These adorable koala facts would surely inspire them to get started on their koala crafts right now!
Gather them in a circle and share the following facts about koalas with them!
Koalas are found in Australia’s eucalyptus woodlands.
Did you know they’re not actually bears?
They are marsupials like kangaroos and possums.
Eucalyptus leaves are the only food that koalas consume.
Eucalyptus leaves are also the reason why koalas don’t drink much water.
Koalas, like several other animals, prefer to sleep during the day.
Koalas are excellent climbers despite being slow animals!
They can climb up tall trees because of their razor-sharp claws.
They have a pouch, like kangaroos, and call their young joeys.
Their babies are deaf and blind from birth.
So, they live by using their senses and innate instincts.
Koalas live in the wild for an average of 20 years.
You may also use the printable koala craft template as a visual aid to show to the class while you share all of these koala facts with them!
3. Newspaper Paper Plate Koala Craft
Koalas are very cuddly and lovely, aren’t they?
It’s a lot of joy to watch them climb trees, sleep, and do whatever they want.
Their cuteness led us to create another idea in which kids can create their own koala craft using recyclable materials.
After kids have completed their printable koala craft template, gather some paper plates and newspapers for this activity!
Start by cutting some newspaper pages into strips.
To create the koala’s head, glue newspaper strips to a paper plate.
To make the koala’s ears, cut two circles out of newspaper and glue them to the paper plate as well.
The koala’s features can now be added using any writing or coloring tools like markers or crayons.
Feel free to use the printable koala craft template as a reference for adding extra koala features.
Decorate your classrooms and study areas at home with your finished paper plate newspaper koala crafts!
