Yak Headband Craft For Kids

Do you know what a yak is? I know it is one of the very few animals that start with the letter “Y”. Learning some fun facts about these strange animals can be even more fun when making an animal headband.

Yak are actually related to cattle and are found in cold climates around the world. They are mainly used for their fur, meat, and milk.

Yak are able to tolerate high altitudes and can live in very harsh conditions. They are also considered sacred animals in some cultures.

Did you know that yak can run up to 40 miles per hour? Or that they sometimes spit at predators to scare them away?

Encouraging learning through hands-on activities can really help make learning more fun for all those involved.

This craft is so easy to make with our simple instructions and printable template. This also means less mess, but just as much fun. All you have to do is print, color, and cut! So simple!
