Today my daughter and I made this adorable paper bag giraffe craft inspired by Greedy Steve. It makes a great book-based craft and kids can use their craft as a puppet and put on their own giraffe puppet show.This is super easy and cute craft
Supplies Needed:
- paper lunch bag
- yellow and brown paint
- paintbrush
- clothespin
- large pom-pom
- brown, yellow and tan cardstock
- googly eyes
- black marker
- scissors
- glue
- paper plate
Instructions:
1. Paint your paper bag
Start by painting the front of your paper bag with your yellow paint. Let the paint dry completely.
2. Make a brown dots
Pour a small amount of brown paint on your paper plate. Close your clothespin around your large pom-pom to make it a paintbrush. Dab the pom-pom into the brown paint and then press it onto your paper bag to make giraffe spots.
3. Cut out face shapes
While your paint dries, cut out giraffe ears from your yellow cardstock, horns from your tan cardstock and a muzzle from your brown cardstock. We chose to paint the tips of our horns with our brown paint but that is completely optional.
4. Draw mouth & glue eyes
Draw a mouth and nostrils onto your muzzle with your black marker. Then glue it onto your paper bag. Now finish your paper bag giraffe craft by gluing on your googly eyes, ears and horns.
