Zoo Animal Hat: Zebra Style!

No animal has more of a distinctive coat than the zebra! Today’s craft is about recreating those fingerprint-like stripes into a mohawk zebra hat mask! Below are my guided instructions to create this easy zoo creature.  It’s prefect for pretend play. My kids enjoyed braying like zebras all afternoon!

  • white cardboard or newspaper
  • scissor
  • black marker or paint
  • clear packing tape

 

  1. Cut out a long nose in a rectangular shape narrowing at the top. Use cardboard or stacked newspaper and roll it at the bottom to represent the mouth.
  2. Cut out the mohawk mane with cardboard and fan.
  3. Cut out two ears with the cardboard.
  4. Create stripes with paint or marker on the nose, mane, and ears.
  5. Tape all the parts together.
  6. Pretend to bray like a zebra and have fun!

Add these fun resources to your zoo units!

Meet the Teachers

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
