Rocking Koalas

Create this cute rocking Koala and Joey! You can even write a cute message on the inside, then use it as a greeting card for someone special. A perfect activity to extend on texts such as Koala Lou written by Mem Fox and illustrated by Pamela Lofts, published by Penguin Australia.
  • Step 1Download and print the supplied template. We recommended printing onto cardboard to provide a sturdy surface for decorating and constructing your koalas.
  • Step 2Decorate the template using pencils or markers.
  • Step 3Using the solid grey lines as a guide, cut out the template pieces. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 4Mountain fold the circle in half along the grey dotted line. Apply glue to the back of the bottom half of the Koala piece. Line up the wood grain effect on the koala piece with the front of the circle and press together to secure. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5Your Rocking Koalas are ready to display. Open the circle base slightly so it stands by itself, then lightly tap one side to see your koalas rock! You could also write a cute message inside the circle base and use it as a greeting card for someone special.
