Bring a Koala to Life with This Hands-On Craft

Get ready for a cuddly craft that brings Australia’s favorite tree-climber to life. With this printable Koala Mask, your child can pretend to be a sleepy, snack-loving koala while practicing hands-on creativity.

All you need are a few simple materials like paint, cotton balls, glue, and a craft stick. Once the mask is colored and decorated, your child can hold it up and imagine they are climbing trees and munching on pretend eucalyptus leaves.


Why This Craft is a Hit at Home

Making the mask helps little learners strengthen their fine motor skills while having fun with cutting, painting, and gluing. It is also a great way to spark interest in animals and nature through pretend play.


Let’s Add Some Koala Fun

These simple questions add learning and connection to the fun. As your child creates their mask, ask questions like:

  • What sound do you think a koala makes

  • Where do koalas live in the wild

  • What would you pack if you were going on an adventure to Australia
