Today I’m sharing a mongoose craft that Lorelai made a few weeks ago. She painted him a tan color with darker stripes on his back. She also gave him her favorite kawaii eyes, haha! Mongooses are very interesting animals — read up on them here. Open & Print: Mongoose Craft Printable Instructions | Terms of […]
African Savannah Collage
We enjoyed making this savannah collage with the african animals we crafted recently. My 7 year-old was really into this. She helped draw the background, pond, and mountain, and did the majority of the coloring. We used a length of easel paper and then just taped the crafts onto the background. It turned out wonderfully!
African Savannah Animals Round-Up
The Savannah Grasslands of Africa was such a fun biome to “study” with my seven year-old daughter. She came up with the idea of making a bunch of animals from this particular area of the world, and I thought it was a great idea. We sat down and made a big list of animals with […]
Red-Billed Hornbill Printable Craft
Remember Zazu, the feisty bird from the movie The Lion King? Well, he’s a Red-Billed Hornbill, the same type of bird I’m featuring as a craft today! When coming up with a list of African Savannah animals, we chose to include this one for some variation. We have lots of mammals and needed a bird […]
Leopard Printable Craft
Another addition to our African Savannah animal list is this Leopard. This big cat has always been one of Lorelai’s favorites. When she was younger, she crafted these baby big cats (make one a leopard!) and was excited to do this adult version. She had fun with the spots and got quite creative in a […]
Gazelle Printable Craft
Continuing on with the African Savannah theme, today I’m posting the Gazelle craft we made last week. Lore (7) was really funny when she was painting these crafts. She’s usually really laid back when picking out colors to paint her animals, but she insisted on making the Savannah animals realistically colored. So that meant lots […]
Realistic Lion Printable Crafts
When coming up with a list of animals for our African Savannah unit, the lion was at the top of our list. In the past, we have made a cartoon lion craft and a paper plate lion mask, but this is the first realistic version. We decided to go for the whole family this time […]
Wildebeest Printable Craft
Lorelai and I are working hard on completing our African Savannah theme this week while she’s off of school for Spring Break. I doubt we’ll get all of the crafts up on the website in that short of time, but they will be posted soon. Today I’m sharing the Wildebeest craft I designed and she […]
Baboon Printable Craft
On our mission to do an African Savannah theme during our spring break, we came across the baboon! This cheeky (hehe) primate was fun to find and design, and Lorelai enjoyed painting & assembling him. Grab your printable copy below and check out the fun baboon facts at the bottom of this point. Enjoy! Open […]
Warthog Printable Craft
Lorelai and I are working on a new theme during spring break — the African Savannah! One of the first animals that came to mind in that category was the warthog. We recently watched Lion King and Pumba is one of the characters in that movie that we both loved. Designing and crafting this one […]
African Elephant Printable Craft
I’m happy to announce that this is the last animal in our Endangered Animals unit. I will be doing a round-up of all the crafts tomorrow! While the African elephant isn’t endangered, they are a threatened species. I thought they would be a great addition to this unit! Originally, I was just going to use […]
Meerkat Printable Craft
Lorelai recently caught a few old episodes of Meerkat Manor with my husband and has been asking for a meerkat craft ever since. She decided to paint her meerkat pink with a glittery belly. Your little one can paint his/her meerkat whichever color, of course. Print below and enjoy! Open Meerkat Printable Facts About Meerkats […]
Printable Lion Craft
Good morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Ours was really low key. The only thing notable that we did was watch a few movies and the Super Bowl. Lorelai managed to catch a cold so she’s been sneezy and wheezy all weekend and it’s still going strong. She’s in good spirits, however, and […]
