Paper Plate Koala Craft

If you are doing a jungle theme in school you need to do my paper plate koala craft! This will teach kids so much about our much loved Koala bear. 

I believe teaching kids about different animals and their natural habitats starts at an early age! 

Koala bears are reknown for being from Australia and they live in the wild! 

This paper plate craft is great for stimulating kid’s imaginations as well as improving their fine motor skills. 

I adore this beautiful jungle animal and you can see I shared my love for it before in my Koala Bear Craft for Valentine’s Day.

My animal paper plate crafts feature almost every creature you can think of and will keep your kids crafting for weeks!
