Pointy ears, a sneaky bandit mask, and a curious little snout – our printable raccoon mask turns kids into the cleverest critters in the forest. Color it, cut it out, and add elastic. This free raccoon mask template is a perfect match for our woodland animals set.
Why This Raccoon Mask Is So Clever
The wide bandit patch around the eye holes is just an outline, so kids get to color it in dark themselves. That's the moment the drawing turns into a real raccoon, and kids love it. Pointed ears and a pointy snout give the face a sharp, curious look. With gray, black, and white, it comes together fast.
An outlined eye patch for kids to fill in.
Two alert, pointy ears.
Finished with a small nose on the tip.
Part of our Woodland Animals craft set.
✂️ Craft Instructions: Turn the Template into a Mask
🧰 What You Need
- Printer + heavier paper or cardstock (65–110 lb)
- Colored pencils, markers or watercolors
- Scissors (craft knife for the eye holes – adults only)
- Elastic cord (about 12–14 inches)
- Hole punch for the elastic holes
Print the template at actual size (100 %, not “fit to page”) on thick paper.
Color the mask any way you like – the big shapes are perfect for little hands.
Cut along the thick outer line.
An adult cuts out the eye holes with a craft knife or pointed scissors.
Punch holes at the two small circles, thread the elastic through and knot it – done!
⚠️ Safety: eye holes, craft knives and hot glue are grown-up jobs. Don’t run or play rough while wearing a mask that limits your view – and never put elastic around the neck.

Hide small treasures around the room and let the curious raccoons sniff them all out. Fill a tub with water and plastic fruit so raccoons can feel around for their snacks like at a stream.

Fun Facts About Raccoons
Raccoons are native to North America and live everywhere from forests to big cities. They often dunk and roll their food around in water, which helps them feel it with their super sensitive front paws. Those nimble paws can even open lids and latches. Raccoons are mostly active at night and eat almost anything, from berries to bugs. Their dark eye mask and ringed tail make them easy to spot.
