Y Is for Yak Craft

If you were thinking about trekking to the Himalayas to hang out with a yak, you can change your travel plans because our ABC Letter Craft brings this friendly beast right to your backyard! We’re sure you’ll give this letter Y craft two hooves up!

Here’s What You’ll Need

• 2 sheets of printer paper
• Card stock (we used dark brown, white, green, tan, and blue)
• Y Is for Yak Craft templates
• 2 “googly” eyes
• Glue stick and pencil

Instructions for Assembling Your Letter Y Craft

1. Print the Y Is for Yak Craft templates.
2. Cut out the templates and trace the letter Y, horns, nose, nostrils, and grass onto card stock.
3. Cut out the letter Y and the yak pieces.
4. Attach the letter Y to a full sheet of card stock (we used blue, but you can use any color you like).
5. Tuck the horns under the edge of the letter Y and glue in place.
6. Using scissors, cut slits in the ends of the grass to make it look “grassier.”
7. Glue the grass to the bottom of the letter Y.
8. Attach the nostrils to the yak’s nose and glue the nose on top of the grass so that grass is sticking out on both sides of his mouth.
9. Affix two googly eyes to the letter Y.

Learning with Your Letter Y Craft
