Directions:

  • First things first. We are going to print the FREE file listed above. One print will make TWO llama friends today.
  • Now we are going to use our choice of coloring medium to color in the two llamas. Add as much or as little color as you like to really customize it.
  • Go ahead and also draw on a nose/mouth, as well as gluing on the wiggle eyes for your llamas to see.
  • Once done decorating the two pieces, use scissors to trim out each shape.
  • Before you discard the excess white cardstock paper, cut out TWO legs for each llama.
  • Use your black Sharpie marker to draw on hooves on the “legs” if you like.
  • Set aside your paper pieces.
  • Now grab your small paper plate, the scissors and again, choice of coloring medium.
  • Cut your paper plate in equal halves. Straight up the center to make two.
  • Now you have TWO pieces that will be the bodies of the llamas. Go ahead and color in a half circle “blanket” on each.
  • When done decorating the paper plate pieces, grab your stapler and the paper cutouts from earlier.
  • Go ahead and staple each llama head to their paper plate body.
  • Follow that up with the legs.
  • At this point you can also add other embellishments {like fun stickers, glitter, rhinestones} that you see fit to really make it your own.
  • Then display your custom paper llama masterpiece proudly for all to see!
