline and the eyes – it can be a little fiddly so you may need an adult’s help.
- Carefully punch out the two holes at the sides of the mask. A hole punch is helpful for this, but you could use a sharp pencil or the scissors. Remember to be careful.
- Measure a piece of string around your head so that you get the right size. Tie the string between the two holes.
- Your mask is ready to go!
