When European scientists first saw a platypus specimen, they thought it was a hoax - a beaver's body, a duck's bill, an otter's feet and a venomous spur on the ankle. Our printable platypus mask is just as brilliantly bizarre as the animal itself! Perfect for Australian animals school plays, amazing animals classroom projects, World Book Day, birthday parties, and wonderfully weird imaginative play.

Every classroom conversation about it ends with genuinely stunned children. Every mask comes with a full colour version AND a black and white line art version for colouring in.
