Kids will have so much fun making this simple sloth paper craft! Use the free printable sloth template to make craft time quick and easy.
Most kids love arts and crafts, and we all want to encourage that creativity. But I’m sure I’m not the only parent that also dreads the task of rounding up all the supplies . . . and then cleaning up the mess afterward.
Paper crafts are a great way to give our kids the creative time that they crave, while also making things just a little bit easier on ourselves.
