51 Awesome Animal Crafts for Kids

These animal crafts for kids are some of the cutest things you will ever see. Seriously, it’s so much fun to make these kids’ crafts that they remind me of Lay’s potato chips…you will not be able to stop at one. So, why even try?

To make crafting easier, all of these projects (just like all of the creations here) use the same master list of supplies. It’s like having a capsule wardrobe but for kids crafts. Once you put all of the pieces in your bag, just mix and match for the most amazing outcomes. Our list includes just 27 basic craft items that are inexpensive and versatile…many of which I promise you already have on hand. And the best part is they all fit into one bag.

We’ve been sure not to include things that are easily destroyed or take up a lot of room, like paper cups or egg cartoons. I mean, yes, they do make some totally adorable crafts, but it just doesn’t fit with our mission…which is to make crafting with your kids easy and fun…totally do-able, even when life is hectic.

So, what are you waiting for? Fill your bag so that you are ready to craft along. Then your prep is over. Filling my bag took me about 10 minutes of Amazon surfing and then another 30 minutes or so of organizing everything once the items came in. Not too shabby for hours upon hours of creative time, making memories with the kiddos. Wouldn’t you say?
