free printable koala masks in gold, green, grey or colour your own!

Australia day is coming up very soon and to celebrate we’ve created some Aussie koala masks! There is a printable template in either gold, green, grey (like a real koala) or blank so the kids can colour and decorate their own.

To make one of these at home I’d recommend using a heavy paper stock if you have it on hand but if not don’t worry, it will still work on ordinary A4 paper.

How to

  1. Print out this template (there are four options within the one pdf, just print out your favourite colour)
  2. Cut out the strips at the bottom of the page, they become the head strap or if you prefer punch a hole and use some hat elastic to hold it onto your child’s face.
  3. Cut out the mask and eyeholes – I used a craft knife and cutting mat for the eyes but obviously you can’t give that equipment to a child, they will have to either use scissors or have an adult cut the eyeholes out for them with a craft knife.
  4. Staple one strip to each end of the mask next to the eyeholes.
  5. Measure around the head of the person who is going to wear it and staple to fit at the back.

Or get the kids busy being creative by decorating their own mask however they like.

Here are the girls looking cute in their green and gold Aussie koala masks.

They were is a silly mood so the only way I could get them to pose nicely for a picture was to allow for a super-silly shot afterwards (or two or three or four).

    I’m basically a big kid who never grew up and still loves to muck around with paint, glitter, glue and toilet rolls. With the crafts shared here on this website I’m hoping to give other parents and carers inspiration to get crafty with their kids at home – make our projects, or use them as a source of inspiration to spark ideas of your own. When it comes to crafting no rules apply!
