Welcome to our Endangered Animals unit round-up page, where you will find animals categorized alphabetically from A-Z. There were some letters that didn’t have an endangered animal, so I filled those in with animals from the Threatened or Vulnerable categories. Definition of an endangered animal: An endangered species is a population of organisms which is […]
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 […]
Grizzly Bear Printable Craft
Oh he looks surprised and nonplussed all at the same time. =) This is the grizzly bear craft Lorelai painted last week and I am just now getting around to blogging. I swore I was done with the Endangered Animals unit, but it looks like I missed a couple. =) We did a cartoon-y bear […]
Tiger Printable Craft
I said last week that we were finished with our Endangered Animals unit, but I was wrong. I decided to re-make a few crafts because the originals were cartoon-y and Lore had forgotten about everything we had learned. The tiger was one of those. We did the baby tiger cub & tightrope tiger ages ago […]
Woolly Mammoth Printable Craft
This woolly mammoth craft came right on the heels of our Endangered Animals unit. Though woolly mammoths are extinct, this was still a fun animal to learn about. Lorelai was overjoyed to see this printable waiting for her a while back. She loves the Ice Age animated movie series so this one was just perfect […]
Cheetah Mask Craft
Last week, we crafted this printable cheetah craft and Lore & I both loved how it turned out. When Lorelai asked to do a craft after dinner last night, I threw out the idea of a paper plate mask. She jumped all over the idea and asked to make another cheetah. The materials for this […]
Water Buffalo Printable Craft
As a part of our Endangered Animals unit, we crafted a water buffalo. This large bovine is called ‘Billy’ and is currently clipped to our learning board. =) I think Lore did a great job on him! Print below! Open Water Buffalo Printable Facts About Water Buffaloes Water buffaloes are an endangered species. They stand […]
Zebra Shark Printable Craft
When searching for animals for our Endangered Animals unit, I came across the zebra shark. Though the zebra shark is Threatened and not Endangered, I thought it would be a good addition to the unit. Lorelai was a bit surprised that the ZEBRA shark has spots and not stripes. That’s when I informed her that […]
Indri Printable Craft
The Indri, a large species of lemur, is an endangered animal that is found only on the secluded island of Madagascar. We did a lemur craft at the beginning of this year, and Lore was happy to re-visit it in a roundabout way. We learned all about indris and looked at a ton of pictures […]
Vaquita Printable Craft
When researching different endangered animals for our Endangered Animals Unit, I came across the rare Vaquita. The vaquita also happens to be the National Marine Animal of Mexico — which fits in with our Around the World Series: Mexico as well! Anyway, the Vaquita is a very small cetacean that only grows to be 5-feet […]
Umbrella Bird Printable Craft
As a part of our Endangered Animals unit, we did this cute Umbrella Bird craft. Though the Umbrella Bird is not endangered, their numbers are unfortunately currently classified as ‘vulnerable’. Lorelai, my 5.5 year-old, is obsessed with animals of all kinds, so she was happy to get to paint this “cool” bird. She chose to […]
Asiatic Wild Dog (Dhole) Printable Craft
A couple weeks ago, we did a very cute African Wild Dog craft for our Endangered Animals unit. When researching endangered animals, I came across the Dhole, also known as the Asiatic Wild Dog. Lorelai happily painted the pup a reddish brown and chose to give him googly eyes. She did a great job cutting […]
Cheetah Printable Craft
Cheetahs are such incredible animals. I was a bit hesitant to make another big cat craft right after posting the mountain lion craft. However, since its protective status is ‘vulnerable’ and we are learning about endangered species and the like, I decided to go for it. The craft itself is a running cheetah; If you […]
Numbat Printable Craft
As a part of our endangered animals unit, Lorelai – my animal-obsessed five-year-old – crafted this numbat. I think she did a great job! She really took her time painting him. Print below and enjoy! Open Numbat Printable Facts About Numbats Numbats are marsupials (pouched animal) that live in Western Australia. Numbats are an endangered […]
Quetzal Printable Craft
The Quetzal is another species of our Endangered Animals unit. Though they aren’t endangered, they are threatened. Neither Lorelai, my animal-obsessed 5-year-old, or I had heard of a quetzal before seeing it on an endangered/threatened animals list. We googled it and were amazed by how beautiful this bird is! It’s vibrantly colored with extremely long […]
African Wild Dog Printable Craft
Of all the endangered animals we have crafted lately, this african wild dog is one my favorites. I love the different colors of its coat and how Lorelai really took her time in creating that dappled effect. As you can see, I made the legs a bit longer so that we could use the brad […]
Orangutan Printable Craft
Meet Rango, our sweet baby orangutan craft! Lorelai named him Rango after she was finished gluing him together. She was so pleased that I made a baby and not an adult. I’ll have to make more infants in the future – she really was pleased! I did most of the cutting on this one (as […]
Yak Printable Craft
Next up in our Endangered Animals series is the yak. I designed this printable a bit differently than normally – the legs are all attached to the body piece. There wasn’t enough room with his (or her) massive body to leave them separate. It was a nice change, not having to cut out 10 different […]
Mountain Lion Printable Craft
Mountain Lions (also known as cougars, pumas, and catamounts) are beautiful, large cats that are found all over the Americas. Lorelai, my animal-obsessed 5 year-old, asked me to make a printable after seeing one in her animal encyclopedia. It had been on my list of crafts to design for a while, so I jumped right […]
Printable Manatee Craft
Lorelai and I were watching another episode of National Geographic’s North America series and saw these adorable marine animals and just had to make a craft of them! Lorelai was excited to have another sea animal to add to our underwater collage, but I’ll blog more about that soon. The craft itself is very simple […]
