11 Halloween Mask Craft For Kids

Halloween is right around the corner, and we’ve got some great mask ideas for kids. 

These DIY Halloween masks are easy to make at home and they’re cheap! Plus, they’re a great way to get your kids excited about Halloween.

Animal Mask

Cut out the shape of the animal from a piece of paper.

• Use a marker to draw eyes, nose, mouth, and ears on your mask.
• Draw mane on top of the head using a marker or crayon.
• Use markers or crayons to draw the tail in the back for added effect!

Draw fur using crayons or markers all over the mask so it looks furry like an animal’s fur would be!

Monster Mask

You will need

• Paper plate
• Tissue paper of your choice (cut into thin strips)
• Glue
• Scissors

Paint (for the face) and paintbrush, foam, craft foam, googly eyes, etc. for decorating.

Cut out a circle from a paper plate large enough to cover your child’s head when placed on top of it.

Apply glue to one side of the paper plate and attach tissue paper over it in an alternate directions all around till you reach another edge (make sure that you leave enough space between each strip). 

Let it dry completely before applying paint to make sure that no wet tissue sticks out from below!

Paper Plate Mask

All you need is a paper plate, some paint, and googly eyes. Cut out the center of a paper plate to make eye holes. Use your fingers or scissors to make them bigger if necessary!

Paint over the entire plate with white paint to give it more depth and create a face base. Let dry completely before moving on!

Once dry draw/paint on facial features as desired (eyes, mouth, etc.) Let dry again before moving forward with decorating!

After all of your paints have dried add googly eyes onto each side of the mask (or just one side if you want) then finish it off by sticking on some black pipe cleaners for hair!

Unicorn Mask

Materials

• White paper plate
• Colored paper (pink and white)
• Glue
• Paint (any color)
• Scissors

Instructions

Cut out the horn shape from the paper plate. Cut out two smaller circles for the eyes, and two small triangles for the ears. You can either keep them as is or draw on details like pupils or eyelashes with a black marker pen. 

Cover your unicorn mask with some glue, then stick on pieces of pink and white colored paper to make it look more like unicorn skin! Let dry according to instructions on your glue bottle, then paint over any areas you want to be white, such as around the eyes or mouth area. 

If you want, add some hair accessories like feathers or flowers too; this will make your little one look even more magical when they put on their costume!

Fairy Mask

First, you’ll need to gather the following materials.

• Lightweight cardboard
• Paper or fabric for the wings (optional)
• Craft glue or white glue
• Paintbrushes (if you’re using acrylic paint)

Glitter Masks

These glitter masks are fun to make and wear. They’re also great for getting kids to clean up after they’ve finished playing with the mask!

To make a standard glitter mask, start by cutting out the head shape of the mask from a piece of construction paper (or cardboard) using a template or free printable template.

Cut out two holes for the eyes and attach them to your child’s head with tape or glue. Optional: Add hair above the mask using pom-poms or glitter glue!

Popsicle Stick Mask

Use popsicle sticks, glue, and paint to make a mask. 

The basic idea is to use wood glue to glue the popsicle sticks together. Then, use a paintbrush to paint the popsicle sticks. Finally, use a paintbrush to paint on the face.

You can decorate your mask however you want. Make it as scary or funny as you want!

Pirate Mask

• Cut out a circle from the middle of the paper plate.
• Cut out eye holes and a nose hole, and cut out another small circle for the mouth.

Owl Mask

To make an owl mask, you’ll need.

• A paper plate
• Black paint and a brush (or marker if you want to use that instead)
• Scissors or a craft knife (if using paper plates)
• Feathers (get these at your local craft store)

To begin, paint the plate black with your brush or marker. While the plate is still wet, attach feathers around it using hot glue. 

Let dry overnight before continuing on to 

In step 2, draw eyes, ears, and a beak onto the plate using your black marker. Cut out these shapes with scissors or a craft knife if you need extra precision! 

Finally, in step 3 of this process add some color by drawing a mouth with hot glue on top of whatever part of the mask will be worn against our face such as underneath our chin area for example…
