If you’re looking for a really easy to make and easy to wear Halloween costume for kids, then this HANDPRINT and PAPER PLATE PUMPKIN MASK is just the ticket! Wear it on its own or match it with orange or green clothes and you’re good to go!
We love that these pumpkin masks are open faced. It makes it so much easier for glasses wearers and for kids that don’t like full face masks. If you’re wearing them for Trick or Treating, it means you can eat your candy without having to take the mask off too!
The handprint leaves add a lovely personal touch and are so cute! This is a lovely autumn mask for kids to make for the season, to wear whilst pumpkin picking or as part of their Halloween outfit!
