Giraffe is the smallest animal in the world. Some of them can be 6 metres tall. Giraffe’s coat looks very beautiful and unusual. There are dark-brown patches on light hair. Every giraffe has its own unique pattern. There are no two absolutely identical specimens.

Crocodile is a predatory animal. Some crocodiles can be up to 5 metres long and live up to 80-100 years. Most of their time crocodiles spend in the tree. Their eyes and nostrils are located right on the top of their head. This allows them to hide under water. Crocodile has 4 short legs and a long tail. When a crocodile swims it moves with its tail from one side to another. Crocodiles have very sharp teeth. Their senses of hearing and vision are well-developed. Even though most of their time crocodiles spend in water, they feel comfortable on land too.

How to make bunny finger puppets

These cute little finger puppets are an easy sewing project the kids can try: no sewing machine required.

 

Print out the bunny finger puppets template.

You will need two bunny shapes per finger puppet.

Fold the felt sheet in half and pin one bunny shape to the top. Cut two bunny shapes out of the felt.

Now take the top layer and sew on two buttons for eyes.

Use a lead pencil to mark the bunny’s mouth and then sew the mouth with black thread.

Now thread your needle with pink cotton. Lay the two shapes one on top of the other, as they will be when finished (i.e. you will not sew them right sides together then turn it out, you will just be sewing straight around the edge as is.)

Sew around the edge using a running stitch. Make sure you leave the bottom edge open for your finger.

Go all the way around and you are done!

Notes

•              If you don’t have two small buttons, you can just use black thread to create two eyes.
•              Add a white craft pom pom for a cotton tail if you have one.
