Fun Ways to Use the Mask with Kids
There are a million and one fun ways to use a zebra mask with kids. Start by helping little ones get into character with a few simple questions.
Ask them things like, what does a zebra sound like? How does a zebra walk? What does a zebra eat? And, where does a zebra live? By asking children about the animal they have just turned into, kids will learn by doing.
Another great idea for using a zebra mask is to prompt children to act out short stories while wearing the mask. With a little creative thinking, this fun mask can take children on a wild ride through the jungle or to a happy home at the zoo.
