This activity is designed to accompany a whole class reading of the book Giraffes Can’t Dance by Giles Andreae and Guy Parker-Rees.

Create your own wobbly dancing giraffe using this easy, low-prep craft template!

Students decorate and cut out the giraffe parts, attaching them together using pipe cleaners. Choose to display your giraffes standalone or use the included backdrop templates to place Gerald the Giraffe in a setting from the book!

Detailed recommended instructions are included in this download. However, you can complete this activity using any art methods and supplies at your disposal.

Pair with the Giraffes Can’t Dance Banner for an eye-catching classroom display.

Top Teacher Tip: Little hands will work best with this template enlarged to A3!
