There are so many reasons why Curious George has stood the test of time. First of all, he’s adorable. And he just really brings out the child in all of us with his curious nature and knack for getting into mischief. This Curious George craft is fun and simple to make with the free printable craft template. And we’ve included the big yellow hat, but you can change that up and make Curious George with accessories that act out your favorite story.

It’s that simple.

Curious George Craft Instructions

Step 1: Paint

Lay out a piece of newspaper to control the mess
Place your paper plate on the newspaper, bottom side up, and squeeze out some brown paint
Pin your pompom with the clothespin to form your “paint brush”
Paint the bottom of your paper plate brown. This may take a couple of coats for good coverage.
Give the paint some time to dry.

Step 2: Use the Printable Craft Template

Print the craft template to make this step easier.
Cut the hat out of yellow construction paper. (I also cut a black band for the hat out of a scrap of paper.)
Now cut his ears out of brown construction paper.
Last, cut the center of his face and ears out of a tan or flesh-toned construction paper.

Step 3: Glue It

Use your glue stick to add the band to your yellow hat (optional)
Then glue the centers of the monkey’s ears in place.

Step 4: Draw the Curious George Smile

The key to making this monkey look like Curious George is the big smile. Use a black marker to add this detail to the cut out face.
Then draw on his nose.
Last, put the large googly eyes in place. *Notice that they are spaced rather wide apart.

Step 5: Put Together Your Curious George Craft

Now it’s time to put it all together.
Once the paint has dried, attach the cut out face of Curious George to the paper plate.
Also glue on the ears and the hat.
Give the glue a minute to set up before playing with your creation.

Now that you know how to make Curious George, what will you do next? Maybe make some friends for him so that you can use your imagination and tell some stories.
