This time of year we love to make several field trips to the local zoo, and get lots of mileage out of our annual family pass! Here are some zoo-inspired crafts to try:
If you’re lucky enough to have a fun encounter with a peacock…
… here’s an easy peacock craft using color-coding labels!
Maybe your zoo has penguins??
Here’s a silly penguin craft using foot prints!!
If your zoo has owls….
… then you absolutely must make these adorable owls from cardboard tubes!!
Lastly, one of our favorite exhibits at our zoo is the Lorikeets!!
… and this colorful bird craft is made from painted coffee filters, and looks so pretty on display in a window!
Have fun!!

How about zebras and giraffes? Our SF zoo has a fantastic exhibit where they live together. Very fun!
