Emotion Masks Craft – Feelings & Emotions Activity

Identify and name five basic emotions — happy, sad, funny, angry, and shocked — by coloring the matching mouth mask.

Practice scissor control by cutting out a mask template along its printed outline.

Assemble a simple wearable prop by taping a popsicle stick handle to the back of a cutout mask.

Pre-cut the mask templates for children younger than three before handing them out, per the file's own preparation note.

Print extra copies of the template pages ahead of time for a large group, since the file recommends multiple copies per class.

Have crayons or colored pencils, tape, scissors, and popsicle sticks (or chopsticks) ready before starting, since all four are needed for assembly.

Emotion identification — children match a facial expression (happy, sad, funny, angry, shocked) to its mask template while coloring it.

Fine motor cutting — children cut around the printed mask outline with scissors.

Craft assembly — children tape a popsicle stick to the back of the finished mask to create a handle.
