Printable Masks

Recently a few of my printable masks posts have been getting a lot of traffic from many different international websites. Wondering why this was, I found that the Carnival season between late January and through Lent. The Italian Carnival of Viareggio is also starts in the beginning of February, and a little Wikipedia research turned up some really interesting facts on how Carnival is celebrated differently all over the world – right down to our own Mardi Gras here in the U.S.A.

Elaborate costumes are impractical for young children or in a classroom/day care setting, but printing these masks out onto card stock and finding creative ways to decorate them and wear them will allow your kids to celebrate these beautiful international traditions!
