You preschooler will love wrapping the yarn and assembling the this panda craft. Get the full tutorial and free template HERE.

If you really don’t want to get out the paint for this pig craft, use crayons instead. He goes together quickly and easily. You may want to precut the ears since that can be a little challenging.

To make this craft doable in one sitting, create the popsicle stick triangle the day before so that the glue has time to dry.
