The Wild Animal 3D Masks pack is an exciting, hands-on craft and learning activity that lets children go on a creative safari while exploring the characteristics and habitats of wild animals from around the world. This engaging set includes 30 pre-cut, easy-to-assemble 3D cardboard masks featuring six popular animal designs: elephant, frog, hippopotamus, koala, monkey, and lion/tiger.
