Kids and grown-ups alike can be ready for playtime or a costume party in minutes thanks to a new website offering free printable masks. PrintableMasks.net has 49 masks to instantly print, cut out and wear.

"PrintableMasks.net launched this month with a wide selection of cute and clever masks," said Kevin Savetz. "Masks are the latest addition to the FreePrintable.net 'family,' and something I've wanted to do for quite some time."

There are many animal masks, including a tiger, an elephant, a funny pink bunny, a mouse, a shark, a monkey and more. There are also several fantasy-themed masks, such as unicorns displaying different moods.

Rounding out the masks is an assortment of masks of people, from a chef to a princess to a rockstar. These masks are fun for kids, but also a quick way to add humor to a party for adults.

There are two ways to use the masks: either tie them onto the face with string or affix them to a craft stick to hold in front of the face like a puppet. PrintableMasks.net has step-by-step instructions on how to make a mask.

The masks are in PDF form and can be printed from any computer.

Another option, ideal for schools, theaters or others who need lots of masks handy, is the printable masks collection, which is a convenient all-in-one download of everything at the site for $15.

There are more than 80 sites in the FreePrintable.net family of free printables sites created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company devoted to creating useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
