Taking kids to the farm is such a fun family experience! If you have a local farm nearby, we highly recommend going!

They’ll not only enjoy seeing all the animals, but they’ll also be outside in fresh air and learn about the different animals that live on the farm.

Once you’re done with your field trip, try making this cow headband craft. It’s an easy farm animal craft for kids that they’ll enjoy wearing!

Make it at home or at school. It’s great for toddlers, preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary aged children.

Cow Craft For Kids

Supplies

• Colored cardstock
• Scissors
• Glue
• Tape or staples
• Markers (if using the color in version)
• Cow template (enter your email in the form at the end of this post to have the link sent to you)

Directions

Download the cow template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.

Begin to make the cow’s face by gluing the large spot somewhere on the cow’s head. If any paper hangs off the cow’s head, trim it off with scissors.

Position the eyes in the middle of the head and glue them in place.

Next, place the nose/mouth piece so that it’s slightly overlapping the bottom of the cow’s eyes. Glue them in place.

Glue the cheeks on both sides of the mouth piece, just below the nostrils.

Place the inner ears in the middle of the outer ears and glue them in place.

Optionally: Glue the other two spots on the headband base and trim off the excess paper.

Finish off the headband by taping the extenders to both sides of the headband base.
