Let us get started with making a mask!

 

1. First you will want to download the digital file. There is a blank template that is not colored in and a version with color.
2. Print the printable template out on cardstock or regular printer paper. Cardstock is more solid but you can use the white version and trace it on colorful paper then create the wolf with colorful cardstock, craft, or construction paper.
3. If you are coloring the template color in the wolf mask or paint it.
4. Cut out the template from the paper along the outline.
5. Cut out the eye holes so kids can see through the mask.
6. On the side of the mask punch a small hole with a hole puncher or poke a hole to make small circles.
7. Do the same on the other side.
8. Put the yarn or string through the hole and tie it.
9. Measure around the kids head how long it needs to be to stay on.
10. Then cut the string and tie it on the other side.
11. Another fun way to make the mask, instead of string, glue the mask on to a craft stick to make a masquerade mask style. Just use hot glue to glue the popsicle stick on to one side of the mask.

Now lets learn a little bit more about wolves. If you are teaching kids about wolves they might want to know a fun fact or two about the animals:

1. Wolves cannot see or hear when they are born.
2. They live in packs and are social animals.
3. There can be around 30 wolves in a pack.
4. The older wolf siblings help care for the babies.
5. Wolves mate for life. They have families similar to humans.
6. They can run as fast as 38 mph!
7. They have 4 to 6 babies in a litter.
8. They are closely related to foxes, coyotes, and domestic dogs.
