Make this quick and easy Y for Yak Craft Or Chinese Year of the Ox Craft using our Printable Template that’s perfect for learning about Chinese New Year, Tibet, cattle, bovine animals, domestic animals or the Letter Y. 

We move on to our next A to Z Alphabet Animal Craft with the Letter Y.  This craft is from our eBook – A to Z Alphabet Animal Crafts for Kids. 

There’s a Tibetan proverb that goes “Don’t notice the tiny flea in the other person’s hair and overlook the lumbering yak on your own nose.” This should give you a good idea about the size of the yak! Yaks are identified not just by their size, but also by their trademark shaggy hair and slumped posture. Learn more about this amazing creature with a fun craft!

Steps to make this Yak / Ox / Bull Craft:

Print the Craft template on an A4 or Letter Sized paper. Cut out all the parts – the dark brown head and years, the light brown nose, tufted hair and strip, and the pink nose. Cut out two tiny circles from black felt for the nostrils. Use these cutout templates as your reference points and trace onto Felt. We used a 2 mm stiff felt to make this craft. Alternately, you could use construction paper or craft foam in similar colors.

Chinese Year of the Ox Craft 

Chinese Year of the OX Craft 2021

You can vary up the colors and details to turn the same pattern from Ox to Cow, from Cow to Highland Cow, to Highland Cow to Bull, from Bull to Yak… they are broadly speaking the same sort of basic craft and colors are interchangeable.

Again, if you made it in black or brown colors, it would make a great Ox Craft too, don’t you think? Maybe add a gold nose ring too and you will be sorted for Ferdinand crafts too!

This printable Yak craft is perfect for Kids aged 5 and above and improves their fine motor skills, visual perception, and hand-eye coordination. Parents and teachers can also make these at home or in class and have their child or students assemble them independently. These crafts can be made by teachers and used as props, puppets, or even for classroom decoration.
