If you’ve ever wanted to be your favourite wild animal? Now is your chance! Have a go at making an animal mask using our mask templates below. Whether you love ladybirds, bees or something more furry like a hare – we’ve got the mask for you.
You can combine it with some research and wild animal performances too!
What you will need:
- Printed activity sheet(s) (or plain paper/card)
- Colouring pencils or pens
- String (or elastic)
- Scissors
- A hole punch (optional)
- Lollypop stick (optional)
How to make your animal 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!
