Tissue Paper & Paper Plate Giraffe - Kid Craft Idea

Giraffe Craft Idea 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 yellow 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 by tagging us on Instagram for us to see from! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
