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 fasteners ("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
- feet onto the bottom of the large oval
