Heart Flamingo
Animal crafts are always a hit if your kids are anything like mine! We basically have a zoo at this point.
Through the years, we’ve made all kinds of animals. My kids have really loved this adorable Red Fox Papercraft, Handprint Cow Papercraft, and Sloth Bookmark. My kids love playing with their animals when they’re done!
I love this Heart Flamingo because it is so versatile. Do you need a fun Valentine’s Day craft? This is perfect! Just need a fun animal craft? This is the craft for you! It’s also so simple and easy to put together that even your littlest crafters will love doing this project.
If your kids want even more animal crafts, here are a couple of our favorites. They might love making Animal Headband Crafts or Animal Paper Bag Puppet Crafts. Either way, you’re sure to have a blast crafting together!
