Do-it-yourself deer mask. Children's animal masks (pictures of templates). Forest and domestic birds, insects, fish - templates for printing on paper

Festive matinees in kindergarten or elementary school are often held in the form of theatrical performances. Every child participates in the celebration. For an interesting performance, you need appropriate costumes and head masks. You can buy them in specialized children's stores or make your own.

Various materials are used to make masks. Most often - paper and cardboard. The picture is downloaded, enlarged on a computer screen, then printed.

Sketches can be colored, it is enough for the kid to cut out the model. There are black and white or theatrical coloring masks. These need to be painted with pencils or paints at your discretion. Also in the manufacture of used leather, foam rubber, felt and other materials.

The shape of the masks is also different. Some are made on a wide rim. The image of an animal or a fairy-tale character is glued to the headband, put on the head, while the child's face is not covered. Other sketches hide the face, cuts are made for the eyes. There are respirator masks, gas masks (rubber elements are usually used for their manufacture) or on a stick.

For girls

When choosing sketches for girls, they prefer funny animal faces. For example, a bear or a bunny with a pink bow, masks in the form of powerful fairies or beautiful princesses.

For boys

A mask for a holiday for a boy depends on the nature and preferences of the child. Some kids like to portray not only kind animals (bear cub, cockerel, piggy, hippopotamus), but also pirates, sorcerers, supermen, villains.

Muzzles of animals

Costumes and masks of forest and domestic animals are a common option for holding a matinee. Some children prefer to dress up as cats, dogs, hares and other recognizable animals (bull, goat, wolf). Others want models of less common animals - a raccoon, an elk, a platypus or a koala.

The universal option is the “mask of the Year”. It symbolizes the animal according to the Eastern calendar. For 2019, the faces of a pig, a pig, a boar are relevant. They can be made not only from paper, but also sewn from fabric. Patterns and sewing patterns make it easy to cope with the task.

Having selected ready-made sketches, they are saved or copied for subsequent printing, the masks are cut out. Usually they are used for a headband without covering the baby's face. To make a full-fledged mask, you need to make an effort. The specificity lies in the anatomy of the bird's head. You need to separately prepare a template for the head and beak. The bird's beak is glued along the marked lines. Its size and shape depends on the bird - for an owl it will be small and hooked, for a crow it will be long and sharp.

Mask drawings for cutting

There are different patterns that do not always symbolize animals. Children love cool costumes, for such a mask of a plague doctor, a mad genius or a gypsy is suitable. Someone plays evil characters at matinees. In this case, masks with the face of a devil, an old sorcerer or uncle Chernomor will be relevant.

Black and white masks are painted by the children themselves. The advantage of sketches is that the child is creative. His cow is purple and his goat is flowered pink. After the matinee, the organizers arrange competitions for the most interesting or original face mask.

When creating a New Year's image, masks of snowflakes, Santa Claus, Snegurochka or Baba Yaga are suitable. If the child does not want to wear a full-fledged mask, then the ears of a hare, a fox or a bear will suit him.

Emotion masks will convey a joyful or sad mood. They are made in the form of a sun or a popular emoticon.

Sketches

Of great importance are the facial expressions of the mask. Even the most ordinary characters convey a palette of moods. They can be sad and cheerful, kind and evil, surprised and indifferent. This is achieved by drawing the eyebrows (raised, lowered, with a house), a smile on the face, the position of wrinkles, if we are talking about the mask of an old man or an old woman. Emotions are conveyed not only by the faces of people and animals, but also by inanimate images: mask patterns of flowers (bells, roses, daisies), vegetables and fruits (apples, tomatoes, plums).

Another series of children's matinees with masquerade costumes is being prepared in kindergartens again.

Parents once again have to prepare a mask for the matinee. It is best to do this with your child.

The topic of today's post is a master class that answers the question of how to solve this difficult task.

We need to turn mask making into an educational game.

The mask should be the most beautiful and cool in the kindergarten. This requirement implies an extraordinary approach on the part of parents.

Today, together with the children, we will make a mask for the matinee.

Today, together with the children, we will make masks of a deer, deer, deer, moose, moose, elk and fallow deer with our own hands.

Below are pictures that need to be printed, laminated, cut along the contour and threaded with twine or elastic to fit the child's head.

It is also possible with a strip of cardboard or laminated paper at the bottom of the mask, rolled up with a rim to fit the child's head (if you connect not with threads, but with a stapler, then the staples should be directed with sharp ends to the outside (so as not to scratch the child's head)).

To make the mask original, you need to print the black and white mask templates available here, color them with gouache or watercolors with the children and also laminate them, after which you need to thread a string or elastic band to fit the size of the child’s head or attach the mask to the prepared rim.

In this section of my blog you can download animal masks for kids for free.

They are suitable for both home role-playing games and games in kindergartens and early childhood schools.

Is it easy to make an interesting mask with a child?

Animal masks are often used at children's parties, New Year's carnivals. Children are very fond of dressing up in animals: it gives them special pleasure. The most common children's masks are a hare, a bear, a tiger, a cat, a fox and other pictures of forest animals.

If you are going to a holiday for a kindergarten, sometimes it can be expensive to buy a mask for children, and you will not always find the right one. Paper animal masks can be made at home with your own hands. The templates on our website will help you with this, which are easy to print and then cut along the contour.

A bit of history

Masks for children have become entertainment recently. But the history of this attribute is very old. In primitive times, people used masks to frighten evil spirits and used them for ritual purposes. It will be interesting for children to know that earlier people did not make masks for fun, but only for practical purposes.

Today, children's masks are made for carnivals in kindergartens, aesthetic centers. They are produced in industrial conditions, in toy factories. However, you can make a mask for children yourself, and you will spend minimal time and effort, but you will get great pleasure communicating with the child. Coloring pages can be chosen as the basis for the mask.

How to make them yourself?

Making children's masks with your own hands is not so difficult. To do this, stock up on cardboard, an elastic band, scissors and glue. On our site we look for templates or coloring pages depicting animals. Next, download and print them. Then, together with the baby, we cut out the drawing along the contour with our own hands and paste it on cardboard. Then cut out the mask again. We make holes on the sides and tie an elastic band in them, which will have to hold the mask on the child’s head.

If the coloring pages for children are taken as a basis, let the child paint them himself. It may not turn out too beautiful, but the kid will make a mask with his own hands. By the way, you can make masks not only specially for the holiday: prepare them with your own hands for a family celebration. For children, this will be an additional joy.

If your kids love coloring books, prepare a mask-shaped sketchbook for them. Subsequently, they can be used to prepare for a celebration or a children's matinee.

Coloring masks develop mindfulness, a sense of the shade of color, fine motor skills of the hands, and creative thinking. The kid acquires knowledge about the animal world, because by painting the mask, the child can learn a lot from educators or parents about how and where this animal lives, what it eats. In addition, by making coloring pages with your own hands, the kid will remember what color this animal is.

The development of the child should be varied, especially when it comes to the first years of life. You should not force the baby to sit down to write boring letters or numbers, draw a standard image. Let his imagination run wild. Multi-colored masks will allow children to express their imagination and creative imagination.
