Everyone loves llamas, right? They’re fluffy and adorable! Just don’t get one mad or they might just spit on you!
Spitting aside, we think this llama headband craft is a fun and easy farm animal craft for kids to make.
You can print out the template in black and white for young kids to color in or you can print out the craft version for older kids to make themselves.
Either way, they’ll love wearing their new creation!
Watch our quick video tutorial below to see how we made it and be sure to download the free printable template!

Directions
Download the llama template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
Begin to assemble the face by gluing the eyes near the middle of the head.
Take the nose and mouth and glue them in between and slightly overlapping the bottom of the eyes.
Place the cheeks on either side of the outside of the eyes and glue them in place.
Next, glue the inner ears to the outer ears.
Finish off the face by using a dark brown marker or crayon to draw on scalloped lines to look like fur.
Tape or staple an extender on each side of the headband base.
We love how this llama craft turned out!
Also, if the craft is too detailed for your child, don’t forget we have a black and white version that kids can color in instead!
Mr.s Wishy-Washy’s Farm is a classic farm animal books for kids. In this story, the animals revolt against Mrs. Wishy-Washy’s baths and leave the farm. You have to read the story to find out what crazy shenanigans the animals run into after they leave the farm!
Little Blue Truck is one of the most popular books in our house. The cool illustrations and rhyming words really make this story fun to read. And with a whole series after this one, kids love getting to know the characters more and more!
