The Horse That Doesn’t Look Like a Horse

Filed in Animals, Farm Animals, Horses, Toddler and Preschool Activities

So this horse looked a lot cuter inside my head then it did when we actually made it. But it was still fun.

First Hailey painted four craft sticks brown.

We used 2 of those little cardboard planters.

I cut about 1/3 off of one of the planters. Hailey added eyes and a mane. We didn’t have any brown feathers for the mane so Hailey decided she wanted a rainbow mane of her horse.

Hailey added a brown pipe cleaner to the larger cardboard planter for a tail.

Then we glued the smaller one on top of the bigger one.

We also added ears and once the craft sticks were dry, we added those as legs. So it ended up not looking much like a horse… maybe more like a cat of dog. But Hailey had fun.

Hailey reading one of her horse books to a couple of her dolls.

I could tell it was a horse, but then you said it was a dog and that was all I could see! It’s still cute =)

What is it with little girls and horses? I have a horse-loving 4 year old myself, so we’ll have to try this!
