L is for Llama Zoo Craft

June 22, 2019

Make a quick & easy L is for Llama Zoo Craft with your little kids! If you’re looking for letter crafts or even planning a preschool zoo theme, then this post is for you! 

We’ve had quite the adventure here lately. I’ll share more about that later, though. For now let’s talk about L is for Llama and our llama zoo craft.

A huge thanks to Experience Early Learning (formerly Mother Goose Time) for providing us with their Experience Preschool curriculum for free in exchange for sharing our honest and authentic stories resulting from our personal experiences. It’s been such a huge blessing to us! As always, my opinions on awesome stuff for little kids are 100% my own.

Keep in mind that all preschoolers do things in their own time and on their own terms. What one is ready for, another might not be. Please use your best mama judgement when planning activities for your little kids. 

This was definitely a quick and easy letter craft for preschoolers. And of course both the little guy and I had a blast with it. 

L is for Llama Zoo Craft

What you’ll need

  • Letter L
  • Yarn
  • Wiggle Eye
  • Paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Crayons or Markers

Here’s how to do it

Discuss

  • How might a llama’s wool feel?

Make 

  • Invite children to use the letter L and make a llama. 
  • Encourage them to cut ears and legs from the paper then attach to the L. 
  • Add a wiggle eye then cut yarn into pieces and glue on “wool.”
  • Glue the llama onto the paper and decorate as desired. 

Play

  • Invite children to play “Lost Llamas.”
  • Hide llamas around the room, then search for them. 

Observe

  • Did the child hold the scissors and cut the yarn and paper? 
  • Did he appear to have consistent fine motor control?

We started with a letter L.

A bit of glue and the little guy attached the letter L to his paper.

We used our scraps to cut out a head and legs for the llama and added a wiggle eye.

Each of the four legs were glued to the llama as well.

And every llama needs a nose, ears, and a mouth too.

Of course we can’t forget about our llama’s wool.

We used short pieces of natural yarn and a glue stick.
