How to Make Foam Masks

Cut out the templates. Draw around them onto craft foam and cut 1 orange main piece, 1 white whiskers, 1 black nose and 2 black ears. To cut the eyes out on the orange foam, fold the foam on the eye and snip in the centre, then cut out.

Arrange the pieces together then glue in place.

Take the end of the elastic and hold it on the back of the mask where indicated by the black dot. Staple in place so that the sharp edges are on the front of the mask.

Place the mask on your child's head to work out the fit, then cut the elastic to size. Staple the other end of the elastic onto the other end of the mask.

If you wanted you could also make the butterfly or superhero mask. Follow the directions above or cut your own shapes and patterns from the craft foam.
