Jungle Animal Finger Puppets Printable
Weeeeeellll. We had SO MUCH FUN with our Farm Animal Finger Puppets, that I simply couldn’t resist another set of fun animal printagbles for you – this time we have a set of 10 Jungle Animal Finger Puppets or Rainforest Animal Finger Puppet! Each coloring page comes with a little fact about each animal, the puppet itself and some space to add extra drawings about the animal…
PLEASE NOTE: these are FINGER PUPPETS! So they are smaller and NOT hand puppets! Though if you want to print this over two pages (fiddle with your printer settings they can be used as handpuppets as well!)
This jungle or rainforest set of animals, includes:
- A monkey
- A capybara (ridiculously cute animal)
- A sloth (oh how we love sloths, especially ones that make a BIG yawn)
- A snake
- A leopard
- A toucan
- A cockatiel (could double easily as a parakeet)
- A poison dart frog (or green tree frog)
- A lemur
- And an ocelot!
That really is quite a collection of jungle animals to choose from, don’t you think?
