Velvety soft, magnificently blind and an engineering genius - our printable mole mask celebrates one of Britain's most fascinating underground residents! The mole spends almost its entire life beneath the surface, sculpting an extraordinary network of tunnels with those incredible spade-like hands. Perfect for British wildlife school plays, habitats classroom projects, World Book Day, birthday parties, and deeply subterranean imaginative play.

A lovely mask for soil, habitats and underground ecosystems topics - the mole's extraordinary biology and surprising strength never fail to amaze kids who've only ever seen the molehills it leaves behind. Every mask comes with a full colour version AND a black and white line art version for colouring in.

5 Interesting Facts About Moles!

Moles can dig up to 20 metres of new tunnel in a single day - using their extraordinary spade-shaped front paws that rotate sideways for maximum scooping efficiency, unlike any other mammal's hands.
They're not actually blind - moles have tiny eyes covered by a thin membrane of skin, allowing them to detect light and dark. Their main senses are smell and the detection of vibrations through the ground.
Mole tunnels aren't abandoned after use - they're maintained as permanent highways and patrol routes. Fresh molehills indicate new tunnels being dug, not regular activity in existing ones.
Moles store earthworms in underground larders - they bite the worm's head end to paralyse it without killing it, then pack hundreds into a chamber where the worms stay alive but immobile until needed.
A mole's velvet fur has no natural direction - the hairs can lie flat in either direction, allowing the mole to move forwards and backwards through tight tunnels without the fur catching.
