A safari animal craft should look like grassland Africa — lion, giraffe, elephant, zebra — not a random mix of jungle and farm. This pack is fourteen African animal paper crafts for a geography unit, a zoo animal craft for kids, or a homeschool habitat week that needs something to build.
What's included
Zebra, hippopotamus, elephant, rhinoceros, ostrich, warthog, meerkat, cheetah, giraffe, baboon, buffalo, antelope, hyena, and lion.
Digital PDFs. Print on US Letter (A4: Fit to Page). Use white cardstock of at least 200 gsm (about 80 lb cover)—regular printer paper is too light for a standing 3D model.
Skills this set builds
Coloring markings (stripes, spots, manes) plus cutting and folding into standing figures. After glue dries: predators vs. herd animals, grassland vs. waterhole. Ages 3–6 with adult help on cutting; ages 7–10 as a more independent STEAM project. Built for elementary teachers and homeschool parents running a savannah unit.
How to use
Print lion and giraffe for a first session, or the full fourteen for a multi-day classroom safari. Color before assembly. Kraft paper makes a simple grassland backdrop.
FAQ
Is this a kit in the mail?
No. After Etsy checkout you download PDFs and print this safari animal craft yourself.
How many savannah animals are included?
Fourteen, listed above.
Can preschoolers do it alone?
Coloring, yes. Cutting and assembly need an adult at ages 3–6.
Is this the same as the jungle bundle?
No. Savannah is African grassland. Jungle is South American rainforest — keep the two displays separate for the map lesson.
What supplies besides the PDF?
Printer, scissors, glue or tape, coloring tools, and white cardstock of at least 200 gsm.
