It takes guts to pick the cockroach - and that's exactly what makes it such a memorable choice. Teachers love it for minibeasts topics, kids love it because it winds up their parents. Win-win. Every mask comes with a full colour version AND a black and white line art version for colouring in.

5 Interesting Facts About Cockroaches!

Cockroaches have been around for over 320 million years - they survived the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs and have barely changed since the time of the coal forests.
They can survive without their head for up to a week - their body continues to breathe through holes in their thorax, and they only die eventually because they can't drink water.
Cockroaches can hold their breath for up to 40 minutes and survive being submerged underwater for half an hour - which makes them very difficult to drown.
They're extraordinarily fast runners - a cockroach can reach speeds of about 5km/h, which relative to body size is like a human sprinting at nearly 300km/h.
Most cockroach species are actually harmless and play an important role in ecosystems, breaking down decaying organic matter - only about 30 of the 4,500 known species are considered pests.
