Two little round horns, big ears, and a gap-toothed grin – our horned monster looks just like a real kindergartner. With this printable monster mask, every missing tooth becomes a reason to celebrate. This free horned monster mask template is perfect for a monster party, preschool, school, and dress-up.
Why This Horned Monster Is So Lovable
The two little round horns sit cheekily beside the tuft of hair and invite a different color for each one. Big ears give the monster a friendly, attentive look. The gap-toothed smile is the highlight – just like so many kids between five and eight. That makes this mask the perfect sidekick for a first loose tooth.

✂️ 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 Horned Monsters
In a gap-tooth giggle, every kid shows off their best monster smile – with or without a real missing tooth. Roll a die and glue that many paper horns onto a monster drawing. Practice brushing teeth the right way on a stuffed animal. Then listen with big monster ears to guess where a quiet sound is coming from.
Fun Facts About Losing Teeth
Kids have 20 baby teeth, which usually start falling out around age six. Grown-up teeth are already waiting underneath, ready to grow in. Adults end up with up to 32 teeth. Many families celebrate lost teeth with the Tooth Fairy, who trades a tooth for a little surprise. To keep new teeth healthy, brush twice a day for about two minutes.

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

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 160–200 gsm cardstock (65 lb) so the horns and ears don't bend.

Is there a German version?
Yes! You can find the German version at Hörnchenmonster Maske.
