🧰 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.

Fun Facts About Aliens and Space
So far, aliens only exist in stories and movies. But scientists really are searching for life in space – like tiny microbes on Mars or under the ice of some moons. Giant radio telescopes also listen for signals from space. Mars looks red because its ground is full of rusty iron. No life has been found beyond Earth yet, but the search goes on.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is this mask suitable for?
The alien 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 antennas stand tall.

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