Choose orange wings, a blue fan, pink petals or make your own pattern. There are 12 different butterfly half-masks: 6 color and 6 color-in designs. Each has one-page A4 and Letter PDFs in two trial-fitting sizes.
Files are available for trial printing. Physical printing and fitting have not yet been confirmed: check the ruler, eye-opening position and clear vision first. Child and adult labels do not guarantee a fit by age.

PNG ↓For a quick start, choose a ready-colored mask: an orange arch, blue fan, pink petals, mint leaves, violet clouds or sunrise bands. Each has its own contour and pattern. The outline designs differ too: round wings, three waves, leaves, hearts, broad ribbons and garden flowers. Large smooth curves are a useful first cutting choice; scalloped edges need more frequent turns of the paper. Pick a shape before choosing your colors.
For an outline template, prepare pencils or markers and keep the sheet whole. Choose two main colors and one accent. Match corresponding panels across the two wings, or deliberately invent different sides. Interior leaf, flower, heart and stripe lines stay printed on the paper. Cut the shared outer contour, two empty eye openings and small side fastening holes. Decorative circles should remain intact; they are coloring areas rather than extra holes.
The selector above the cards changes every download together. The child version measures 160 mm across the visible outer contour; the adult version measures 185 mm. The eye-opening centre distance appears in the card and on the sheet. These are two trial-fitting options, not universal face sizes. An adult may prefer the smaller one, while neither may fit a particular child. Judge the actual fit rather than the label.
Choose A4 or Letter to match your printer paper. Print the PDF at 100%, with “Fit to page” disabled. Measure the control line: it should be exactly 50 mm. If it is shorter, check paper format and scaling before repeating one sheet. PNG is useful for viewing, but browser printing can change its dimensions, so use the PDF for a measured fitting.
Prepare paper, thin card, glue, scissors, paper tape and soft elastic or a broad paper handle. Check the printer instructions before using heavy paper. Color a black-and-white mask before cutting. If the shape feels floppy, glue it to thin card and let it dry completely. A damp sheet bends and tears more easily.
Cut the outer contour, turning the paper to keep the scissors comfortable. Leave internal wing lines intact. If an wing tears, reinforce the back with paper tape. An adult cuts the eye openings and side fastening holes; children do not need to pierce the sheet with scissors. Hold the mask to the face without fastening it first and check that the eyes look through the middle of the openings.
The lower notch leaves room for the nose. Keep the nose and mouth open; edges must not touch the eyes or press on the bridge of the nose. Check forward and sideways vision. If the openings do not line up, remove the mask and try the other size. Tightening elastic does not correct eye spacing: it only presses the paper closer to the face.
Reinforce the side fastening marks on the back, then ask an adult to fit elastic without tension. The mask should come away in one movement. Alternatively, glue a broad paper handle to one side so you can hold it in front of the face and move it away quickly. Check while seated before starting a scene. If it slips, take it off and adjust the fastening, rather than holding it near the eyes.
Give your butterfly a name and one line. Act out a garden meeting: one butterfly searches for a flower while the other explains the way. Swap roles and invent a new setting independently. On an outline template, repeat one large motif across both wings, then create your own pattern of bands or leaves. Draw decorations on the paper and keep the openings clear. For an active scene, hold the mask in your hand as a puppet. Do not run while wearing it; stop and remove it immediately if it feels uncomfortable.
Exactly 12: 6 color and 6 color-in designs. Child and adult PDFs are size options for the same project, not extra drawings.
Choose “Adult · 185 mm” above the cards and press “Show”. The A4 and Letter buttons then download adult files. The child width is 160 mm.
One page with a dimensioned mask, short instructions, a 50 mm control line and a Kiduverse link. The 96 files differ by design, language, physical width or paper format.
Only the two eye openings and small side fastening holes, with an adult doing the cutting. Leave internal wing and pattern lines intact.
Check scaling with the 50 mm control line and try the other size. Enlarging changes the eye spacing too. Do not use a mask if edges touch the eyes or obstruct vision.
Yes. Attach a broad paper handle to one side and hold the mask in front of the face. Check that the handle is secure and the mask moves away easily.
