Cactuses are undeniably adorable, whether you're doodling, coloring, or getting crafty. Today, we're here to share a simple yet engaging cactus plant craft that's perfect for preschoolers. Cactuses have a unique appearance, unlike the plants they typically encounter. This craft provides an excellent opportunity to teach kids about these fascinating desert dwellers, their distinct features, and their ability to thrive in hot, arid regions. Best of all, this is a low-prep activity that only requires basic craft supplies you likely already have at home.
Materials Required:
Before we dive into the craft, let's gather the materials you'll need:
- Download and print the free Cactus template
- Cardboard piece
- Scissors
- Glue
Step 1: Download and Print the Free Cactus Template
Start by downloading and printing the cactus craft template. You can easily access it by signing up using the form available in the next section. Once you have the template, stick it onto a cardboard piece to ensure that the cactus plants remain sturdy.
Step 2: Cut the Shapes Out from the Template
Now, carefully cut the shapes out from the template. If your little ones need assistance, be there to lend a helping hand. However, we encourage letting them exercise their independence by cutting the shapes on their own as much as possible. Don't worry about perfection—what matters most is that they have fun and develop their fine motor skills.
Step 3: Cut the Cactus Arms Out
Cut out the cactus arms from the template. Then, have the kids match each arm with its respective plant. Once they've done that, let them assemble the pieces and stick the arms onto each corresponding cactus plant.
Voila! The cute cactus plants are now ready! Allow your child to proudly display their creations wherever they choose. You can even use these charming plants for other projects, such as making greeting cards or using them as decorative items.
We hope you and your little ones have a blast with this craft. Let us know in the comments below how it goes!
