This fun and easy craft is perfect for kids of all ages! With just a few simple materials, you can create a camel that’s perfect for desert-themed crafts or as a learning tool for teaching the animal kingdom.
Camel Craft Idea For Kids
You typically see them in the desert but I thought maybe they should make an appearance on Glued To My Crafts as well!
Inspired by my husband {yes – my husband has been deployed where seeing camels on a daily occurrence is pretty normal} I present to you MY version of a camel made from craft sticks, cardstock paper and our FREE camel head printable that you will find below.
I’ve checked the internet and this idea is completely unique to us & I hope you are inspired to recreate it with your little one today! Perhaps you could even pair it with a learning lesson, story time or maybe even the holidays. The choice is yours and I hope you have a grand time doing it! Happy crafting my friends!
