Construction Paper Animal Crafts for Kids

I don't usually post on Saturdays, but there is nothing usual about anything right now. With all of California ordered to stay at home, schools closed, and social distancing in effect throughout the country, many parents are looking for ideas for things to keep their kids entertained using what they have on hand. Quite a few of my friends have contacted me specifically for ideas for construction paper crafts. 

I went through all of my animal craft tutorials and pulled out the ones that are made exclusively, or predominantly, with construction paper. You'll find these below. In most cases, they can be made with scrapbook paper, cardstock, copy paper, or whatever else you have on hand.
