How to Build Your Own Rhino
Supplies Needed
- Rhino craft template
- Crayons, markers, or colored pencils
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- White copy paper or construction paper (optional)
Step 1: Color the pieces
Color the rhino’s head, body, and legs with crayons, markers, or colored pencils.
Rhinos are usually shades of gray or brown, but you can use any colors you like.
Step 2: Cut out the pieces
Next, cut out all of the pieces.
Don’t worry about cutting perfectly on the lines.
It’s completely fine if there’s a small border around the edges, especially around the horns and tail.
Step 3: Glue the back legs first
Glue two of the legs behind the rhino’s body so they peek out from underneath.
If you’re using a background, now you can glue the body piece onto the paper before moving on.
Step 4: Finish your rhino
Glue the head onto the front of the body. Then, glue the remaining two legs on top of the body to finish your rhino.
