Amazing Animals

Run! Gallop! Fly! These colorful 3-D animals, made with recycled file folders, seem almost real. Make---and take---them anywhere you go.

1. Here’s an easy way to make 3-D animals. You’ll want to create flocks or herds of them to fill your own zoo, barnyard, or rainforest.

2. Open a file folder. Outline an animal so the fold is the middle of its back with a Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencil. Draw the creature all sprawled out. Remember, you can erase, just in case!,

3. Color the animal with your Crayola Crayons. Add lots of color and detail. Mix colors to make realistic fur. Press hard to get brilliant bird feathers.

4. Use Crayola Scissors to cut out your animal. Fold the legs, neck, or tail to give it a natural appearance.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

"Our kids have played with their ocean creatures for days!"
Rose W., after-school care provider.  

"The boys each made a replica of an animal that they heard or saw (or wished they had!) while we were camping."
Dan T., scout leader.

Animals really are amazing. A typical cow, for instance, will give approximately 200,00 glasses of milk in a lifetime. All cows have four stomachs (but that’s not where they keep the milk!).
