Paper Cone Giraffe Craft

Giraffes are some of our favorite animals. With their long necks and wobbly legs, they always appear as if they’re like the gentle giants of the wild. We had a lot of fun playing up those long features, too, with this adorable Paper Cone Giraffe Craft. With Free Printable Template, too!

There are a few animals that my 3 year old son is enamored with. Elephants and giraffes are at the top of the list. Thus, they’re our favorite animal crafting subjects these days. We especially love these paper cone giraffes because they’re so easy to create, and look cute every time!
