Too, I’m sharing a fun zebra papercraft with a free template that you download at the bottom. Also, look at my Free Africa Unit Study for more hands-on ideas.
Paper crafts encourage kids to think outside the box.
And one of my favorite things about paper crafts for kindergarten is that fine motor skills are strengthened in a fun way.
So any paper or paper scrap can be turned into beautiful artwork that stirs the imagination. In addition, kids learn to follow steps and paper crafts build confidence.
Besides, paper crafts can create lasting keepsakes.
KIDS BOOKS ABOUT ZEBRAS
Next, look at these books about zebras which may become your children’s favorites too.
5 Zebra Books
Zebras can be fun to learn about. Add one of these books to your reading day.
When a herd of zebras flees from a hungry lioness, Shanti can't keep up with the others and is soon left behind. Desperately looking for her friends, she asks the other animals for help. But a mysterious old snake makes a strange prediction.
Zella the zebra helps Zack the ostrich when he is young and helpless. When he grows up Zack returns the favor by saving Zella's young offspring from a lion.
Zebras are one of Africa's most interesting animals, and in this pre-reader, young readers will learn all about here they live, what they eat, and how they survive in the herd. Perfect for beginning and young readers, National Geographic Pre-readers include simple, expert-vetted text and large, engaging photos on every page. A vocabulary tree at the beginning of the book introduces kids to key words in concept groups, helping them make connections between words. Plus, a wrap-up activity gives kids a chance to use what they've learned, while expanding their knowledge of the world.
Zee brews a pot of coffee to wake his parents so he can climb into bed with them, but after spilling two full mugs he has too little coffee left to do the job unless he can think of a new plan.
The craft I’m showing you today is an adorable zebra but first look at these other paper crafts.
