Free Animal Crafts for Kids From All the Animal Kingdom

We have some more fun and free animal crafts for kids. The theme for these free crafts is all things furry and cute… Animals!

Not only is the animal kingdom full of fun and interesting looking creatures, its also an aspect of our world and daily lives.

It is important to learn about the different creatures you can encounter around our planet.

All kids have a lot of interest in some, or all, animals. With that in mind, what is more fun than animal crafts!

These can be just for fun, or add some education to them and use these in school!

I basically have some crafts featuring every animal you can think of!

Many of these use free craft supplies such as paper plates, pipe cleaners
