FAQs
What is included in the kit?
Each pack includes 16 white cardboard masks in 5 different animal designs, along with elastic cords for wearing.
What materials can I use to decorate the masks?
You can use a variety of materials like paint, markers, crayons, colored pencils, glitter, feathers, stickers, fabric scraps, and glue. Ensure your chosen materials are suitable for cardboard.
Are the masks pre-decorated?
No, the masks are blank white cardboard, providing a canvas for children to decorate themselves.
What is the size of the masks?
Mask sizes range from approximately 13–24 cm in height and 20–28 cm in width, depending on the animal design.
Is adult supervision required?
Adult supervision is recommended, especially for younger children during the decoration process and when attaching the elastic.
Can these masks be used for professional theatre?
While they encourage creative play, they are designed for casual craft activities and children's play rather than professional theatrical use due to their material and construction.
What is the recommended age for this product?
The recommended age group is 'Child', generally suitable for ages 3 and up, with adult guidance.
Troubleshooting
Elastic is too loose or too tight.
Adjust the length of the elastic by re-tying the knot through the pre-punched holes. For a tighter fit, shorten the elastic; for a looser fit, lengthen it. Adult assistance may be needed.
Decorations are not sticking to the mask.
Ensure the mask surface is clean and dry. Use an appropriate adhesive for the materials being attached (e.g., craft glue for fabric, stronger glue for heavier embellishments).
Mask is bent or creased.
Handle the masks with care. If a mask is slightly creased, try gently flattening it under a heavy book (on a clean surface) for a short period. Avoid excessive force.
