Have fun with the adorable sloth by making these super cute sloth crafts for kids! Just in time for International Sloth Day on 20th October!

Have you seen an animal that sleeps for a good part of the day, rarely sets foot on the ground, prefers hanging around and moves very, very slowly?

No, we’re not talking about teenagers! (Although I can understand why you would go there). We’re talking about something a lot cuter and a lot less hormonal – the sloth!

It’s a little unclear on how the sloth became such an internet sensation, but many attribute it to the sloths in popular animated movies. The ‘smiling’ appearance of the sloth’s facial features also adds to its charm, and this slow guy is suddenly in the spotlight.

With International Sloth Day coming up on 20th October, we think it’s the perfect time to celebrate this adorable animal, and we’ve got just the crafts for this purpose!
