Tissue Paper & Paper Plate Giraffe

Tissue Paper & Paper Plate Giraffe - Kid Craft Idea

Paper Plate Giraffe Craft For Kids

Inspired by the book Laughing Giraffe by Mwenye Hadithi, today I present to you our yellow giraffe story time kid craft idea!

In the days long ago, Giraffe was the noisiest animal on the Great African Plain. He shouted a lot and he laughed all the time. This is the story of how the littlest Egret proved to Laughing Giraffe that you don’t need to be loud to be heard.

So whether you decide to make this fun DIY idea in honor of the book mentioned above, a safari themed school week or just because – I hope our simple craft idea inspires YOU! You can find all the details and supply list, listed below in our super straight-forward giraffe craft tutorial!

Happy crafting my friends!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished Tissue Paper and Paper Plate Giraffe Friend on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
