Face Mask For Kids Views
Here is a collection of printable masks that are free downloads, featuring different animal designs as well as people and favorite characters. I've also included some tips for wearing masks. There are also links to books which offer collections of cut and make masks or punch-out masks with lots of designs and themes that kids love. Those are especially fun for having at children's birthday parties or for playing games at sleepovers.
Eye holes - The biggest problem with masks that most people have is with the eye holes, and this can be a big one for little kids. The trick is to make sure the part of the mask that fits the bridge of your nose is as accurately measured as possible. Start by cutting smaller eyes and make them larger if you need since it's always easier to make the eye holes bigger.
Durability - There are a few tricks for making a paper mask stronger so that it lasts longer. One is to use card stock and not regular paper. Another is to put a layer of clear contact paper over one or both sides of the mask. If you don't want the surface to be shiny, only apply it to the inside surface. If you are going to put it on the outside, only do so after the mask has been colored.
Instead of adding strings to tie the mask on around your head, attach the trimmed mask to a short dowel or pencil at one side like a flag or fan. Then you can simply hold the mask over your face when you want to be in disguise, and remove it from your face when you want to eat, drink, dance or for safer walking in the dark or on stairs.
