Masks for School Plays: 3 Ways Printable Costume Components Enhance Student Performances
Masks for school plays are available everywhere. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors with plastic, latex and paper mache designs. While a lot of faux fur and three dimensional elements might look nice, they can get very pricey. This can become extremely prohibitive if your school budget is tight and growing tighter each year. Printable masks may be an effective alternative that helps you keep student performance quality high no matter how many classes you must instruct and outfit.
Being Cost Effective Means Using Cheaper Materials for Props and Costumes
Golden Butterfly Masquerade Mask
The first, and possibly most obvious, benefit of using printable masks in school theater is the cost factor. An inexpensive latex mask will start at anywhere from $15 to $20 and can go way up from there. Extravagant headpieces may cost well into the hundreds. These may look great, but are they really necessary? Younger students don’t mind cheaper masks for school plays. That’s why an alternative may be much more appealing to you and the school board members who handle budgeting needs for each department.
Printable masks can cost well under $5 each to purchase. The beautiful Golden Butterfly Masquerade mask costs $2.99 while the in-your-face Allosaurus mask has a completely different style for just a dollar more. This selection means you don’t have to sacrifice variety when you are trying to cut back on classroom expenses.
If you are in need of multiple characters, consider searching for money-saving packages that offer multiple masks for school plays. Each pack features a similar theme with a dozen or more different printable masks to try on. Some offer far more, like the 20 printable masks found in the animal package. The vibrant African mask package gives you access to all of the traditional tribal masks currently available on the website.
Printable Masks Are Extremely Detailed Without All the Overhead
Sheepdog Mask
The printable masks available to teachers and parents today are not the same as the cardboard and paper masks you may have seen as a kid. Each is highly detailed to produce a lifelike appearance. Take a close look at the dainty fur detail seen on the sheepdog mask or the fine textures used on the gorilla mask.
You can easily equip students with masks for school plays that look professionally designed. Your students will be excited to wear their amazing printable masks for the big performance and you can rest easy knowing there will be plenty of resources to go around. Depending on the quality of paper used to create each face, you may be able to get many uses out of a single printable mask.
Keep Prep Time as Short as Possible Before Each Performance
It can be exciting to create your own props and masks for school theater. This process can become tiresome after the first two or three class performances. You may also discover that more money is being lost in buying materials than would be if you went with printable masks instead.
You and your students have limited time to spend on preparing for plays. There are backdrops to be created, practice runs that must be completed and organizational tasks necessary to make sure everything goes smoothly on the day of the presentation. Why go to all the trouble of building a handmade wardrobe when you can simply print and cut stunning designs like the Red and Gold Masquerade mask or the Jester Venetian Carnival mask?
