Big feathers on the sides and a pointed beak in the middle – our printable raven mask is mysterious and clever all at once. This light eye mask is quick to make: color it, cut it out, and add elastic. This free raven mask template is perfect for a Halloween party, dress-up, and storybook plays.
Why This Raven Mask Is So Mysterious
Big feathers on the sides give the eye mask a graceful, wing-like shape. The pointed beak sits right over the nose and makes the raven instantly recognizable. With black and a hint of blue or purple, the feathers shimmer like real raven plumage. For kids five and up, it's a mask that also fits fairy tales like The Seven Ravens.

Fun Facts About Ravens
The common raven is the largest songbird in the world – even if its croak doesn't sound much like singing. Ravens are among the smartest birds: they solve tricky puzzles, use tools, and can remember human faces. Some ravens can even mimic sounds. In Norse mythology, the god Odin has two ravens who tell him everything happening in the world. And in the Grimm tale The Seven Ravens, seven brothers are turned into ravens.
