Our 4th graders do a mask making unit each year. Here are some of the mask for this past class. They create wild animal masks (and such) by making their own zoo with Roylco's Animal Face Forms! Each see-through plastic face form is reusable and great for papier maché or clay. I am going on year 5 with this same set and all is well with them. They are holding up very good!
You can fill them with plaster to create an animal plaque for your wall or decorate each creation to create a one-of-a-kind critter with using the plaster gauze.
Each package contains five forms, one of each animal. The inside width of each form ranges from 6 to 7 inches (about 15 to 18 cm), making them child-sized.

Books To Help You Make Masks
One of the things that led to my choosing to study costume and
makeup as a theatrical major in college was a class on mask-making.
To help you with your artistic crafting, I've recommended a variety
of books on making masks that run the gamut from
playingdress-up with kids to serious stage-crafting of masks.

Thanks for this post! I have a gazillion (ok, maybe an exaggeration) face forms. A previous art teacher had used them, but I wasn't sure how or what to make with them. This post offers some inspiration and direction. Thanks for checking out my blog!
