Calavera, or sugar skulls, are a traditional decoration for the Mexican festival of Day of the Dead. These masks are a simple way for children (or adults) to join in the fun. Just print onto card, cut out and tape to a stick or wooden spoon, or attach elastic. You could decorate them further by gluing on flowers, sequins, glitter etc, or outlining features in puffy paint or glow in the dark paint. There are 6 colourful full-size masks in this set.
The colourful flowers decorating this Day of the Dead mask make it really special! Cut out the stars carefully as peep-holes and either attach to a stick or wooden spoon, or use elastic so that your child can wear the mask.
This super mask looks so effective once you cut the purple hearts out for eye holes! Of course you can use it as decoration - or even a lacing or sewing card or base for a collage - too.
We love these Day of the Dead sugar skull masks because they are fun rather than scary, and just the right size for kids to cut out - although younger children will need help cutting out the eye-holes and noses.
