Moosgummi-Tiere basteln

Do you want to let your imagination run wild and create your own little animal friends out of foam rubber? With these instructions, you can easily create playful ladybirds, cheerful bees, curious snails, colourful butterflies, chirping birds and cute caterpillars. Foam rubber is an ideal material as it is easy to work with and offers many opportunities to let your creativity run wild. Let's get started together and discover the enchanting world of foam rubber animals!

Step 1: Transfer templates

Download the templates. Place them on the foam rubber and trace the outlines with a pencil. Make sure you position the foam rubber in good light so that all the lines are clearly visible.

Step 2: Cut out the foam rubber

Use sharp scissors to carefully cut out the outline of your animal from the foam rubber. Try to work precisely so that the shape is exactly how you want it. If you are helping younger children with the craft, supervise this step to avoid accidents.

Step 3: Glue the parts together

Now that you've cut out all the parts of your animal, the fun part begins - gluing them together! Use foam rubber glue to attach the individual parts of your foam rubber animal to each other. For example, glue the ladybird's angel wings to the body or attach the butterfly's angel wings to the centre. Allow the glue to dry sufficiently to ensure that everything is firmly attached.

Step 4: Attach the wobbly eyes

Wobbly eyes give your animals a lively and playful look. Glue the eyes onto the designated areas of your foam rubber animal.

Step 5: Colour in the facial features

Finally, you can give your animal some personality by colouring in the mouth and eyebrows with a fine felt-tip pen or permanent marker.

Now that you know all about crafting with foam rubber, it's time to bring your own creations to life. Whether alone or with friends and family - this crafting fun is guaranteed to bring joy and enthusiasm!
