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!

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

Popsicle Stick Giraffe Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks{one per giraffe craft}
* Mini Popsicle Sticks {three per giraffe craft}
* Black/Yellow Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* School Glue
* Scissors
* Black Cardstock
* Wiggle Eyes

Directions:

* Grab your popsicle sticks {one jumbo and three mini} Glue them together {using my picture as example} to look like the neck and head of the giraffe. Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each puppet you want to make.
* Next grab your craft paint. Go ahead and paint your popsicle stick shape completely yellow. Once done, using the other end of the paint brush, drawing on little black dots all over your painted piece. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Now you are ready for the giraffe horns. Grab your black cardstock and cut out some small horns for the top of the craft.
* Finish off the Popsicle Stick Giraffe craft by gluing on your wiggle eye and cardstock piece. Then set in an undisturbed area for it to dry completely, before displaying/playing with proudly!!!
