Moveable Animals

Category: Animal Crafts

These animals are going places! They also make good shadow puppets!

Materials:

Pencil, Scissors, Colored cardboard, Brads (paper fasteners), Hole puncher, Glue, Popsicle sticks

Instructions:

  1. Choose one animal and draw the outline of its head, body, arms, and legs separately on a piece of colored cardboard. Cut these pieces out.

  2. Make holes at the joints with a hole punch. Don't make the holes too near the edge of the cardboard because it might tear.

  3. Use brads to join the parts together.

  4. Make parts for lots of different animals.

    Variation: To make the animals into shadow puppets, glue Popsicle sticks to the back of the head and elbows. Let the legs dangle. Stand in front of a well-lit wall, move the sticks, and see the shadow of the animal move!
