Who doesn’t love the circus? Celebrate World Circus Day on 20th April with a cute Paper Clown Craft for Kids – with a free printable template!

What are the basic essentials for a kid’s birthday party? The cake, balloons, presents and of course – a funny clown! There’s nothing like a clown with a big red nose and colorful hair to put the life into a boring party and make sure the kids leave with good memories.

But of course, the clown’s proper spot is not the party – it’s the circus! That’s why, this World Circus Day on 20th April, we’ve decided to make our very own paper clown puppet, so you can create your own circus right at home!

This is a very easy craft where all you need is a stack of colored craft paper, scissors and glue. This craft is great for cutting practice and younger kids can help glue the parts together.

    This clown is so adorable….I think if you add a Popsicle stick to the back the kids can use it as a puppet.
    It would be fun to make different colors for the hair and body and different hair styles to see what they come up with….
