With these superhero mask templates, your little learners have the chance to practice and develop:

    • Fine Motor Skills โ€“ if theyโ€™re going to collage the masks, theyโ€™ll need to use their pincer grip to pick up the pieces and carefully put them where they want them to go
    • Creativityย โ€“ as the template is basically a blank canvas, your children will have a lot of space to exercise their creativity and decide how they want to personalize it
    • Hand-eye coordinationย โ€“ to be able to understand what they are seeing and get their hands to go where they want them to go
    • Hand and finger strengthย โ€“ the ability to be able to apply enough pressure to make marks on the page and hold the pencil firmly
    • Pencil Controlย โ€“ they can practice their pencil control and develop hand strength through coloring this template in
    • Cutting Skills โ€“ if you feel theyโ€™re ready, you can let them have a go at cutting it out โ€“ theyโ€™ll need to be careful and have good scissor control if they want to cut out the template neatly

And when theyโ€™re done, theyโ€™ll also be able to use theirย imagination,ย story tellingย andย social / communication skillsย when going on adventures with friends and family!

Other Materials Youโ€™ll Need:

  • Safety scissors
  • Card stockย orย craft paper
  • Someย coloring pencilsย orย pensย / otherย artsy materialsย for decorating
  • Someย elasticย orย stringย to keep them on your little oneโ€™s head when theyโ€™re saving the world and whatnotย 
  • Or you could add a popsicle stick if youโ€™d like the masks to have a more โ€˜masked ballโ€™ feel

These masks are fairly simple to make but your little ones will probably need a bit of help if they decide to cut them out and attach the elastic (*always be careful with little ones and string โ€“ keep an eye on them to ensure theyโ€™re safe while playing*).

Once youโ€™ve downloaded the templates, youโ€™ll need to print them off onto paper or card.

If your children want to go further than just designing the masks and they actually want to wear them (I mean why wouldnโ€™t they?), then the next two steps will probably require some grown-up support:

The first is to carefully cut out the eyes holes.

Then, if you want to add elastic, simply make a couple holes near the edge (either with scissors or a hole punch). Itโ€™s a good idea to add a little clear tape on the area youโ€™re making the holes for some added support.

Thread the elastic through the hole and tie a knot on the face side to stop it slipping back through.

Then loop around with enough elastic so itโ€™s not too loose or tight, do the same on the other side and youโ€™re good to go!

Time to save the world!
