Use our largest giraffe outlines for this project.
Write a number at the button and either let them draw the matching spots on the giraffe.
Otherwise, you could also paint spots on your giraffe in advance. Then show your children flash cards with numbers and let them count the right amount of spots.
If you like to do this giraffe activity over and over again, consider laminating your giraffe outlines.

Add an easy craft at the end and let them tell you all about their observations at the zoo.
5. Giraffe Coloring Pages
You can even easily adjust the difficulty level for older children. Simply give them a smaller giraffe outline or let them use a different painting technique that challenges them.

Another great way is using the Bubble Wrap Technique, Painting with Pom Poms, or Straw Blow Art.
