🧰 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 Werewolves
In a full moon game, everyone turns into a werewolf whenever someone holds up a paper moon and turns back when it disappears. Hold a howling concert where the whole pack howls together, soft and loud. Follow a trail of paper paw prints. Then play Pack Moves, where everyone stays together and moves as one wolf pack.
Fun Facts About Werewolves and Wolves
Werewolves are legendary creatures from old European stories – people said to turn into wolves under a full moon. The word were comes from an old word for man. Real wolves don't actually howl at the moon – they howl to talk to their pack and mark their territory. Tilting their heads up while they howl just helps the sound carry farther. Wolves live in family packs and can be found in parts of North America, Europe, and Asia.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is this mask suitable for?
The werewolf 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.

We recommend 160–200 gsm cardstock (65 lb) so the pointed ears don't bend.
