Two big bulging eyes, a giant froggy grin, and a royal crown with jewels – our printable frog prince mask brings the famous Grimm fairy tale to life. Color it, cut it out, and add elastic. This free frog prince mask template is perfect for fairy tale plays and dress-up.
Why This Frog Prince Mask Is So Royal
The eye holes sit right inside the two big bulging eye bumps, so kids really look out through froggy eyes. A super wide mouth gives the frog a funny, friendly expression. Between the eyes sits a big crown with three points and round jewels that can shine in gold and bright colors. For kids five and up, it's part frog and part fairy tale royalty.

Play Ideas for Little Frog Princes
In the fairy tale play, the golden ball drops into the well – a bowl or bucket – and the frog prince fishes it back out. Hop from paper lily pad to lily pad in a frog jumping game. Set a royal table where the frog gets to sit beside the princess and eat from her little golden plate, just like in the story. Then play Transform, where every frog turns into royalty on your signal.
Fun Facts About the Frog Prince
The Frog Prince is the very first story in the famous collection by the Brothers Grimm. In it, a princess drops her golden ball into a well, and a frog brings it back to her. Here's a surprise: in the original tale, the frog isn't kissed – the princess angrily throws him against the wall, and that's when he turns into a prince. The kiss was added in later retellings. The story also features the loyal servant Heinrich, whose heart was bound by three iron bands that burst with joy at the end.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is this mask suitable for?
The frog prince mask is made for ages 5 to 8. Kids color and cut out the outer shape themselves, and an adult helps cut the eye holes.
Will the mask fit a child’s face?
Yes – printed at actual size (100 %) on A4 or US Letter, the mask is roughly the size of a child’s face. For adults, scale it up to 110–115 % or print on A3/Tabloid.
What paper works best?
We recommend heavier cardstock around 200 gsm (about 110 lb) so the big crown stands tall.
Is the download free?
Yes, all masks and coloring pages on PureSketchy are 100% free for personal use, preschools, and schools.
Is there a German version?
Yes! You can find the German version at Froschkönig Maske.
