Zoo crafts

ZOO is the most loved place that every child wants to visit and kids’ affection for animals is obvious. Making animal crafts is all time favorite and I think I have not met any child till date who doesn’t like animals – be it wild or domestic or farm animals.

Animal crafts offer so much variety and easy to make with paper or paper plates or tissue rolls or cardboard boxes Or just handprint and footprint. And we have tried a lot of them. One can practically create crafts with all the zoo animals.

Since we cant go to the zoo at the moment, let’s make craft a zoo craft at home.

Absolutely easy to make a paper zoo and super fun.
