The Secret Fawn Activities

Fawn Mask

For the book launch of The Secret Fawn, Elly Mackay made this fawn mask. Perhaps your little one wants to play dress up too? They can colour their own or you can print one already coloured.

Save and print the image or download the PDF you’d like. It is best to print it on cardstock (8.5 x 11 inch). You may want to print it slightly smaller for little kids. This one when printed -fit to page, fits an adult.

Cut out all shapes, including eye holes (tricky). You may need to adjust the spacing for your child.

To make the ears, fold the bottom edges in and staple or glue. Then attach them to the upper sides of the mask with staples or glue. Antlers are optional of course.

You can attach a stick to the mask with tape and hold it up. Or you can attach ribbons or pipe cleaners to the back.

Tunnel Book

Elly Mackay loves tunnel books. It is what got her started. They can be tricky to make though. This design is nice for its simplicity. You just need one piece of paper (any size), some scissors and something to draw with.

Fold the paper into 8 sections (Fold each direction and then in half.)
Cut along the middle until you reach the last section (where my finger is pointing).
Cut away 2 sections on one side.
Fold the long side up like an accordion.
In the first three sections of the accordion, cut jagged holes. The first one should be largest, then a bit smaller and then smaller still.

Fold the long side down. Then fold the accordion in.
Draw your fawn in the middle of the holes. You can lift it to better see.
Colour the facing pages.
You can write on the left but also under the tunnel! Do you have a secret to share?
Design the front of your card too!
