Giraffe Art Ideas

Sorry for such the long absence. My new job and everything has been keeping me very busy. I haven't abandoned Hearts and Trees completely. I am still offering my Summer/Fall 2009 Kit for sale, so be sure to check it out if you haven't already. I am hearing a lot of good things from families who have purchased it. And I will be offering a winter kit, which will be released towards the end of November, so be sure to look for that. I am going to be trying to post here on my blog at least once a week starting in October. :)

I wanted to share with you my new giraffe statue. I bought it at a local Goodwill store for $2. I love it. It has found a home on my dresser next to my vase of peacock feathers and my mini palm tree.

Anyone who knows me can tell you giraffes are my *most favorite* animal. I don't know what it is about them, they just make me very happy. :) In honor of that I have put together a few giraffe inspired art ideas in this post to share with you.

Mama and baby giraffe at the SF Zoo June 2007.

• The One Million Giraffe Project- make your own giraffe to contribute to the website seeking to gather one million giraffes. Or just explore the giraffes already submitted.
• Giraffe Scratch Project- I love this crayon or oil pastel and paint scratch project.
• Giant Giraffe Mural- like the one my family made for me.
• Giraffe Drawing Lesson Plan- scroll to the bottom of the page.
• Giraffe Stand-Up Coloring Page

If you do any of these projects, or have your own giraffe art ideas, be sure to leave me links in the comments section.
