Popsicle Stick Giraffe - Kid Craft Puppet

So who has been keeping an eye on the giraffe baby watch feed?!

Seriously – by the time she has her baby, I’ll have a baby AND I have NO intentions of having a baby! Am I right?! Hopefully “maybe” my post will inspire that little cutie to come today! Fingers crossed!

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

It’s simply perfect for a zoo themed lesson plan or just because you want to pass the time. Not to mention – it’s great for a pretend piece as well! So enough chit chat from me, all the supplies and directions are in the full tutorial below!

Happy crafting my friends!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished Craft Stick Giraffe Friend on our Facebook page! I can’t wait to see what you make! #gluedtomycrafts
