Yak Paper Craft

This yak is a simple cut and paste paper craft that is fun for children to make.  There is a small version (all the pieces on one piece of paper) and a large version (3 sheets of paper)
  

Materials:

  • something to colour with if using the B&W version, 
  • scissors, 
  • glue, and 
  • paper
      
  • You can use brass tacks instead of glue to attach the head, tail and legs if you want them to be moveable.

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice. 
     
  • Colour (where appropriate).
      
  • Cut out the template pieces -- parents can help cut out some of the more difficult pieces like the tail and horns while children work on the easier pieces like the body and head.
      
  • Glue the yak together in the following order:
    • glue the rounded front leg behind the body
    • glue the straight edge front leg on top of the body
    • repeat for the back legs (the back legs are shorter than the front)
    • glue the tail behind the body
    • glue the head onto the body
    • glue the horns onto the head
            
    • See picture on the template for further help
        

Templates:  

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
       
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
