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 fasteners. Lorelai has been using them on every project she can; she loves being able to move the legs! Anyway, you can print this free craft below, check out the fun facts, and watch a video about African Wild Dogs. Enjoy!
