  Our Halloween Role Play Masks are incredibly versatile and can be used in a multitude of ways across various early years and KS1 environments:

  • Creative Activity:

    • Use the masks as a creative project. Provide a variety of colouring tools, such as pencils, crayons, and felt-tips, and encourage children to decorate the masks. This is a great way to develop fine motor skills and artistic flair.

  • Role-Play & Storytelling:

    • Once the masks are complete, children can use them as props to act out their own Halloween stories. This is a fantastic way to encourage imaginative play and collaborative storytelling.

    • They can use different voices and movements for their characters, bringing their creations to life.

  • Communication and Language:

    • The masks can be a great stimulus for a discussion about different characters and Halloween themes. Ask questions like, "What does a werewolf sound like?", or "What kind of spells would a wizard cast?".

  • Adding to a Continuous Provision Area:

    • The masks can be laminated and placed in a role-play area with other props to inspire children's dramatic play throughout the Halloween season.
