Our printable weasel mask captures that long, slinky body, bright eyes and alert, whiskery face that make the weasel such a compelling woodland character. Perfect for British wildlife school plays, woodland habitat classroom projects, World Book Day, birthday parties, and lightning-quick imaginative play.

The weasel is one of those animals that genuinely surprises children - small enough to fit in a jacket pocket, yet capable of tackling rabbits many times its own size. A brilliant mask for discussions about predator adaptations and British countryside wildlife. Every mask comes with a full colour version AND a black and white line art version for colouring in.

5 Interesting Facts About Weasels!

The weasel is Britain's smallest carnivore - adults weigh as little as 25 grams, barely more than a large grape, yet they regularly hunt and kill rabbits weighing over 1kg, more than 40 times their own body weight.
They can pursue prey down their own burrows - their extraordinarily slender, flexible body allows them to chase mice and voles through their tunnels, giving the prey nowhere to hide.
Weasels have an extremely high metabolic rate - they must eat around a third of their body weight every day just to survive, which means almost constant hunting throughout daylight hours.
They perform a hypnotic 'war dance' to confuse prey - a seemingly frantic sequence of leaps, rolls and twists that disorients rabbits and birds, bringing them close enough to strike.
A weasel can be distinguished from a stoat by its tail - weasels have short, plain brown tails while stoats have longer tails with a distinctive black tip, a reliable field identification feature.
