"OK, so I missed these were made out of paper (the pictures make them look like thin plastic). Also, the photos make it appear that there is some kind of definition/roundness to the edges of the masks. These are flat paper masks that have to be "folded" in the middle to fit over a kids face, and they are VERY large for children. The strings can be tied tighter in the back to stay on, but I'm wondering if any of the kids will be able to see when they are "play" jousting at our party!"
