Craft Supplies:

  • Sloth Printable – on our landing page
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Crayons, Markers or Coloring Pencils
  • Paper Lunch Bag
  • Brown Craft Paint
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Plastic Fork
  • Loose Craft Glitter
  • Craft Scissors
  • Glue Stick

Directions:

  • First things first! If you haven’t already – be sure to grab the free file {listed above} and print it out on a single sheet of white cardstock paper.
  • Next grab your choice of coloring material {in a shade of brown} and color in ONE of the sloth’s head in the printable.
  • When done coloring, go ahead and trim out the head shape. Set it aside.
  • Next up – squirt a small amount of brown craft paint on the paper plate.
  • Lay the brown paper bag on a flat surface, with the flap facing up.
  • You are going to want to paint the larger side {not the flap} with the plastic fork to give the bag a “fur” texture. You can add as much or as little as you like!
  • At this point in time you can sprinkle on some gold loose craft glitter, on top of the wet paint, for even more texture for it’s fur.
  • When you are done painting, it’s time for the final step! Go ahead and glue the decorated head cutout piece from earlier, to the empty flap piece of the paper bag.
  • Finish it up by adding any other embellishments you see fit.
  • Then let your finished craft dry completely before you display the finished Paper Bag Sloth craft piece proudly or play with it like a puppet.

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!
