This product is used by art students to create personal mask projects. The ease of creating a mask utilizing this tool is really great. I wish the size of the face forms were a bit larger. Otherwise, this is a great product.

I have used these mask forms for about 12 years in a K-5 art room. As another reviewer said, they are smaller than a child's face, but I see that as a safety feature. If they were a perfect fit, they could possibly be a suffocation hazard because the face is solid and has no nose or mouth holes and kids like to hold the forms up to their face. (Yes, 12 years of elementary art has made me hyper-aware of every strange and seemingly-impossible accident waiting to happen.)

I've only used them with paper-mache with kids. Students get better detail and a smoother surface if the paper-mache is pressed into the form rather than pressed onto the form. Once the paper-mache dries, it pops out of the form easily so the form can be reused again for years to come. The final mask can have eyes and nostrils cut into them, but mostly we hang ours on the wall for display so holes aren't necessary.

For my own art, I have pressed clay into the forms but the plastic is a little too flexible for that to be successful with elementary students. Older students might be able to make them work though.

These masks forms are VERY small. They would work for children under 10, but older than that the masks are not going to cover their faces. I was very disappointed when these arrived and were so small.
