So who has been watching the giraffe baby watch feed?! Admit it – you are right there with me. Am I right?

Anyways – I was “slightly” inspired by April the giraffe and that’s what brought me to today’s Paper Handprint Giraffe kid craft idea!

Simply perfect for a zoo themed lesson plan or just because! Not to mention – a great keepsake as well!!! So happy crafting, my friends!!!

Paper Handprint Giraffe Supplies:

* Yellow/Black Cardstock
* Marker
* Scissors
* Thick Glue
* Brown Pom Poms
* Wiggle Eyes

Directions:

* Grab your yellow cardstock. Trace your child’s hand and arm on the yellow cardstock. Trim out and discard leftover cardstock.
* Next grab your black cardstock. Cut out TWO black circles that will be placed on the “horns” of the giraffe. Go ahead and glue them to the tips of TWO fingers.
* Now you are ready for the embellishments!!! Go ahead and glue your brown pom poms all over the handprint cutout.
* Finish off the Handprint Giraffe craft by drawing on a face and adding some wiggle eyes for it to see! Then set in an undisturbed area for it to dry completely, before displaying proudly!!!
