Maori are the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand. The word "Maori" literally means "the local people", or "the original people". Maori masks are actual designs tatooed into the facial skin of Maori natives as a part of their rich traditional history. The tattoos hold powerful meanings and also portray the legal identity of the individual. New Zealand native ethnic and cultural world country masks for young children to print, cut out with scissors, color, and decorate with crayons, markers, glitter, feathers, yarn, colorful papers and fabrics. Decorate your masks with preshaped cut and paste designs.
Children can wear the masks and make them come to life with stories and song or use the masks as wall hanging decorations for parties and thematic events.
Print and trace the designs onto multi-color fun craft foam sheets to create colorful soft face masks. Use the left over trimmings of foam pieces to cut and paste designs and shapes onto the mask.
All paper mask designs are printable on regular or heavy duty 8 1/2" x 11" paper. Print landscape mode for larger masks, portrait setting for smaller masks.
More Maori style masks will be added to this section soon.
