Ahoy there, crafty crew! If your kids are ready to set sail on a swashbuckling adventure, they’re going to love these printable Pirate Mask Templates. Whether they’re pretending to command a mighty ship or squawk orders as the cheeky parrot sidekick, these masks will instantly transport your little pirates to the high seas — right from the comfort of your living room or backyard!
This pirate mask set includes two awesome templates: a fierce pirate captain, complete with a scruffy beard and classic pirate hat, and his trusty sidekick — a colorful pirate parrot perched on his shoulder, always ready with a “Squawk!” and some pirate mischief. With these masks, your kids can switch roles and imagine endless pirate adventures.
Masks are one of the best ways to spark imaginative play for kids. They’re simple to make, quick to color, and open up a whole new world of storytelling. With these pirate masks, your kids can host their own pirate puppet show, plan a backyard treasure hunt, or even put on a pirate play for family and friends. The only limit is how far their imaginations will sail!
And the fun doesn’t stop here — your little pirates can keep the adventure going with even more themed crafts. Be sure to check out our Parrot Straw Rocket, a silly project that lets kids launch their feathery parrot high into the air. Or grab our Pirate Clothespin Puppets and put on a puppet show where the fierce pirate and his loyal parrot come to life.
For more pirate fun, don’t miss our Pirate Paper Bag Puppets — another easy craft that transforms lunch bags into a whole crew of pirate characters. And when your little ones need some quiet time, our Pirate Coloring Pages are perfect for a calm creative break after a day of swashbuckling fun.
One of the best parts about these Pirate Mask Templates is that they’re totally customizable. Print them on sturdy cardstock, let the kids color them in with their favorite bold colors, add a few extra feathers or glitter for flair, and attach them to a stick or elastic band. In no time, they’ll be ready to yell “Aye aye, captain!” and sail the seven seas.
This craft is perfect for pirate-themed birthday parties too. Set up a mask-making station and let every guest create their own pirate persona before they go hunting for buried treasure. It’s a great way to keep kids entertained and send them home with a handmade pirate keepsake.
So grab your crayons, scissors, and a sense of adventure — these Pirate Mask Templates are the perfect way to spark creative play, giggles, and hours of pirate fun. May your kids’ pirate tales be grand, their parrots be chatty, and their imaginations sail far beyond the horizon. Arrr, happy crafting, mateys!

Step-by-Step Directions to make printable Pirate Mask Templates
Step 1: Download & Print the Template
Start by downloading the Printable Mask template from the link provided at the end of this post. Print the template on sturdy 8.5x11 cardstock to ensure your mask is durable and ready for play.
Step 2: Color the Mask
Let your creativity shine by coloring the mask template. You can use markers, colored pencils, or crayons. Encourage your child to add unique patterns and colors to make their mask one-of-a-kind.
Step 3: Cut Out the Mask
Carefully cut out the mask along the solid lines. If your child is too young to handle scissors, be sure to assist them with this step. Don't forget to cut out the eye holes so your child can see through the mask.
To get started, have an adult gently push the tip of the scissors through the center of each eye. Then, carefully cut along the lines. Alternatively, you can use a hole punch to create a small hole, and then gradually enlarge it with scissors.
Step 4: Attach the Elastic Cord
Next, you'll need to attach an elastic cord to the back of the mask so your child can wear it comfortably. Start by measuring the elastic cord to fit around your child's head. For reference, I used a 13-inch piece, but you may need to adjust this based on your child's head size. Have an adult help with this step by using a glue gun to attach the ends of the elastic cord to the back of the mask's head, near the eyes. Make sure the cord is securely attached and allow the glue to cool and harden completely before letting your child try on the mask.
