Jungle Masks
Get ready for wild pretend play with these fun Jungle Masks. They are perfect for party fun, classroom activities, or a VBS jungle adventure. Sometimes all you need is a mask to turn an ordinary afternoon into a roaring adventure. We’ve included both full color and black and white versions so you can choose what works best for your group. Pair them with other jungle themed easy crafts for kids to create a full day of imaginative play.
Supplies
White card stock
Scissors
Dowel or craft stick
Glue or glue gun
Crayons, markers, or colored pencils if using the black and white version
Hole punch and elastic string if wearing as a face mask
Instructions
Choose which printable templates you would like to use. You can print the ready to go color version or the black and white coloring pages for kids.
If using the black and white version, let children color their masks before cutting them out. Coloring first makes it much easier to handle.
Carefully cut out the mask along the outer edges. Cut out the eye holes if needed.
Glue the mask onto a dowel or craft stick and allow it to dry completely. If you prefer a wearable mask, punch a hole on each side and attach elastic string.
Your jungle explorer is now ready for adventure.
Fun Facts About the Jungle
The largest jungle in the world is the Amazon rainforest. It covers about one third of South America and surrounds the Amazon River basin.
The Amazon is home to millions of species of plants and animals. Many of them cannot be found anywhere else on Earth.
Rainforests are often called the lungs of the planet because they produce a large amount of the world’s oxygen.
