13 Animal Art And Crafts For Kids

Animal art and craft for kids is a fun way to make an animal friend. Follow the instructions below to learn how to make an adorable goat, tiger, elephant, pig, baboon, and other animals.

Animal art and crafts for kids are creative projects that use animal-themed materials to make art, decorations, and toys. Kids can learn about different animals while they create their projects, and they can have fun using their imaginations to make their own animal creations.

Rainbow Fish

Here, you will learn how to make rainbow fish. You can use this craft for decorating your aquarium or as an art project for your kids. 

It is easy and fun to make. The steps are:

• Step 1 

Cut out strips of paper in different colors and fold them into strips of different widths. Then glue the strips onto a piece of cardboard to form a rainbow fish shape.

• Step 2 

Use black and white paint or markers to draw a pattern on the eyes of your rainbow fish (you may also use stickers).

Goat

Goats are the most popular animal in the world and for good reason. They’re cute, intelligent, and have been used for milk, meat, wool, and leather since ancient times. 

The same is true today: goats are still commonly used for their milk in many countries around the globe (including ones such as Kenya). But that’s not all they provide—goats also give us companionship!

If you want your child to learn more about these amazing animals that we depend on so much, here are some craft ideas they can try out with their friends or at home:

Baboon

Baboon is a name used to refer to several old world monkeys that are found in Africa. 

They are mostly herbivorous, but they will sometimes eat small animals as well. They live in groups and are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and animals.

These animals do not have any special powers or abilities except for being able to climb trees really well!

Lion

Lion is a big cat in the genus Panthera and a member of the family Felidae.

• It is the second-largest living cat after the tiger.
• Lions live on all continents except Antarctica.

Crocodile

For this craft, you will need the following materials.

• Paper
• Glue
• Pencil

A pair of scissors or a craft knife (if you are using construction paper)

Cow

You can make a cow using colorful wool and black and white felt.

Cut out two ears, one mouth, and one eye from the black felt. Make a small hole at the top of each ear to thread through an elastic band.

Cut out a body shape from the colourful wool fabric and two arms from the white felt (elastic bands should be attached to these).

Sew on some buttons for eyes or use googly eyes instead if you prefer! Use a hot glue gun to attach pieces of yarn around each leg so they look furry!

Frog

Use a green paper to make an outline of the frog’s face and body.

Cut out the outline with scissors or a craft knife, then cut out four circles for eyes and one small triangle for the nose.

Carefully cut around each eye circle to leave two halves which you can fold inwards towards each other before gluing together into a pair of eyes, while also folding down one leg at its base (where it meets with the body), which you then glue together along its length to create four legs on your frog!

Dog House

Materials needed.

• a piece of paper for the house shape and for making the dog’s ears, nose, mouth and eyes
• crayons or paint to decorate your doghouse with

How to make it.

Draw the outline of your dog’s head on one side of your paper, then cut out that shape. Draw an upside-down triangle shape in between each ear and cut those pieces out too. Now you have 2 ears and 1 snout!

Put glue at the bottom tip of one earpiece (the part without a point), then stick that down onto another piece of paper so that only half of it sticks up above where they meet—this will be like when a dog has its head tilted back while sniffing something interesting in front of him/herself! Repeat with both ears so they look even more realistic!

Use scissors to cut both ends off each side near where they meet up at their bases (where there was no glue). Then use more glue along those edges so everything stays together nicely; this will keep them from moving around when you move your project around later on! Lastly, add some eyes below each pointy end if desired (a simple circle will suffice)!
