In our continuing quest to build a cardboard tube zoo, we decided that we needed to represent the fastest mammal in the world, the cheetah.

So, we grabbed some paints and some empty cardboard tubes and started creating our cardboard tube cheetah craft.

They’re not as fast as the real ones, but they are a whole lot of fun!

Use recycled materials to make this cardboard tube cheetah craft. It's such a fun kids craft and it makes a fun toy when you're done.

While your paint is drying, cut two triangle shapes from your yellow construction paper for your cheetah’s ears.
