Example: all 10 Halloween masks in outline for a second-grade class party
A second-grade teacher is planning the class Halloween party for 22 children and wants every Halloween mask, for the children to colour themselves. Settings: Masks “Halloween”, Colours “Outlines to colour”, Size “For children”, Masks “All of them”, Paper US Letter.
- “All of them” prints the ten Halloween masks one per page, always in this order: Pumpkin, Bat, Black cat, Ghost, Skull, Witch, Monster, Vampire, Spider, Mummy. The set number does not matter here.
- On US Letter the line under each name gives the width in inches: “Child size · about 6.25 in wide” on most pages, 6.5 in for the widest four, 5.75 in for the skull.
- With outlines the box at the foot has five numbered steps, from “Colour in your mask.” to tying the elastic, with “Cut out the grey eye holes — a grown-up can help.” in the middle.
- Printing the PDF three times gives 30 masks for 22 children, so even the last child still picks from nine.

paper-masks.pdf, ten US Letter pages in black and white. The bat is a half mask that stops at the bridge of the nose, handy for a child who doesn’t like a full face. For the teachers, choose “For adults”: the same masks 15% larger, about 6.5–7.5 in wide.
How it works
- Choose animals, Halloween or both, colour or outlines to colour, and child or adult size.
- Print on card if you can, cut around the outside and cut out the eye holes.
- Punch the holes at the sides and tie on elastic or string.
Frequently asked questions
- What paper should I use?
- Light card (160–220 g/m²) makes a mask that keeps its shape; on plain paper, glue the cut-out mask onto a cereal box before cutting the eye holes.
- How do I fasten the mask?
- Punch the two small side holes and knot thin elastic through them, or staple a paper strip around the head. A wooden stick taped to one side makes a mask to hold.
- Will it fit my child?
- The child size is about 16 cm wide with the eyes about 5.5 cm apart, the adult size 17–19 cm with 6.3 cm. Hold it up before cutting the eyes and adjust if needed.
- Can children colour them?
- Yes — choose outlines and the masks print in black and white, ready for crayons, paint or glitter.
- How many masks are there?
- 25: fifteen animals (cat, dog, fox, wolf, bear, panda, koala, rabbit, mouse, lion, tiger, owl, frog, pig and raccoon) and ten Halloween masks (pumpkin, bat, black cat, ghost, skull, witch, monster, vampire, spider and mummy). “All of them” prints every mask of the theme you chose, one per page.
- How do I get different masks?
- With 1, 2, 4 or 8 masks, the mask set number decides which ones you get. For 8 animal-and-Halloween masks, set 1 gives Rabbit, Witch, Pumpkin, Black cat, Dog, Monster, Owl and Panda, and set 2 Tiger, Panda, Dog, Rabbit, Pumpkin, Fox, Bat and Owl. The same number always gives the same masks.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The masks are drawn in your browser.
