Easy Animal Cutouts

Why

Kids create all creatures great and small—and in between—with these Easy Animal Cutouts. Line them up two by two for an instant zoo, museum, or farm!


Steps

1. Fold two pieces of white construction paper in half. With Crayola® Crayons draw your animal's body and legs on one piece and its head on the other. Cut out around the animal parts with Crayola Scissors, leaving most of the folds uncut. Cut paper strips for the animal's tail or horns out of the leftover paper.

2. Color the other side of your animal and draw eyes and a mouth on the face.

3. Glue the pieces together with a Crayola Glue Stick. Dry. Your two-sided animal can stand up.

Safety Guidelines

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.
