Age: 5-10's
Level: Easy

Materials

2 cardboard tubes
Paint
A4 paper and / or card
Glue
Scissors
Black marker
String or yarn

Method

basecoat

Basecoat cardboard tubes and cut them in half as shown in the photo.

Paint tubes in main colours for the animal bodies

Paint animal bodies in their main colours.

While you're waiting for the paint to dry, print out the downloads.

Glue the animal pieces to cardboard, then cut them out (or just print on card).

Animal markings applied with black marker

Draw on the animal markings with a black marker for the leopard and tiger. The leopard markings are like the letter 'C' and the tiger just needs a few stripes.

String for the tail

Roll a few lengths of string for the tail and knot at one end.

Attach tail to hind piece

Make a hole in the hind piece, thread string through and knot so it stays in place.

Jungle Critters from the back

Glue the cardboard tubes to the animal front and backs.
