Teaching little ones about animals is fun! Kids love learning about all the different kinds of animals, the sounds they make, the shape of their paws, feathers, skin, etc.

One can get very creative when making crafts about animals, but better yet, if you can do it without it costing a fortune!

Let's take a look at 5 simple DIY's:

1. Brown paper bags...

Oh man, I love them! They can do just about anything and tend to be very cheap (cheaper than white ones too!)

Anything you can think of:

Love it love it love it!

2. The back of a cereal box...

It's kind of brilliant, it's strong and it's big enough.

How cool is that?

3. Paper plates...

Who needs those anyways???

I'm in love with that reindeer!

4. Scrap paper...

Okay, so these won't hold long, but who cares?

Awww

5. Cardboard / Box...

This might take a while, but it looks cool!

Is this heavy?

Any other cool and priceless ideas?
I'd love to hear from you!
