It’s a Zoo! 21 Animal Crafts

November 28, 2014 by AllFreeChristmasCrafts

Watch out, woodland critters! There’s a new animal trend in town–African mammals. For the past few years, stores have stocked their shelves with animals you might find in the forest, including owls, foxes, and even hedgehogs. These cute creatures have had their moment in the sun, and now exotic animals are taking their place. Here are some animal crafts that make great gifts for everyone on your list. Check out the projects below for some craftspiration as well as some education.
