Giraffe Cut and Paste Worksheet for Preschoolers
Assembling a giraffe from separate cut-out parts and gluing them onto a background gives children practice with proportion and placement — a giraffe's long neck and small head need to be positioned correctly relative to its body — which is a slightly more advanced spatial task than assembling rounder, simpler animals. This craft at ages 3-5 builds scissor control alongside basic animal knowledge.
