Giraffes

Here is a fun, simple, and easy craft if you are teaching about animals.  We were doing a week about zoo animals and thought it would be fun to make a giraffe. I outlined a giraffe face (shape of a foot, you can actually trace the child's foot if you want) and added a long neck, on yellow paper.  I had cut up brown tissue paper, but you could have the children cut the tissue paper themselves for scissor practice.  You could also used cut pieces of brown yarn.  The kids glued the pieces along the neck of the giraffe.  Then they put their finger in brown paint and made finger prints all over the body and face for the spots.  Simple and fun!
