Are you looking for a fun craft idea for you and your children? Then these animals made from wooden sticks are just the thing for you! With little material, you can make cute animals as loops, bookmarks and for playing.

It's so easy to make the animals:
Variant 1 Animals:

Print out the templates and cut them out. Transfer to the desired papers on the cardboard block and cut out again. Glue together with VBS handicraft glue and 3D glue pads. Glue on the wobbly eyes. Wrap a chenille wire around the wooden sticks. Glue the head on with VBS handicraft glue.

Variant 2 birds:

Glue five coloured wooden sticks together on the narrow sides using VBS handicraft glue. Do this twice for each bird so that they look good from both sides. Once the glue has dried, glue feathers to one body and a loop of warp yarn to the top (for later looping). Glue the second body on top with handicraft glue and press firmly together or fix with staples. Fold the orange craft cardboard sheet into a strip approx. 3 cm wide. Starting on the closed side, cut out various large triangles as beaks. Glue on the beaks and the wobbly eyes.

Tip: If you want the birds to hang freely, you can glue beaks and eyes on both sides so that they look great from both sides.
