Print This Craft

From the time children are able to make sounds they mimic forest animals. Now they can make up their own plays with these Easy Forest Animals that they make themselves. We’ve provided patterns in both black and white and color.  The supplies are very available and inexpensive so making a whole forest full of these fun critters is doable. After they make their favorite animal, you’ll be amazed at what their imagination dreams up for play acting.

Trivia:
