If your kids are into crafts (lol isn’t that basically a kid requirement?), maybe you already have no shortage of go-to ideas and inspiration. Perhaps you have a whole catalogue of DIYs to do — sourced from friends and the friendly internet alike. And it’s true that the kid craft options — from a DIY kaleidoscope to clothespin and chalk paint crafts to Mason jar projects — can seem endless. So how do you choose? Here’s a tip: Ask yourself, what do kids love even more than they love crafts? Answer: Animals. Thus, behold: the cutest and easiest animal crafts out there, so your kids can craft — and bark and squawk and roar — to their hearts’ delight.
I mean, just a quick scroll through Pinterest makes it clear that the animal craft kingdom is truly where it’s at, DIY-wise. You just can’t beat how adorable most of these cute critter projects are; they make for cute toys, decor and more. Plus, plenty of the animal craft ideas we found use readily available everyday household and food packaging items you’d normally toss out or recycle right away (think paper towel and toilet paper rolls). So why not do your DIY one better and repurpose your trash into fancy fauna works of art you’ll cherish?
Look ahead for our favorite animal crafts for kids. Lions and turtles and (koala) bears, oh my!
