- Crayons or markers (if using the color in version)

Directions
Download the giraffe template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
Take the nose and mouth piece and glue it to the bottom of the giraffe’s head.
Next, take the eyes and glue them just above the nose, in the middle of the head.
Place a few spots above the eyes and glue them in place.
Place the cheeks on either side of the mouth and glue them in place.
Create the ossicones by gluing the brown circle to the top of the ossicone base. Next, glue these to the top and back of the giraffe head.
Place the completed giraffe head to the top of the neck and glue it in place, then add the spots to the giraffe’s neck.
Glue the completed giraffe to an extender. We also taped it to the back of the neck for extra strength.
Tape a headband extender to each side of the base to finish up this craft.
