Free Printable Build A Horse Craft Template For Chinese New Year

How To Use the Build a Horse Printable

• Download the PDF file at the end of this post and print as many copies as you need onto white (printer) paper. For best results, use good-quality, thick/heavy paper.
• Alternatively, you can use the pieces as a template to trace onto coloured paper or card stock and build a horse with them.
• Print the free printable at home, at school, at work, or at a Print Shop, then cut the pieces out with scissors.
• The printables are suitable for children of all ages; however, some may need help cutting.
• Once cut, arrange the pieces to determine where everything goes before sticking them in place with a glue stick or sticky tape.
• We like using this roller glue because it is easy to use and has less sticky mess!

Craft Projects Using our Free Printable Horse Templates

• Adding Dimension: Mount the cutouts onto larger construction paper and embellish them with other craft materials, such as glitter, craft foam, or tissue paper. This is a perfect activity for an art class.
• Laminating: This fun craft is still possible for tiny kids who can’t yet use scissors! Use a laminator to laminate the printable, then cut out each shape, leaving a slight margin around each. Place Velcro Dots so the character can be assembled without cutting or gluing.
• Moveable Figure: Construct the character using split pins/brads instead of glue to make it moveable.
• Everybody Loves Puppets: Grab some popsicle sticks to make little puppets for role-playing or storytelling.
• Festive Decorations: Attach several to ribbon or string and hang them as bunting. They would make excellent decorations for a party or for hanging in your classroom. Add colored paper to the back of each one for a neater finish.
• Mobile: Similar to the previous idea, assemble several characters and glue them back-to-back, with some ribbon between them. Hang them at different lengths on a wire hanger for a cute decoration.

Roll-A-Horse Game

• This idea is based on the classic dice game and is a lot of fun to play!
• To set up, print, and cut enough horse pieces for each player, assign each piece a number.
• Depending on the number of pieces, you may need to use one or two dice or combine pieces so that each has a corresponding number.
• After rolling the die, the player picks up the corresponding piece to build their horse.
• If players roll a number for a piece they already have, they skip their turn.
• The winner is the first player to collect all the parts and assemble them!
