Safari is for sure a great theme for preschoolers. It’s just a little wild and there’s a lot of adventure. After all, the grasslands are home to lots of truly magnificent animals!

From the intriguing zebras and elephants to the dangerous lions, going on safari means getting up close and personal with some of the most amazing mammals in the world.

Here’s how to do it

  • Cover the two craft rolls with washi tape. There’s really no right or wrong way to do this. The little guy and I actually worked on it together. And with Washi tape, you really don’t even need scissors because it tears so easily. 
  • Tape the two craft rolls together. If you prefer, you could also use glue.

Like I said, it’s quick & easy. And let’s not forget about the fact that it’s an excellent activity for encouraging fine motor skills.

Manipulating the tape, tearing it and then wrapping the tape around the craft roll requires your little kids to focus and choosing how to decorate their binoculars means using creative thinking and problem-solving skills.

There are also lots of opportunities for pretend play. The little guy and I used our binoculars to explore and to check out what was around us!  DIY binoculars on white background
