Directions
Start by downloading and printing the template. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this moose to life!
Begin by grabbing the mouth/nose piece. Help your child glue it in the center of the moose’s lower face.
Next, grab the eyes and glue them just below the eyebrows.
Time to add some cuteness! Glue the small cheeks on each side of the nose, just below the eyes, to give your moose a sweet and friendly expression.
Now grab the inner ear pieces. Have your child glue each one inside the moose’s ears. It’s a small detail, but it really completes the look!
Help your child glue the antlers behind the top of the moose’s head.
Take the extender strips and tape or glue one to each end of the moose’s headband base. These make it adjustable for any head size.
Finally, wrap the headband around your child’s head to size it. Then tape or staple the final side to complete the circle. Now you’ve got an adorable moose headband ready to wear!
Isn’t this little moose the cutest? With its big antlers and rosy cheeks, it’s such a fun winter craft to make and wear. Don’t forget to check out more of our easy winter crafts for kids while you’re here!
