Happy as a clam - and your kids will be too when they get their hands on this one! Our printable clam mask is a wonderfully quirky addition to any ocean themed activity. With those ridged shell halves and that cheerful expression, this is one of the more unusual masks in the collection and all the better for it. Perfect for under the sea school plays, ocean classroom projects, World Book Day and birthday parties.

A great conversation starter for topics on shells, molluscs and ocean habitats - and one that kids will find genuinely surprising given how few animal masks feature shellfish. Every mask comes with a full colour version AND a black and white line art version for colouring in.

5 Interesting Facts About Clams!

Clams are bivalve molluscs, which means their body is protected by two hinged shells - and they can snap them shut incredibly fast when threatened.
The ocean quahog clam is one of the longest-lived animals on Earth - one specimen named Ming was found to be 507 years old, making it alive during the reign of Henry VIII!
Giant clams in the Pacific Ocean can grow up to 1.2 metres across and weigh over 200kg - big enough for a small child to sit in, though they won't snap shut on you as the films suggest.
Clams are filter feeders - they draw water in, filter out tiny particles of food like plankton, and expel the clean water back out. A single clam can filter up to 50 litres of water per day.
Pearls are made when an irritant gets inside a clam or oyster shell - the animal coats it in layer after layer of a substance called nacre, eventually forming a pearl over several years.
