Make this quick and easy Y for Yak Craft using our Printable Template that’s perfect for learning about 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!

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.
