Activities

Let's get wild like a cheetah and do some fun activities!

Cheetah Costume

Grab your yellow sweat pants and hoodie it's time to make a cheetah costume! A great activity to sharpen those motor skills by cutting out SPOTS! Get the help of an adult or older sibling and start cutting out circles, ovals and oblong shapes from black felt. Then grab some glue (best if it's not washable glue ☺) and start sticking the SPOTS on. Really cannot make a mistake - glue them all over the sweat pants and hoodie. There's over 300 spots on the one Kristen's wearing. Make a tail out of yellow felt and/or fabric that can be hand sewn into a tube. Glue SPOTS on the tail and a few black stripes to the end section. Add a white cotton ball to the end for the tail tip fluff. Add ears with a headband and/or glue triangle shapes to the hoodie. Add black triangles to ears. Paint your face like a cheetah's face with tears and a nose. Now it's time to practice your cheetah purrs and chirps. Don't forget to snap a few pics to show your friends and family.

Color in the Spots Poster

Let's put the spots back on the cheetah poster. A simple, fun activity for learning, coloring or raising money for cheetahs. Lots of ways to put the spots back on the cheetah: color a spot for every cheetah fact you know, every 15 minutes of reading or use as a fundraising tool for supporters who donate money. Donation = 1 spot to color. Have fun with it!
