Directions

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

Paint a paper plate in 1-2 thin coats of brown or tan paint and let dry completely.

Place the llama head template on the dried paper plate, trace, and cut it out. Trace the outer ear template on the scraps of the painted paper plate and cut out. You can also use similar colored paper to trace and cut out the outer ears.

Glue the eyes near the middle of the paper plate, one on each side of the head.

Position the mouth and nose piece in between the eyes and glue it slightly overlapping the bottom of the eyes.

Place the cheeks on the outside of the eyes and glue them in place.

Glue the pink inner ears in the middle of the outer ears, then flip the paper plate over and tape the completed ears to the top and back of the llama’s head.

Flip the llama head back over and use a brown marker to draw on fluff marks all over the head.

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!

The Cow Said Neigh! is a fun and silly book about farm animals who wish they were another farm animal. Kids will enjoy the rhyming and learn that each of us (animals included) has strengths we should embrace.
