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. 

Maybe they can even join the circus and pretend to be a zebra with hidden talents.  Perhaps little ones can create a safari-themed imaginative play by making and wearing other animal masks, as well.

With unlimited ways to use a zebra mask, there can be hours of fun and learning for everyone involved.
