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!
Feed the animals, plant veggies and learn about life on the farm with these fun and fresh farm crafts for kids! Perfect for preschoolers and primary kids.
Have you noticed that whenever we start teaching little kids about animals, we always start with pets like cats and dogs, move on to farm animals like cows and pigs and then introduce them to the jungle? I think parents across the world follow this pattern!
Maybe kids on the farm do it differently though, and we’ve decided to go the farm way too! With World Farm Animals Day on 2nd October, it’s the perfect time to celebrate these interesting and useful animals.
These crafts are perfect for the younger crowd, like preschoolers and kindergarteners. That’s not to say that older kids won’t enjoy making them! Some are educational and some are just plain fun – go ahead and choose what you like!
How cute is this Toilet Paper Roll Pig Craft? Super easy to make and perfect for little kids learning about farm animals, domestic animals or the letter P.
There are lessons you can learn from any animal in the world, no matter how big or small. For instance, look at pigs. They just love playing in the mud, and gleefully roll about in it without a care in the world. Most importantly, they certainly don’t care what the other farm animals think!
Maybe it’s time for us to learn a thing or two from pigs, given how stressed we are these days, even kids! A great first step would be to start by making some fun piggy crafts – like today’s toilet paper roll pig!
This is a super easy craft and I’m pretty sure you already have everything you need to make this lying around in your home right now. Preschoolers who are learning about animals are going to love this craft, so let them take the lead on this one!
These Sassy Snake Crafts for Kids show that you can make snakes out of pretty much anything! From paper plates, cardboard tubes, egg cartons, socks & more!
You’d think that humans, with their high intellect, opposable thumbs and numerous joints can handle most situations with ease. Yet, this grand human will run at even the mention of a snake, let alone the sight of it!
Yes, snakes, those slimy, limbless creatures can give large monsters a run for their money, but they’re an important part of our ecosystem. I’m sure most of us rarely think of snakes in that sense – we’re only concerned about the venom they pack in each bite!
And that’s exactly why we have World Snake Day, on 16th July, to appreciate these fascinating creatures who’re nature’s in-built pest control system. So let’s learn more about these sassy creatures with some sssimple and sssuper-fun snake crafts for kids!
It’s World Giraffe Day, which means it’s the perfect time to make these giraffe crafts for kids! Learn about this amazing animal by making and playing!
“Why does it take so long for a giraffe to apologize?”
“Because of the time it takes to swallow its pride.”
This is just the beginning of a whole range of giraffe jokes, obviously centered around that long neck! Do a quick search on Google and you’ll come up with enough material to keep a seven year old laughing for a while!
The long neck is just one of the features that make this unique animal so amazing – did you know that they sleep and even give birth while standing? And that sleep is achieved in 1-2 minute naps. Now that’s something your preschooler can relate to!
With so much happening in the giraffe world, we think it’s a good idea to celebrate World Giraffe Day on 21st June by learning more about these animals – with some groovy giraffe crafts for kids! Check out our list of some simple crafts that can be done faster than the time it takes for the giraffe to swallow something!

I love mixing different kinds of craft materials to make unique projects that don’t necessarily come under any category. After all, it’s the creative process that matters, right?
And don’t let the word ‘mixed-media’ scare you – it’s just a reference to using a collection of craft supplies, like we’ve done in this recycled plastic egg frog craft! We’ve recycled a plastic egg and added some pom poms, googly eyes and craft paper to the mix to create an adorable little froggy!
This craft can come in handy when teaching kids about aquatic animals or amphibians. Create a little frog habitat for the little guy to live in, and you have everything you need for a complete biology lesson!

You’ll find it hard to resist the collective cuteness of these adorable squirrel crafts for kids! Make them with paper, felt, play doh or even an old glove!
Squirrels are undoubtedly cute, but they are just as pesky to catch! And I don’t mean physically catch with your hands, even trying to spot them is a task with all that scurrying up and down!

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a hedgehog? Pretty sure it’s all those spines you’re thinking of, and you can almost feel them prick!

What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.
As kids, we learn about the various continents and oceans, their names and geographical positions. But an ocean is so much more than just a name! It’s an entire world out there, with all kinds of creatures that we know of and many that are still unknown.
However, besides those naturally occurring ocean creatures, new stuff has begun to appear in the water. Plastic bags, bottles and all kinds of trash are now crowding our beautiful oceans, and the main casualties are the poor creatures that depend upon it for survival.
The problem has become huge, and it’s not something that can be ignored. If you’re wondering how you can help, here are some tips. Cut down on your plastic usage and recycle rather than throwing away. Educate your kids about the same and teach them how all this carelessly flung away trash is endangering lives.
Kids may be able to absorb the message better if they know who exactly we’re hurting by polluting our oceans. And that’s why we’ve got together some easy ocean crafts for kids, based on different ocean creatures – whales, sharks, crabs, octopuses and many more! And we’ve peppered the crafts with some fun facts, which will hopefully encourage them to learn more!
