Select the Right Dinosaur Mask

1
Select dinosaur masks based on what they're made of. Plastic masks are easy to clean and fairly durable, while papier mache masks are more brittle and vulnerable to moisture.

2
Keep in mind what your dinosaur masks will be used for. Plastic or rubber masks are great for regular wear because they will not break and are easy to clean. Decorative masks that are made for display only should not be worn because they are more delicate.

Read all safety guidelines closely before you select dinosaur masks. Most masks are not suitable for children under three because of their tight elastic bands, staples and potential to block airways.

Check point of delivery when ordering from sites like eBay (see Resources below). If you're ordering from an international website you'll need to budget plenty of time for shipping as well as extra cost.

Do a background check on the seller of the dinosaur mask. Top websites provide scores and feedback from other shoppers so you know who you're dealing with and how they have been rated by others. A positive score and good reputation is no guarantee that you'll get exactly what you want, but it should help you feel much more confident in your online purchase.

Check to see if the seller accepts returns and how long you have to return any item you're not completely satisfied with. You will typically have about seven days to return an item if it is not what you want.

Tips & Warnings
Try searching for masks that are one size fits all. This will prevent the unfortunate situation of ordering a mask for delivery only to discover too late that it does not fit and having to return it.
Always make sure masks have large enough eye holes for children to see easily and nose and mouth holes so that they do not have difficulty breathing. Accompany your children whenever they are wearing their masks outside of the home, especially around Halloween and near busy streets.
