Why This Three Kings Crown Is So Festive
Tall points give the crown its regal, festive shape. The big star in the middle is a reminder of the Star of Bethlehem that the three kings followed. The crown closes with glue tabs, so it fits any head – even over a winter hat. For kids five and up, it's a lovely craft for celebrating the end of the Christmas season.

✂️ Craft Instructions: Turn the Template into a Mask
🧰 What You Need
- Printer + heavier paper or cardstock (65–110 lb)
- Colored pencils, markers or glitter pens
- Scissors
- Glue stick or stapler
- Optional: a paper strip to make it longer
Print the template at actual size on thick paper.
Color the crown or headband and decorate it however you like.
Cut along the outer line and keep the tabs on both sides.
Measure around the head; if the band is too short, glue a paper strip between the tabs.
Overlap the tabs and glue or staple them – put it on and shine!
⚠️ 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 Kings
March through the classroom in a Three Kings parade with crowns and a big paper star. Carry paper gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to a nativity scene. Follow a flashlight star through a darkened room, just like the wise men followed the star. Then bake or share a slice of king cake and see who finds the hidden surprise.
Fun Facts About Three Kings Day
Epiphany, also called Three Kings Day, is celebrated on January 6. In the Christmas story, three wise men follow a star to Bethlehem and bring gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. In Mexico, Spain, and many Latin American countries, Día de Reyes is a big celebration, often with a sweet bread called rosca de reyes that has a tiny figure hidden inside. In Germany, kids dressed as the three kings go door to door singing and collecting donations for children in need. They even write a blessing in chalk above the door.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is this mask suitable for?
The Three Kings 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 Sternsinger-Krone.
