Moose Paper Craft

Contributed by Leanne Guenther

This moose is a simple cut and paste paper craft that is fun for young children to make.  It makes a great project for preschool and kindergarten kids and works well for an animals, Canada or letter M theme.

Materials:

• something to color with if using the B&W version,
• scissors,
• glue,
• paper,
• You can use brass tacks ("brads") instead of glue to attach the head or arms if you want them to be moveable.

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice.
• Color (where appropriate).
• Cut out the template pieces -- parents can help cut out some of the more difficult pieces like the hair while children work on the easier pieces like the body and head.
• Glue the moose together in the following order:
   
  • feet onto the bottom of the large oval
    • one front and one back on the front of the body
    • one front and one back behind the body
  • Glue the antlers onto the head
  • Glue the head onto the body
  • Glue the ears onto the head
  • Glue the hair onto the head
  • Glue the tail onto the back of the body
  • See picture above 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).
