Giraffe Craft Word Search – Tall & Spotty Word Fun!

I made this 2-page word search for my preschool class during our jungle animals week. Kids search for 24 giraffe-themed words like "neck," "spots," and "savanna" hidden up, down, and sideways. The room exploded with giggles when someone found "tall"—suddenly everyone was stretching their necks like giraffes!

What’s Inside:
✔ 2 printable pages (word search + answer key)
✔ Bonus "Design Your Giraffe" activity (add spots with fingerprints!)
✔ Adorable clipart (baby giraffes, acacia trees, safari hats)

Teacher Tale:
“A student shouted ‘LEAVES!’ and started ‘eating’ paper leaves from our bulletin board—best. science. lesson. ever.” – Ms. J., PreK

Perfect For:
• Zoo animal units
• Measuring activities (“How tall is a giraffe?”)
• Jungle-themed storytime

Sample Words:

• hooves

• patch

• yellow

Teacher Hack:
Turn your doorway into a "giraffe neck"—tape words up high for kids to “reach” like giraffes!
