5. Soft Felt Halloween Masks

Dress-up play is a major part of toddler development, and making a soft Halloween mask lets your child join in the costume fun safely.

Materials Needed:

  • Felt sheets in Halloween colors (black, orange, white)
  • Elastic band
  • Fabric glue
  • Pre-cut mask patterns (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cut simple shapes, like a cat face or pumpkin.
  2. Help your toddler arrange and glue smaller felt pieces for eyes, nose, or decorations.
  3. Attach elastic to fit gently around your child’s head.

Parent Tip: Keep designs simple and soft—ditch any hard embellishments to ensure comfort.
