Ever since I woke up at 3 am to watch the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton live on TV, I’ve been following their family more closely than a patriotic American probably should. It’s hard to resist this picture-perfect royal family, especially since Will and Kate have welcomed a bouncing baby boy into the world. This jet-setting trio is currently on a tour of Australia, and they took little George to a zoo on Easter Sunday. This highly-publicized getaway got me thinking about all of the animal crafts on the Web. Whether they are knitted, crocheted, sewn, or sculpted, these cute zoo animals make perfect gifts for baby showers. Little George may be used to expensive toys, but I bet that even he would love to cuddle with one of these creatures.

These are just too cute! I love the Christmas versions of some of the crafts. My friend’s favorite animals are elephants, and I know she would enjoy an elephant ornament as her next gift!
My personal favorite animals to make are mice 🙂
My favorite animal to craft is the monkey. Although I can no longer knit or crochet, I can sew and have planned to make several monkeys for charity. Even little boys who don’t want a doll will cuddle and play with a monkey.
