Fun Facts About Crowns
Crowns have been a symbol of kings and queens for thousands of years. Real crowns are often made of gold and covered with precious gems and pearls. Some of them weigh more than four pounds – that's heavy for a head! The British Crown Jewels, kept in the Tower of London, include some of the most famous crowns in the world. In fairy tales, kings and queens almost always wear a crown.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is this mask suitable for?
The king's crown is made for ages 5 to 8. Kids color and cut it out themselves, and an adult helps glue the tabs and fit it to the child's head.
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 crown holds its shape. For bigger heads, add an extra paper strip to lengthen the band.
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 Königskrone.
