✂️ 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.

Play Ideas for Little Wizards
Put on a magic show where every kid performs a simple trick, like making a coin disappear. In a transformation game, the wizard calls out an animal and everyone instantly turns into it. At wizard school, kids mix colorful potions with water and food coloring. Then challenge everyone to make up a silly rhyming spell.
Fun Facts About Wizards
Wizards appear in lots of legends and fairy tales – sometimes wise and helpful, sometimes sly and tricky. One of the most famous is Merlin from the legends of King Arthur, who guides the young king with advice and magic. A pointed hat and long beard are the classic features wizards are drawn with in picture books. Real stage magicians don't use actual magic, though – they use skill, practice, and clever tricks. With a little practice, kids can learn their first magic tricks too.
