Halloween masks to print and color

In today’s post: Print + color Halloween masks are an easy and inexpensive Halloween craft for kids – perfect for class parties!

I originally shared these easy DIY Halloween masks a couple of years ago, and many of you let me know that you used them as an easy activity for your kids’ school Halloween parties. Since we are headed back into Halloween season I thought I’d republish so those of you that weren’t reading a few years ago could see them too. If you’re looking for another easy Halloween craft for kids, check out these printable Halloween origami bookmarks.

Paper Halloween masks

Printable Halloween masks

There are four Halloween mask designs which you can download at the end of this post. A pumpkin:

A cat:

Frankenstein:

And a sugar skull:

You can download each of the mask designs for free at the end of the post. Make sure you print them out on cardstock or other heavy weight paper so they won’t tear.

Printable Halloween mask templates with crayons

Here’s a quick video that shows how to make the masks:


Once you have them printed, the rest is easy: let kids color them in however they’d like and cut them out. Then use a 1-inch punch to punch out the eyes (if you don’t have a punch, you can let kids cut the eyes out with scissors – they won’t look as tidy, but the kids won’t care). To finish, cut a strip of 1/4 inch elastic to 15 inches and staple it to both sides of the mask.

Paper Halloween masks that have been colored with crayons

These masks would be a great activity for a school Halloween party. The only cost involved is purchasing cardstock (if your school doesn’t already have some) and elastic. I used 1/4 inch elastic, and a 15 inch piece was just right for each mask for elementary school age kids. (The 1/4 inch elastic I purchased came in packages of 3 yards, which means you get 7 pieces from each pack. At about $1.50 a pack, that means elastic will cost around $6 for 28 masks.)

It’s also a fun activity to do at home. The masks are easy to make and low on the mess scale. We just used colored pencils, but you could use crayons, markers, or even paint, and then add stickers or glitter if desired. My kids had friends over when I printed out all these samples and everyone had a great time picking their favorite mask and then decorating it to their heart’s content.

    I had the children choose a mask and color it. I then laminated it and cut the holes out for the eyes with scissors. A large popsicle stick was hot glued to the side so the children could hole the mask up to look through. Each child then graphed the number of different masks that were made.

    Where do you find that hole punch? The ones I find all don’t go as far in to punch the hole. These are adorable by the way. 🙂

    Hi:) thanks so much for posting that free download for the mast. I was wondering about the 1 inch punch that you have. I have one but when I go to punch the eyes Out it doesn’t go all the way up to where the eyes are. Do you have a special one?

    I can’t wait to sew your swing tunic. I love the way it move around the body without giving a definite body shape. Great for those areas I don’t want to accentuate.

    As for the Halloween masks the grand kids will love to colour those.

    Kind regards, Claudette

    These are so cute!! I’m going to link back to you in a Halloween craft post I’m publishing later this week. I love that these are easy enough for smaller kids to color, but older kids can still make them their own!

    I would also like to know the brand of hole punch you used. The one I got from Hobby Lobby won’t reach the eyes on the mask either.

    I could not find a hole punch at Walmart or Target. I did find one at Michaels. Sadly, I bought one that did not reach the eyeballs, do not buy the Fiskar Thick 1 inch. The one that does reach the black eyeball area is the ek tools 1″. I used it on printer paper, so I do not know how it will do with thicker paper. If you can’t find this one, make sure to look at the hole punch from the side to make sure there is enough space to fit about an inch of paper before getting to the black eyeball area of the mask.

    What brand punch did you use and where did you get it? The one I have doesn’t punch far enough up to line up with the eyes. Thanks 🙂

    The little kiddos at our county fair, a couple of weeks ago, had a “make-it/take-it” opportunity (it was “Kids’ Day”) and this project was one that many of them accomplished…………….evidenced by the large number of masked cuties seen the rest of the day!!!!!!
